There should be an option for steam refunds called "bait and switch".

Sony published the game and bailed them out when servers went down in February. Still absolutely blows that players in certain regions will be completely unable to play.

Since mainstream gaming is the new Facebook/Google data sucker, why do people keep buying that garbage?

That’s the point. There are plenty of other great games that Sony doesn’t control, though. How often do people need to get burned before they learn?

Edit: giant typos

This was a bait and switch. There was no obvious information that I would be required to make a PSN account when I started playing over a month ago.

Was it?

Is it really out of left field when they have you install a rootkit for a game that isn't competitive?

Idk, maybe I'm just cynical, but bad business decisions are bad business decisions. I'm not surprised by this in the least.

Kernel level anti-cheat while I detest it is common. And it's only common because people cheat. If 30% of gamers as a whole weren't cheating in PVP games then we wouldn't be seeing such stupid enforcement attempts in PVE games

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will simply never accept that a PvE game needs anticheat. The concept is silly.

This is just bad decision making.

As somebody who has administrated PVE PVP and PVPVE game servers, I will unfortunately have to laugh at your uninformed opinion. People are shitty and will cause conflict and grief for the smallest reasons. I do not agree with the implementation of such obtuse software to prevent this in a PVE game. I am merely stating the reason it's happening. Personally, we would be much better off of a robust report system. It could have even been done so well in lore. ". Due to fellow citizens report of your undemocratic and unpatriotic behavior, you have been assigned to a suicide squad where you will only be interacting with other degenerates of your nature."

Because it was a genuinely good game to play with friends. But the party is over now

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Nope fuck that. Fuck Sony. Not buying it.
