Honestly I’m more annoyed by the rootkit “anti-cheat” the game uses, than this Sony action. It’s easy enough to make a burner email account for Sony, and for better or worse, I’m not in one of the countries impacted.
They DEFINITELY need to refund all players that are from newly blocked countries - anything short of a full refund is unacceptable, but it’s not like people have cared that PSN is unavailable in Nigeria before this point.
All that said, I love seeing the community putting Sony’s feet on the fire for implementing even mildly anti-consumer BS. I just wish the outrage was more consistent
another one big thing is those of us who care just straight up don’t buy the game, and without buying the game we can’t leave a negative review, and we moved on and not talked about it anymore.
What happened here is affecting people who have spent money on this game, who can leave review and actually cannot just walk away without having your spent money thrown into the void.
Yeah I was actually baffled by the lack of backlash for that, as that was much worse than the PSN account requirement issue, at least data/privacy wise.
Curious about the burner account. Seen a few people mention it.
What happens when Sony has yet another breach, and forces people to change passwords, or you type the wrong shit and get locked out.
You have no access to the game anymore because of burner account. Thinking yet another login being forced isn’t an issue because burner account is probably worse then just not buying shit that forces accounts.

Some countries require an ID verification
With face scans! What the hell Sony?!

For this specific scenario? Pretty sure you can just unlink through steam and link to a new account, but honestly that’s a future me problem :D
ETA: You can use a forwarding service like SimpleLogin or duck.com
Good to know should I have to resort to it. Thx
