    “We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

      I had issues buying games on Steam before. Example: I recently bought lollipop chainsaw, and the servers were having issues. Tried on app desktop phone data, which didn't matter. You can't have things work 24/7. Maintenence exists. It refused to let me buy it so I bought it next morning. Even steam can't live up to 24/7, and none of my internet had issues.

    This is what truly boggles my mind about the account linking thing. Sony had a chance to dive into markets that can't legally obtain PSN accounts to play their games by bringing them to PC, but instead they chose to continue to block these markets, thus all those potential buyers can truly do is just pirate these games, thus an instant loss of revenue for Sony.
    All they had to do was make it optional. Give people incentives to join. Those that can't or choose not to can still play the games. Those who can get a few extra benefits. Win/win. But we all know at this point Sony has lost their collective marbles.

    People have too many accounts to deal with, no one likes having to sign in to EA or Ubi or Rockstar if you are buying the game on Steam or Gog. It is even worse if you happen to live in a region where PSN isn't available to begin with. It was already a known thing over a decade ago that you shouldn't require an account to order something from an online shop because that could drive away customers and this was before password managers and the like became mainstream.
    Companies really need to stop all of these transparent attempts to lie to their shareholders about how popular their services are. People with the rigs to care about Playstation releases on PC are not going to go buy Playstations, they already have them if they care enough to buy them at all. The upper management needs to stop lying to their shareholders about that being a thing.

    A 2 year old game, releasing at $60 and requiring giving personal data to a company that has been hacked multiple times, plus it is a single player game requiring an online connection. This is not glass half full. Sony isn't porting to PC to be nice and embrace PC users. PC video game market is now estimated to be at $40.4 Billion in 2023 it is expected to grow to $150 Billion over the next 10 years. We are no longer little Oliver holding out his bowl asking for me. We are not begging for Sony ports, they want into our market. And we as consumers are absolutely right to set our demands where we want them! I am not saying boycott, but 100% if you don't want to get pulled into another "Service" subscription or foul practices don't touch them until they change their practices.
    There was a couple of years where Breath of the wild came out, Horizon's Zero Dawn, Persona 5, God of War remake, etc. were all coming out and it felt a little bad being "Just a PC gamer". But their exclusives taught us to wait, to make do, to find the indi games, and the markets have come to us. So many people have refused to get dragged into the Ubisoft store that they're games HAD to come back to steam (Still the DRM attached BUT we are setting the limits.) Same with EA Sony, Microsoft has fully embraced PC gaming and Sony will learn as well.
    Just remember it is never as bad or as good as it sounds on the internet.

      I understand people that don't want one because of privacy concerns, as in some countries you need a photo ID to make that account, and sony is prone to get a big hack each X years, people don't want to risk their info to get breached.
      Also, I'm from one of the 167 countries without psn, you can make the account if you have access to a ps4 or ps5, but even that is not enough as steam will not even let you buy the game, and no, vpn are a risky solution because both steam and play station terms of service reserves them the right to ban your account if they find out you're using one.

I launch the game and go right to start new game, no pop ups or any of that crap to try forcing me to log into PSN.

    They're making singleplayer games legally unplayable for so many people for really stupid reasons. My region isn't supported by PSN, so I can't buy HD2, Ghost of Tsushima OR GoW Ragnarok. So now Im just forced to sail the high seas. Thanks sony.

    I’m OK with Sony wanting to be integrated with PC market. But they have to do it the right way. They come in thinking that we are thinking like most ponies do, and will just eat whatever crap they feed us without question, but they fail to realize that we are much smarter than that and actually care about our wallets. Plus, we are a little a bit more hardened on personal security and will hold them accountable for data breaches. So once they figure that out and play ball, we can have a great relationship.

    I have no issues with what other people choose to do, but I will not purchase a game that requires PSN account linking. Here is why:
    1. Sony lied. With Helldivers they claimed they only wanted to require the account linking so that they could protect the Sony players in group play and they would not do this for purely single player games. I don't reward liars.
    2. Sony has a terrible track record for protecting personal data.
    3. If you take a deeper look into the negative reviews on Steam, MANY people who DO have an old PSN account are not able to log in and the support for fixing this is nonexistent.
    4. Sony, like Ubisoft and other big studios, are struggling to make a profit off of their largest AAA games. It is the height of stupidity to sacrifice sales by forcing us to log into accounts we don't need just to purchase and play their games. If I, like other players, do not bend on issues like this they will cave or they will fail. It is also the reason I will rarely if ever pay full price for a game that is intentionally held back from the PC. It is totally fine to have timed exclusives, but don't expect me to pay full price if you make me wait a year. There are plenty of other publishers that won't treat me like a second class citizen.

    Sony would do well to fix their inability to compete with a PC. I can play PC games from the late 70s in 2024 on a PC.
    Sony intentionally deleted small navigation HTML files so that I can’t even play PS3 games that I downloaded in 2016. It would almost be OK if I had access to my PS3 Library on the new PS 5 Pro and it would not only allow me to play my previously purchased games but also PS1 and PS2 backwards compatibility. Until they do that as a bare minimum, there’s absolutely no reason to even consider another console purchase if I know that in another 8 to 10 years, they’re just going to block Access from downloading my games again. It speaks to extremely shady business practices if Sony refuses to play by the rules that everyone else does who can sell their games worldwide.

  • @scottland906
    @scottland906 19 часов назад

    I think this is way less about account linking and more about how there was virtually zero advertising for GOW Ragnarok and lots of games are releasing right now... compare the ads to Ghost of Tsushima and its night and day
    I also don't know why PlayStation is the one getting hit by gamers on the account linking stuff. You know for a fact if Nintendo put Breath of the Wild on Steam with a mandatory Nintendo account, gamers would kiss the hand that feeds them.

    They need to stop the games demand you to have an account for Sony or Xbox. Demanding an account link causes problems for players just to play the game. Minecraft has gotten worse with Xbox demand you to make an account just to play it. Most of the maps they sell in the store, the game keeps crashing and unable to play on PS5 and Switch. Minecraft ran better and didn't crash as much until Microsoft made it mandatory just to play it. Sony making it mandatory just to play makes it harder just to play the game. Steam Deck is a pain in the ass to play a game that requires you to download a program just to start the game. If they don't want people pirate the games, they have Steam installed which already verifies the games before they play them.

    To all of you people who have PSN in your countries, pls give a negative review at STEAM for Sony and God of War RAGNAROK. Be voices of millions of us who does not have PSN at our countries. We talking about 120 countries at least. This way u helping us and making us all equal in terms of playing games and availability to buy them. Just remember how Helldivers 2 players fought for themselves and the other players where they were kicked out because of PSN account linking. Be our voices because we can not say anything at Steam about that. There is no option to do it. Let SONY learn lesson on much harder way. Thanks to all of you who will support us.
    I want to buy game legally but i have no option at all to buy it and millions of us too.👋

    Live in the Bahamas, Can't sign up for PSN, so I sailed the 7 seas and got the game.
    Not gonna lie, the game is so boring Sony games are normally just interactive movies, but this is even worse than that after 2 hrs I shut the game down and haven't loaded it back up since. Keep in mind, i had fun with God of War (2018), Spider-Man 2018, Returnal and the first Horizon Game. Don't know what the hell Sony did with this game.

    Sony has been loved internationally, touted over Xbox in most smaller markets.
    For them to block most of their userbase from accessing the game is absolutely asinine and completely out of touch with reality.
    I currently have GoT and GoWR downloaded, didn't pay for either despite both being games I was ready to pay for.
    Coming over from PS, I supported all their games since switching over to PC. Up until they lost their damn minds.

    10 hours of GoW Ragnorok, Ultra settings with a R7 7700 and 7900xtx and it's 150-180fps (I think 180 is the cap), and it's possibly the best looking game I've ever played. The PSN account linking is crap though, if you're wiser than me you should NOT support SONY's anticonsumer antics.
