      @@SpartanDusk Has that game dev gone through a situation like this themselves? No? Was their game an online only experience? Then what they say is irrelevant. Also, some random comment saying some random game dev said this is not enough. If steam themselves say its on Sony, ill accept that.
      You should recognize that some of these regions fall into legal areas where steam could also be found liable if a lawsuit was started due to local consumer rights laws.
      Also, delisting a game from sale doesnt prevent people who've already purchased in from accessing the game. During the Epic exclusivity issue, i owned games on steam that were delisted when they became exlcusive. I could still access and play the singleplayer, but steam multiplayer functionality was removed.
      I also never said steam is stalling, and im not blaming steam. But if a game dev did this to my distribution company, even if in most cases changing the region lock is easy, i wouldnt let them just open it back up for sale without assurances.

    It's funny how this Helldivers stuff killed all excitement for any future PS game on PC for me. While I'll play Helldivers again, I won't be purchasing any Super Credits at all. I'll just be happy with the super creds they give in the game. Because Sony has shown they're willing to screw us over for stats, not even money.
    And yeah, we bullied the company, but Sony wouldn't have cared until Arrowhead threatened to sue for breach of contract, and Valve threatened Sony with a big bill for all the refunds. Plus all the pending lawsuits from countries where the game was now fully blocked 3 months after, and it was a nightmare for Sony.
    I hope this shows that Sony is not to be trusted as a publishing partner. And that Arrowhead can pull a Hello Games and separate themselves from Sony.
    Edit: Can we talk about "It's free" argument? You know what else is free? Having a flock of seagulls crap on you. But I bet you any money you avoid getting crapped on by seagulls.
    Yes, I know its free to make a PSN account. The issue isn't the fucking price. The issue is 2 folds:
    1 - If it's not required for me to use the platform, I shouldn't have to make it.
    2 - PSN isn't available worldwide. It's only in countries Sony "allows" you to, and those saying "Use a VPN", that is against Sony TOS, something you guys cling to like it's a religion apparently, so that just means that Sony would still be able to block people from playing a game they bought.

    Hot take, I don't think Sony caved to the gamers but Sony caved to Steam. I think Steam saw the writing on the wall and started doing things to protect its self from litigation in all the countries that didnt have PSN. And because Steam started to protect its self Sony got sacred.

    This is why I don't buy games from Ubisoft, EA, and the Epic Game store. I don't want 10 different launcher with 10 different accounts. I want 1 Platform, where i can Sign in, and that's it.
    Do I need to make multiple accounts on the Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo Switch? No!?

      Very relatable and based comment overall. We don't need extra nonsensical accounts to have access to games we actually spent our money on. We as consumers should be able to access things whenever and wherever we want and stupid corporate practices like this are the reason why gamers pirate their games or buy things elsewhere. You should only have reasonable amount of accounts when it comes to accessing things especially when it comes to steam. One steam account for all your games is what's necessary. That's real and fair consumer practice.

      39 is a very low number. Actually around 130+. In some countries like Ukraine (the friggin war torn country) & India you need a PS4 or PS5 to verify the PSN account.

Sony does not. In fact you are creating an account for a console. That is completely different than also logging into a Windows client app like Ubisoft, EA, etc.

    It was good you held off doing your video over the weekend. You called it, bro! Sony backtracked. That's why you're the best.

    Gaming would be so much better if people would just game

      Agreed… but, I’m a salt addict. 👀

      If a piece of hardware can run a game, it should be allowed to run that game - that's at least my opinion, sad it isn't more prevalent...

    I love the Windows account example especially, since I can literally take a different operating system on a PC like Linux and play Helldiver II on it.

    I think no one would have complained if the account was required upfront.

      No one besides PS owners would’ve bought it too

      I would not buy the game at all if it required a PlayStation account. Never going to happen. I will boycott ghost of tsushima too

      @OhNoAlexxStreams right, and then it would have lived or died on it's own merit.

    I always, ALWAYS have to lower my volume before each Alex video.
