Are they adding a PSN Account requirement to a single player game again?
Should be illegal. It’s not, but it should be. Globally.
EU petitions to change the malicious gaming industry would be a good start because EU is a large gaming population.
This package can NOT be activated or purchased in the following countries

Based Valve.
Sony has been banned from feddit.org

Play Anywhere ™️
Except for countries where we don’t allow you to
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 given enough time.
Only if empress gives a shit or gets enough money. Last time I checked shes the only one crazy enough to attack Denuvo
If you’re unhappy about the lack of crackers worth a damn, you could always learn to do it yourself.
let me just get on that real quick 😂 I’m sure that the lack of people engaged in it doesn’t mean it’s hard or anything.
man if only it was that easy
Nothing in life is easy.
Have you ever considered public speaking?
If you have, don’t.
What an idiotic statement.
So you realize how complicated Denuvo is? Only one person in the entire WORLD currently can crack it.
Don’t worry, more people are on it than just Empress. You don’t have to lash out just because you don’t know how to find them. I will save you the trouble of reading my future comments.
Right back at you
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.)

I still don’t understand how blocking individual EU countries conforms to the EU single market.
It doesn’t
Who is going to report them?
Probably nobody 🫤
I mean I hoped someone would.
How do I report them
You can try sg-plaintes@ec.europa.eu (no idea if this email still works) or their website contact form but this is usually for breaches of EU laws by member states. https://ec.europa.eu/law/application-eu-law/report-breach/en/check-your-criteria
Those poor two or three guy in Antarctica…
RIP the penguins.
Some poor antarctic scientist is gonna be fucking pissed.
Also Sony DOES NOT realize how much of their customer base are penguins living on remote islands… who have been getting slammed with sanctions on penguin tux imports from Italy and now this?!
Nothing to see here, just Sony doing Sony things. Money burning a hole in your pocket? Go grab a handful of indie games.
“Cross region trading and gifting is disabled for this item.”
Sorry Pope Leo, no game for you!
Why?
Likely PSN requirements. Same thing happened with Helldivers until Sony reversed the decision.
Helldivers is still blocked for those countries. They just dropped the PSN requirement.
That’s Sony telling the customers they kicked to the curb that it wasn’t because of the PSN thing.
It was personal.
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.
They are countries that do not have PSN access. As Sony wants to make PSN accounts mandatory on PC, they got in hot water for selling their games in countries where you can’t legally even have a PSN account.
In response, they blocked sales in all those countries.
