Nice, it's already banned where I live. Can't wait to pirate it.

It costs them money to include, so they'll take it out eventually

Guess I'll wait it out, as usual.

It being a huge game everyone wants to play. %100 will get cracked within a month.

Is it announced to have it? Don't see anything on the Steam store page, games with Denuvo generally have a little warning there

4thDimensionDuck@programming.dev · 1 pts · 2y

hopefully not. the PSN debaucle is a bit suspect though. Sony's being a big douche lately.

I think soon they will require a psn account for all their upcoming games

hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works · 17 pts · 2y

Safe bet.

It's definitely an anti piracy measure. Which sucks complete fucking ass

Edit: it's multiplayer only

Cheems@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

There will definitely be a way around this easily for pirates. They may believe that if will stop piracy but it's really just going to be anti consumer

I already have a Steam account, I'm not giving yet another company my details and login data just to play a game on a platform I already have an account for. Nope.

So you're gonna buy it from the PlayStation store and play it on PS5?

What’s the point of region restricting PSN accounts?

cottonmon@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It's kind of weird too since they sell PS5s in regions where PSN isn't officially supported.

Except getting more user information, I don’t really see the big advantage for Sony so it’d be interesting to know why they want to require a PSN account in countries where you can’t get one.

Also I’d want to know why you can’t get one in some countries.
