      Brooooo this victory is an absolute game-changer for us die-hard Xbox fans, and it’s downright exhilarating! Sony’s constant blunders pale in comparison to the countless triumphs of team Xbox, and this might just be the knockout blow that finally converts those Lamestationers to our side. Brace yourselves for an epic shift as the unrivaled supremacy of our console dazzles and dominates, pulling every gamer into its unstoppable vortex of pure excitement and adrenaline-fueled gaming bliss!👊👊

        I’d love to shut up and play Starship Troopers: The Game. But unfortunately, I don’t have a PS5 or gaming PC. Still holding out hope that this will come to Xbox one day.

      I was one of them to begin with but once I found out about the whole thing with people of certain countries not able to have an account even though they had already bought the game and were even previously able to play are now locked out, then I was on board.

      I’m not against just making accounts, I must have thousands across the internet, what would be one more if I hadn’t already had a PSN account.

        Wouldn’t it be nice to not have your info spread across thosands of accounts that you yourself even implied you don’t keep track of?

        What sony pulled, and coporate moves like it, are at least in part a result of people saying “meh, what’s one more account, I’ve already got thousands.”

        We as a community aren’t an immaculate entity. Companies don’t just make these moves out of nowhere, they analyze what we’re willing to do so they can take advantage of those things to make money. That’s not some sleazy secret scheme, thats basic market research. If we collectively show we do actually care about this stuff and won’t supoort their business when they do it, it might not happen so often.

    “We’re still learning what is best for PC players”

    Well PlayStation staff member, it definitely isn’t having people create another account when they already have a Steam account.

        How much less bullshit PC players are willing to put up with compared to their console counterparts, apparently.

          Uhhhh, people install shit like Vanguard just so that they can keep having their mother insulted in the ingame chat.

          And many people put up with cascades of different lauchers (and accounts).

          So I am glad that there was some push back this time, but it’s not like there would be some sane baseline of PC players in that regard.

            Imagine doing this for all kinds of stuff like ads, over priced groceries, other games that required needless launchers.

            Just surprising how this works so often and every time there are still people trying to convince everyone to just move on.

              If people were capable of choosing long over short term value then the market might be working instead of the shitshow it is right now. IDGI either.

            It’s almost as if cheaters ruin hyper competitive games like Valorant. How dare they try to keep the game free from cheaters. The nerve!

              Honestly I’d rather have a cheater in my lobby than Riot Games deep into the sections of my PC they should never have accessed.

              With that said, I do not play Valorant for this reason (and also because it would require me to dualboot since Vanguard cannot be ported on Linux, lol)

      Honestly I’m keeping my negative review permanent. The game is great and I enjoy it, but besides a temporary back lash I want the sting to stick around to hopefully teach companies about fucking around and finding out.

        They won’t learn anything. They only nulled their bullshit because it would hurt their financial quarter because their biggest cash cow game at the moment is bombing. They only way to maybe make them learn would be if every single one of the “outraged gamers” would just uninstall and never play it again, but that won’t happen and Sony knows that (which is why they can try pulling that shit in the first place).

        Good for the peeps in non-PSN countries tho. For them, this is a real win.

          Maybe he’ll be teaching them that trying to force enshittification on people in the first place has repercussions.
