Did they say “Immersive”? I think this might be the closest they’ve come acknowledging their VR headset in years!

Well, I suppose you could call a mountain rugged, but I wouldn’t say rugged is exclusively mountainous. I wanted to emphasize mountainous because I had an ESL student who was a pilot in training, and he had told me all about the dangers of mountains specifically.

笑、どうも。

My wife and I speak a lot of Japanese together, so a translation wasn’t necessary. I would be kind of surprised if it didn’t work.

Oh I got the milk then eagerly rushed home to tell her enthusiastically about what had happened. She was kind enough to humor me with some feigned interest amidst her daily exercise routine, and that was that.

I’m using an Italian server with no issue, but at one point it stopped letting me log in with my username & password until I made a fresh account by signing in with a service. I should see if my old username and password are working again, but if I lose it I don’t really care. Reddit karma is kind of pointless.

Not just rugged, but mountain terrain. Having to go high means thinner air and less lift. Coupled with the fog, I think they might have put themselves in quite a precarious situation.

N64 was my first home console. I’m so thrilled this is happening.

When one party gains a monetary advantage through their "incompetence" and keeps repeating such "incompetencies", then yes, you are a bootlicker.

Uhhh okay I guess I can’t win with a brain running that kind of logic.

Good day to you sir.

Man I’m so sick of people getting blinded by rage. Alright, if you’re just going to go in circles, I might as well repeat myself as well. Companies exist to make money. If they fuck over their customers, those customers leave. Others follow. Congrats. You lose money. Basic logic 101.

Again, I’m not a bootlicker. I just don’t automatically assume malice when something could more easily explained by incompetence.

Also, way to go ignoring what I said about rockstar and Ubisoft accounts. I guess Sony won’t let you unlink from a steam account based on what, how you feel?

You can’t just unlink your PlayStation account from your Steam account? I bought Red Dead online for Steam and rockstar wouldn’t let me log into my old rockstar account because the email account I had originally used years back when linking to PlayStation was an old one I had deleted since, and had no access to verify. They just told me to start over with a new rockstar account, unlink the old one from PlayStation, and link the new one to it. Same exact thing for a Ubisoft game I also bought on steam. What makes this different from that? Does steam not let you unlink accounts?

My rewards and rockstar status were boned, but nothing affected my save data.

Customer buys a bunch of games from the PS Store using a foreign account. Now let’s say your hypothetical plays through and Sony for some stupid reason decides to care where the customer actually lives, bans them, and removes access to their games. What does the customer do? Make a new account and buy more games from PS? Nope. They go buy from Steam.

You're absolutely right - the publisher of a game has zero income from any purchases.

Right… So anyway, I’m talking about where you buy a game from, not who makes it. On PC, your PSN account itself isn’t tied to your purchases, just PS services like trophy and friends lists, right? Exclusively PC players don’t actually have much to care about there, right? On PC, if your psn account gets removed, what’s stopping you from just making a new one?

It would take a special kind of stupid to think a customer would come back to buying from you if you did something like that, but sure. If your hypothetical situation were actually possible, a corporation would probably do it.

Besides, aren’t we talking about PC players who aren’t even buying from Sony?

Who said anything about earnings? What are you on about?

Not licking anybody’s boots here, just trying to point out that the issue wasn’t as bad as people love to make it out to be. Go make a psn account in another region. See if Sony actually cares.

Well I guess I’m f*cked, since I’ve been using a us account for 15 years and haven’t resided there in all that time. I suppose any day now my account gets banned because that’s how this works.

I see. It’s unfortunate because if those games stayed on those stores, people could make an account in foreign regions without issue. I didn’t need a vpn to make a Japanese psn in Europe, and Sony doesn’t care that I’m playing PS5 games online from my U.S. account in Europe as long as I’m buying my games and network subscription in US$. I haven’t set foot in the states in over 15 years. Sony support even helped me recover my account when my authentication app lost its data once. Just know which address you used, you’re birthday and stuff.

PC gamers wouldn’t even need to worry about buying their games in native currency or even the online subscription in the first place. Simply make the account and don’t be a dick to bring attention to yourself.

Either way, yeah. Piracy is the optimal option left to players in those regions.

Do we need to worry about GitHub shutting this down even though it’s not doing anything wrong?
