    This games sucks anyway. If it's blocked in your country, go play Bayonetta.

    It’s absolutely fine to put your pirate hat on when they do this kind of thing.

      Absolutely. It’s not like the person can even support the studio, it’s blocked in their country.

      Denuvo

        No DRM exists which can’t be circumvented one way or another.

        Denuvo

        … is expensive. And a subscription service.

        Which means there’s an incentive for studios to remove it as soon as new sales aren’t bringing enough money for its cost to be worth it.

        That’s when you want to pirate (or buy, if you’re into that kind of shit) the game. With the added benefit that it’s unlikely that the studio will come up with more updates or DLC, and if the game is at all moddable it’ll probably have a mature community patch that’ll fix everything the studio was unwilling or unable to patch. (Also, I’m not sure how denuvo cracking works, but I doubt it removes all of that shit, so a game with it properly removed will probably run better than a cracked one, even if the cracked one still ran better than the original infected version.)

    Are they adding a PSN Account requirement to a single player game again?

    Should be illegal. It’s not, but it should be. Globally.

      Worse. Denuvo.

    • DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      EU petitions to change the malicious gaming industry would be a good start because EU is a large gaming population.

      source
      • RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        It may be large but EU is certainly not the largest.

        This is something I think even the Chinese government would want to ban.

    I still don’t understand how blocking individual EU countries conforms to the EU single market.

    It will also have Denuvo, 70€, and it is the in top selling games on Steam right now. Well, that happens when gaming becomes mainstream i guess…

    • echodot@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Does that mean it can’t run on the steam deck then?

      source
      • nuko147@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Steam Deck compatibility is uknown atm. But the new Doom has also Denuvo and it is available on Steam Deck.

      Also Sony DOES NOT realize how many of their customer base are penguins living on remote islands, they have been getting slammed with sanctions on penguin tux imports from Italy and now this?!

    Why?

    source
    • slazer2au@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Likely PSN requirements. Same thing happened with Helldivers until Sony reversed the decision.

      source
      • MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Helldivers is still blocked for those countries. They just dropped the PSN requirement.

        Could you elaborate a little more? Like do those countries not allow subscription services or something?

        Only reason i can think of with my rational, non-global-economic brain is that it’s got too much gory/sexual/political/whatever content that isn’t worth the effort censoring.

    “Cross region trading and gifting is disabled for this item.”

    Sorry Pope Leo, no game for you!

    Nothing to see here, just Sony doing Sony things. Money burning a hole in your pocket? Go grab a handful of indie games.

    source
  • REDACTED@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    What’s bizzare to me is that the game is banned in Lithuania, but not in Latvia. The two countries are like twins.

      It’s fine, I wasn’t going to buy it anyway.

    Sony being retarded again. It much be a day who ends with a y.

    Honestly why even bother?

    It looks like shit.
