I’d love to shut up and play Starship Troopers: The Game. But unfortunately, I don’t have a PS5 or gaming PC. Still holding out hope that this will come to Xbox one day.
Actually Halo Infinite might come out on ps5. Microsoft is publishing a lot of their games to Playstation atm. Sea of Thieves, Hi-fi rush, Grounded, Pentiment are all out on ps5.
Sea of Thieves was one of the big xbox exclusive games, developed by Rare, which is owned by Microsoft since 2002 and all the games they have made in the last 15+ years have been xbox exclusive.
I was one of them to begin with but once I found out about the whole thing with people of certain countries not able to have an account even though they had already bought the game and were even previously able to play are now locked out, then I was on board.
I’m not against just making accounts, I must have thousands across the internet, what would be one more if I hadn’t already had a PSN account.
But the game isn’t even available on PlayStation so why am I creating an account? At the very least it’s pointless busy work. And apparently not even well thought out.
Using a password manager would avoid this. Everyone should ideally use unique passwords per service, that way a single account can’t compromise the others.
The loss of personal data however is fricking annoying. If a company has no legitimate reason, I avoid signing up to them.
@NocturnalEngineer@Isoprenoid i was so infuriated back when nvidia demanded an account for shadowplay. I thought id lose access to the encoder thingy. So glad that it can be used by other software too. Uninstalled the shadowplay/gf experience stuff and never looked back
Wouldn’t it be nice to not have your info spread across thosands of accounts that you yourself even implied you don’t keep track of?
What sony pulled, and coporate moves like it, are at least in part a result of people saying “meh, what’s one more account, I’ve already got thousands.”
We as a community aren’t an immaculate entity. Companies don’t just make these moves out of nowhere, they analyze what we’re willing to do so they can take advantage of those things to make money. That’s not some sleazy secret scheme, thats basic market research. If we collectively show we do actually care about this stuff and won’t supoort their business when they do it, it might not happen so often.

Where are the: “just make an account bro” people now? Probably pre ordering skyrim the definite edition
I’d imagine some of them are here:

It has as much chance has Halo Infinite coming to PS5.

Nah there’s a bigger chance of Halo coming to PS5 if MS recent moves are anything to go by.
And here
I don’t think politely asking people to change their review so that it reflects reality is a “karen” move.
Just pointing out that the “Just make an account, AH doesn’t deserve that” people are on Lemmy as well
But no one in your screenshot is saying that?
They’ve the same kind of reactions though, get abused and say you’re sorry.
I don’t see them telling anyone to “say you’re sorry” either?
Changing your review to positive is exactly that
Playing sims
Demanding we apologize for the negative reviews now that Sony has reverted the change, if the discord server is anything to go by
Probably just playing the game.

It’s on PS5, what you on about
Not sure where you are getting your info from. I play on PS5.
Isn’t it available on PS5?
One more attack vector to gain access to all your other accounts across the internet.

Looking at you Nvidia, Razar, etc…
