I haven't played any Sony game on steam, because I am waiting until I can build new PC, hopefully by the end of the year. I was planning to buy them, but not anymore. Instead I will get fit in the gym.

Pretty sure it's not allowed to limit the sale of digital goods between EU countries. It's either limited too all or none.

This is how you encourage piracy. Just let capitalists be capitalists.

How would someone go about getting a whole ass game? I've never done it.

forget about gaming, start working out, there's this really great guru I recommend called fitgirl who will really help you repack that six pack.

In case it's not obvious to anyone reading, fitgirl is not a working out guru, and don't Google her directly, her site has 50 bajillion copycats with malware. Go to your neighborhood's friendly piracy community, and look for her in the guides.

Out of the loop, but still curious... Is this due to the PSN login stuff?

Geoblocking shouldn't be a thing, unless it's for a good reason like sanctions. It's called the Internet (International Network) for a reason. If Coca Cola can operate in nearly every country, why can't Sony?

I'm pretty sure internet means internetwork, as in between networks. There's also intranets, which are limited access web networks.

You are right that geoblocking really shouldn't be a thing, it's existence is thanks to varying laws and regulations, and most annoyingly, IP distribution contracts.

Yes you're right. I'm one of the operators of network AS559 and we have loads of interconnections to other networks, a supermajority of those is within our small nation. The international ones do make for a lot of traffic though :-)

All the ones who were talking about switching their review to positive

The existing players in those countries can still play though, that was what I reviewed for and is why I reversed it. But if Sony wants to keep fucking around then we'll have to see

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Existing players... So, fuck you I've got mine, is that it?

Also, why do you think they don't want to make the game purchasable from these countries again now that PSN isn't an issue anymore? And why are they taking Ghost of Tsushima off the store for the same countries? It's clearly not because they're just waiting to require PSN at a later date, right? Maybe they're just waiting for the number of players to go down enough that they don't fear the impact or for enough time to pass that they won't lose money from people from these countries asking for a refund, right?
