Every time I hear the argument you get what you pay for with apple, I’m curious if this fucking thing does your taxes and makes you coffee too.

Ahhh, good find! Yea that’s the bait and switch then. I mean I guess I’m callous to publishers requiring accounts within their ecosystem but at least be upfront about it. That’s just dirty.

Ahh, makes sense. More of an anger towards the bait and switch then. I figured this would be the most severe, especially for H2 fans who had already been playing for weeks! Additionally, seems crazy for GoT to have it considering the vast majority is single player.

I wasn’t aware you needed a console to create a PSN account in some places, that’s nuts.

I’m curious if Sony had properly advertised their account creation requirement much earlier on if people would’ve accepted. (At least for multiplayer games) I’m some regards, maybe it’s better they didn’t so gamers could bring this to the forefront more often with publishers in the future.

Appreciate the response!

Gotcha, I had read 118 countries last night but I get that it’s a huge amount.

For comparison I found these today:

Epic games is basically available everywhere but Iraq and north Korea

Xbox supported countries seemed to be about 100ish but I think I’ve heard maybe their ToS wasn’t as restrictive.

Nintendo only appears to support a handful of countries for their online accounts but obviously they aren’t selling to PC gamers.

I figured amount of countries was a big factor. I’m one of those oblivious selfish bastards who has the accounts for everything above and doesn’t have issues so I was curious for those who cannot. Appreciate your response!

This may be a dumb question and I’m truly not trying to start fanboy nonsense but can anyone explain why this recent push by Sony is different than having to have an Xbox account for Halo MCC or Epic Games account for something like It Takes Two? Is it those are available in more countries? I’m on board with the hate of this type of crap and Sony deserves it but just curious why these last two releases are different than previous publishers and multi account requirements?

After all, you and me baby? Ain’t nothin’ but mammals.

And working eyes and common sense

Think of what this will do to the ottomans! Won’t someone think of the ottomans!?

Today is the last day a company has to file and send w2’s so most folks should actually have them by now or very very soon.

Mathematically speaking, they should be converted to lemonade.
