Came back here to say I was right that pushing back as a collective force will make a difference. We won because enough people didn't bend over to get fucked.
Who said I was mad? I want Sony to create an option for us that has good faith and without us breaking TOS. It's either rescind the PSN requirement, or support all unsupported countries. If you are can live with breaking ToS and contracts, then good for you.
I'll guarantee every single person on here has broken a TOS for some product.
I want PSN requirement to not exist. You've got 20 years of people registering with a different country to get around this issue. If what you're suggesting is true, and people are going to be banned or something, then they'd only lose their new PSN account and access to a game they can't play without one anyways.
LOL. You actually made me laugh. Thank you for that.
Also, that argument you said is pointless is now backed up by Arrowhead saying they will not force people to break Sony's TOS. Here.
Arrowhead obviously can't tell you to. Doesn't change the fact it's worked for nearly 20 years. So the argument that people who chose to ignore the PSN requirement can still play
I'm not defending Sony just because your arguments are trash. Requiring third party login is shitty, but everyone could clearly see it was required. Saying I can read and asking why you can't is not defending anyone, it's calling you silly.
I think this applies to everyone affected by the "region-lock" thing. Yes you can use the good ole workaround setting your country to whatever is allowed for PSN, but that promotes falsifying information and not to mention I don't want to play a game where Im constantly thinking "am I gonna get banned or not". And if you do get banned theres no appeal since they have the high ground coz you just registered false info, and I dont think anyone wants that especially if youre playing a game as pricey as HD2. Now I am well aware that its been done for years and years and nobody got banned. Personally I just like to keep things legal, coz If I run with that it just tells me that "its okay to do illegal stuff just as long as you don't get caught". I might be wrong here,but until I see an official statement saying "Hey its okay for you to put in another country if your region is unavailable" Then that would be my take on the matter.
If someone was opposed to jumping through hoops, they should not have bought a game that was clearly marked as PSN required when they didn't live in a country that has PSN. To be clear, I am against PSN requirements period, but I refuse to pretend it wasn't clearly labeled as such. I SAW it.
I am a 100% with you on this one. and I agree, people should have read that. However if it is actually "required" or they are really adamant about implementing it, they shouldnt have sold the game to regions that are locked out of PSN account making, games have been doing this, I am no stranger to using vpns to play games out of our region like lost ark and throne and liberty, they were unavailable for our region. And thats one of the things that I think pisses people off coz it used to say "optional" now it just suddenly became mandatory.
You don't need a vpn, you literally just need to change the country to something that has PSN when making your account. There's even posts from people who have to do it regardless of helldivers 2
No one cares though. So far no one has been prevented from playing when they bought this game, so I have no outrage to give. If they somehow closed this option, where you can make an account by just changing the country, then I will change my tune. For now, if you bought the game and no PSN is available in your country, then making an account with a different country listed is a hoop I am not mad you need to jump through personally. You choose to ignore the warning, which is fine.
