Meh,

I was interested and it could be nice. But staying in the loop means registering with a discord or github account. :/

True, but they aren’t marketing it as FOSS though.

Fucking Asus transformer pad.

Please send it back for free and we’ll check if the damage is under warranty. If not you’ll need to pay 50$>to get your device back.

FUCK. OFF. Ship it back for free if it isn’t under warranty. Or have a contract with a shop nearby that can determine if it’s under warranty.

Last time I bought anything Asus.

Actually that’s a lie. I have their routers in house which, for now, all seem to run pretty decently

Maybe I’ve got a broken set. The ones that were assembled properly

This would have been less of an issue if it remained enforced from the start. Re-enforcing it after demonstrating it clearly works without makes it look scummy and greedy. People could also easily refund if they didn’t agree. Now its too late.

For a lot of people it now looks as: now that the game is a success we want to collect everybody their data as well so we can make even more money.

Tbh, other games just require a 3rd party account without linking them explicitly. This requires an actual link which ( likely ) gives them access to a lot of your steam information which you’d rather NOT give to a corp that doesn’t seem capable at guarding people their data.

Apparently they recently updated the store to no longer sell in unavailable psn regions.

I can fully understand the agreement between the two parties was “also requires a psn account” while AH being completely unaware that getting a PSN account is so restrictive.

Sony likely didnt explicitly add that the game cannot be sold in regions where they can’t create an account.

Edit: or the didn’t explicitly state which regions a psn account CAN be created in.

That is true, but it I’d an additional hurdle. Sony is playing it smart.

They made an announcement and had a bunch of Outrage now. If they had just enforced it people would have refunded on mass probably. Now people can still actually play.

I’m guessing steam might be less eager to refund when the actual deadline hits. I also feel like a lot of people will just cave and link/create the account.

That’s definitely what Sony is expecting. And it’s also what I’m hearing from friends. That they dont want to, but that it’s a fun game ans they’d rather keep playing with friends.

The company that published the game likely updated the region it can be sold in. Steam just offers a platform.

Steam/valve is literally not to blame at all for any of this. Do you work for epic games or something?

I’m all for putting the blame where it needs to be, but you’re just shooting at all parties involved indiscriminately. Like blaming a rental company for a death in a traffic accident because they own the car.

Go ahead lol. It was the only thing that came to mind as to why you’d want to try and put blame on valve over this whole fiasco.

The thing is that it was enforced right at the beginning. There was a period where you couldn’t play without a PSN account, before they made it optional while Sony rolled out more infrastructure to handle the player numbers.

That’s what I heard as well. I was a bit dumbfounded when I read that it suddenly became mandatory.

I think Arrowhead screwed up because they didn’t know that PSN accounts aren’t available everywhere and so were selling the game in places that couldn’t play it unknowingly.

I think this is the most plausible reasoning. It’s what I’m thinking as well, and also what seems to appear through the CM. In which case it is a screwup on their end. Though in 2024 I do get you’d expect people to be able make an account anywhere in the world for a company like Sony.

Steam is usually pretty good about refunds and has apparently already pulled the game from the store in places where you can’t make a PSN account, so I imagine they’re planning to refund the game. This looks like the kind of thing that could be class-action lawsuit worthy.

If they did that’s good on them, but not wholly their responsibility. It is a good move to prevent new purchases they’d have to refund anyway ( or until there is clarity on what will happen in those regions ). I would kind of expect the publisher to do this once they figured out this was possible though :/

Im not even sure if the game would have taken off at all. Psn servers couldn’t handle the load which is Why it was disabled ( temporarily ) in the first place.

A lot of people, including myself, never even linked the psn because I could skip it.

What game is this even from.?

I read that in some regions ( I think UK/Ireland? ) it requires a picture OD your face/ID to verify your age.

Can’t verify that though

The friends thing is weird. I have a pending invite to a friend and I’m already appearing in his list as a friend ans he can’t accept the invite. So we have to set it to public, join, set it to friends only to avoid randos.

Yeah I hate that storepages have these videos that look absolutely amazing but show nothing of the actual game.

Sure it looks fancy, but it won’t convince me to buy the game until I can actually see what I’m buying.

You mean the season pass? Great! Everybody knows games suck if you can’t pay 70$ for seasonal cosmetics every 3 months

I hope it’s more stable than the limited test I’ve been playing. Hopefully comp is not limited to premier, but you can pick the maps you want to play on.

The hitboxes feel really weird. Sometimes it feela like the bullet went straight through people repeatedly ( e.g.: with a scout ) other times I seem to hit something I’m convinced was a fatfingered miss.
