The UK has this

https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/support/account/age-verification-faq/

Which is pretty lol

There are other EU concerns

But sony, according to helldiver devs, are saying that sony can't ban people without signing up for PSN. That is their reason.

Their actual reason is that they don't know how to ban someone on steam except via name. As in, they don't understand steam API at all.

And they want you on their system for money

They also had a FAQ where they said this was never gonna be required

they even hosed up gaming there, its kinda impressive how driven to make knife crime terf island worse they are lol.

I think its good when companies face consequences for stupid choices, regardless of the impact of those choices. More things should randomly be burned to the ground for petty reasons to keep people honest. Make me spend two minutes to make a fake email and roll my face across the keys to make some fake personal data? Front page scandal, loss of revenue, closing of a studio, maybe punch a few people in a riot if you're feeling rowdy. Companies should be in a constant state of terror over being devoured by their customers over any misstep.

lotta cool zone style video games posting about this whole thing

Yea MGS2 is an all-timer. From a gameplay perspective it's the pinnacle of classic Metal Gear stealth gameplay, the kind of stealth that is based on clear lines of sight, timing, and mastery of simple geometric level designs. There was nowhere to take the formula after that, which is why they started experimenting with mechanics like camouflage and evolved into something else. There's a reason you never got VR missions again after 2, you couldn't refine the more simulationist aspects of the later games down into clean geometric boards, and that's a strength of 2 not a weakness. And the story? Take it's contemporary, Deus Ex, and make it even cooler and it's politics even better somehow and you've got MGS2.

couldn't have put it better. it really is the best one as time goes on. it's like an album ahead of it's time

speaking of that, so was the original Nier, which i actually experienced through an awesome LP here. the OST is loving beautiful and the writing unparalleled and it was so slept on.
