grrgyle, do games w Sony blocks Stellar Blade in more than 100 countries

Why?

slazer2au,

Likely PSN requirements. Same thing happened with Helldivers until Sony reversed the decision.

Helldivers is still blocked for those countries. They just dropped the PSN requirement.

leftzero,

That’s Sony telling the customers they kicked to the curb that it wasn’t because of the PSN thing.

It was personal.

Yermaw,

Could you elaborate a little more? Like do those countries not allow subscription services or something?

Only reason i can think of with my rational, non-global-economic brain is that it’s got too much gory/sexual/political/whatever content that isn’t worth the effort censoring.

They are countries that do not have PSN access. As Sony wants to make PSN accounts mandatory on PC, they got in hot water for selling their games in countries where you can’t legally even have a PSN account.

In response, they blocked sales in all those countries.

gradual,

make PSN accounts mandatory on PC

Sigh. The abuse never ends.

I still don’t understand how blocking individual EU countries conforms to the EU single market.

banghida,

It doesn’t

FelixCress,

Who is going to report them?

banghida,

Probably nobody 🫤

FelixCress,

I mean I hoped someone would.

rickyrigatoni,

How do I report them

FelixCress, (edited )

You can try sg-plaintes@ec.europa.eu (no idea if this email still works) or their website contact form but this is usually for breaches of EU laws by member states. ec.europa.eu/law/…/check-your-criteria

Some poor antarctic scientist is gonna be fucking pissed.

supersquirrel,

Also Sony DOES NOT realize how much of their customer base are penguins living on remote islands… who have been getting slammed with sanctions on penguin tux imports from Italy and now this?!

It’s absolutely fine to put your pirate hat on when they do this kind of thing.

Absolutely. It’s not like the person can even support the studio, it’s blocked in their country.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Denuvo

randamumaki, (edited )

No DRM exists which can’t be circumvented one way or another given enough time.

DoucheBagMcSwag, (edited )

Only if empress gives a shit or gets enough money. Last time I checked shes the only one crazy enough to attack Denuvo

randamumaki,

If you’re unhappy about the lack of crackers worth a damn, you could always learn to do it yourself.

let me just get on that real quick 😂 I’m sure that the lack of people engaged in it doesn’t mean it’s hard or anything.

man if only it was that easy

randamumaki,

Nothing in life is easy.

TaiCrunch,

Have you ever considered public speaking?

If you have, don’t.

JadenSmith,

I spoke in public once.
I mean, granted it was to apologise for that thing with the onions, but people listened!

DoucheBagMcSwag,

What an idiotic statement.

So you realize how complicated Denuvo is? Only one person in the entire WORLD currently can crack it.

randamumaki,

Don’t worry, more people are on it than just Empress. You don’t have to lash out just because you don’t know how to find them. I will save you the trouble of reading my future comments.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Right back at you

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Wasn’t there also a guy who only did sports games that could do it too or am i misremembering?

DoucheBagMcSwag,

RUNE used to be there, but once Denuvo got updated, Empress was the only one.

I did some research and apparently Empress is out too. Apparently they shut off their Internet connection because they started hurting themself. The golden age is over

leftzero,

Denuvo

… is expensive. And a subscription service.

Which means there’s an incentive for studios to remove it as soon as new sales aren’t bringing enough money for its cost to be worth it.

That’s when you want to pirate (or buy, if you’re into that kind of shit) the game. With the added benefit that it’s unlikely that the studio will come up with more updates or DLC, and if the game is at all moddable it’ll probably have a mature community patch that’ll fix everything the studio was unwilling or unable to patch. (Also, I’m not sure how denuvo cracking works, but I doubt it removes all of that shit, so a game with it properly removed will probably run better than a cracked one, even if the cracked one still ran better than the original infected version.)

ms_lane,

Tell that to Square Enix…

Something, something, April 2nd.

RandomVideos,

They will announce one day earlier that the game will come out next day

MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown,
@MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io avatar

Honestly, it would be hilarious if they did a goofy, “coming out tomorrow,” April Fools day announcement, and Nintendo snapped back the next day with “no, really, available now!”

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Yeah I’m thinking that they want to cash in on the switch user base of the first game. Be stupid not to

Gets a release date at the Switch event on April 2. Guaranteed.

FooBarrington,

Why do these people keep doing this to themselves

DScratch,

HL3 soon after. 5real this time guise.

And the George Martin will finish A Song of Ice and Fire.

I only believe in the silk when there is song.
