that is misleading as fuck. recore, state of decay, sea of thieves are mediocre at best if we don't even count a lot of bugs and glitches.No you can't. Modern Sony fanbase was educated (by them) into wanting nothing but games with the best production values. AA like games from the competition were used as ammo for the console war (recore, state of decay, sea of thieves, grounded)
Ico bombed in a spectacular fashion back in the day. Picture now.

look, Sifu, Kena, Stellar Blade and etc is praised on Playstation and they sold very solid numbers. even Returnal was huge success to Housemarque that Sony even bought them.
yes, few games were not success, but we are talking Sony, which offers best 3rd party and 1st and 2nd party games. it is just impossible to make every single game successful, it is just unrealistic, but still, it offer biggest probability to succeed.
I was only half-joking but imagine my shock to learn it's actually happening.Steam users when they realize they need to connect Ghost of Tsushima to a PSN account to get that overlay and them trophies they did victory laps about:
their standard is : early access junk. what else you expect?Imagine seeing high quality standards as something negative.

Is that why so many of the same people are already pressuring Sucker Punch to get Sony to drop it for their game too after making it VERY clear it would be required?no one cares about creating a PSN account, in fact, a lot of us probably already have one, I do. The outrage was for the hundreds of thousands of players in other countries who had to risk bans to create a PSN account or the absurd barrier of entry in some countries such as Ukraine where you MUST own a PS4/5 to make an account. Some countries straight up have denied access to creating one.
"The perceived bait & switch"
I'm glad for Sony's decision and for that I already reversed my Steam review to recommended.
Again, I'm not against the PSN linking.
However, the perceived bait&switch made it look pretty bad, and the matter of hundreds of thousands of people with the game not having any legitimate way to get a PSN account turned the situation a bit insane.
have a read:
you can't then expect them to pump out games left and right if they cost the GDP of a small country.
You didn't need a VPN to create a PSN account in another region.
FFS people on console make Japanese PSN accounts all the time while being in Europe and NA with no bans. The TOS violation was the VPN, not the account.
don't bother, these people are with 80 IQ.You didn't need a VPN to create a PSN account in another region.

trophy hunting? access some games which are not released in that region?Why TF would you need to make accounts from different countries in tbe first place? You should be able to switch account regions if you move. PSN infrastructure is archaic. It's just that Sony gamers are used to it.
PSN is supported in more regions than XBL accounts, and Xbox games require linking for those. Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, etc. I have yet to see even a FRACTION of this outrage.

I bought a US edition for wasteland 3 for my PS4 WO paying any attention to it (IDK how a US copy even got here) and could not use the DLC I bought on my UK PSN account. Need to pay more attention to it in the future.if you bought game and DLC on EU account, you can't play DLC from US account.
Yeah, that's the lesson to be learned here.
Not: "PC gamers are whiny babies."... those whiny babies just made Sony stop in their tracks.
You can also make them stop stealing your money for online services.
I was just being ironic and pointing out the current absurd situation where Sony is willing to threat PC players much better than PlayStation players, fuck Sony, I hope they end up just like Xbox. I'm out after PS5 and if I didn't have one I would not be interested in buying it.There's nothing to learn from this situation, why don't PC clowns apply that same vitriol to Nvidia for overpriced GPUs? Or against devs for the countless buggy ports that they've come to accept? Or you know, the 1000 other games that also require linking a 3rd party account?
And paid online was normalized by Xbox idiots, the same Xbox idiots that are now larping as PC gamers and acting like they're above it all.
Y'all are mistaken, PC gamers didn't get any win, Sony just took a big fat L and made another incredibly stupid business decision. Which is par for the course for them these days.
The only time Sony "pissed on" consumers was when they raised PS Plus prices. Beyond that, most PS fans have been happy for the most part, getting GOTY worthy games almost every year. PC players get pissed on just as much, if not more, than everyone else in gaming.
