Unless you're in a country where the PSN isn't available, literally just make a burner PSN account. The game is fantastic and I think most of us would agree that you'll get many hours of fun out of it for a couple of minutes of faffing about with PSN.

This whole thing has been funny to me cause I linked my account day one and forgot I even was asked to until this whole thing happened.

Anyway I'm really curious what the next major order is gonna be considering there's still a planet sitting there covered top to bottom in bug steroid clouds.

STE loving owns, I hadn't heard about the updates, I'll probably reinstall too. It's so chaotic, it captures the film perfectly imo

STE does own. It could use a heavy dose of the film's satire like HD 2. I love some of the Frankenstein-bases randos build. "This is what we're going with? Well alright."

just play it, it's really good imo

I probably will tbh. First few matches were rough with teammates grappling with my new rear end trying to learn on the fly while everyone else were well oiled democracy machines. I'm just laughing at myself for buying the "Super Citizen" version immediately before this because lol! As far as Sony knows I'm the Korben Dallas.

I literally just bought it before this poo poo show. I'm still in the refund window and actually considering it. I really liked how heavily the writing leans into the silliness of "managed democracy." How funny that life imitates art.

the game is genuinely incredible and you should play the hell out of it. do not fall into the trap of being swayed by mouthbreathing redditors who unironically compare protesting PSN linking to the struggles of Rosa Parks

Yeah just play. The next few story beats should be fun, and the Illuminate faction should be that far off an appearance.

Big achievement of this game is how it ties its own lore into player choices. DRG does this well too but thats largely restricted to the hub, this one is fun in that even teamkilling is basically part of its aesthetic package.

Sony is the best we got. Under Sony's competent leadership good cultural products are made. Imagine what it would be liked if we lived in a Managed Microsoft Democracy :barf: . Would you rather be playing Redfall right now. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good ya'll.

Microsoft bought out Chris Roberts and fired him so they could release Freelancer only three years late instead of never so it's impossible to say if they're bad or not

It is perfectly fine to either think this is no big deal (though I think that's disingenuous considering how many countries are being excluded) or to think it is a big deal, but please stop trying to score points off each other about it. Not aimed at anyone in particular. Thank you.

He's honestly been a solid line of communication since launch, I've had him followed for a while actually. Him saying "I don't know" isn't him bad at the job, it's the CEO of Arrowhead saying it's not his decision in the least corpo-polite speak possible.

Oh drat they knew for six months before launch that it'd be necessary but didn't alert players in those countries that they were merely renting. This is genuinely hilarious, what a dumb sequence of events, why is everything so stupid
