    Can’t you make a free PSN account from any country? I know people in countries with no PSN using US PSN account, without any VPN or anything. You just set your country to US, or UK.

      There are probably workarounds sure, but they shouldn’t be the default. Keep up the pressure on these suits so they know what their stupid decisions cause

        Workarounds get banned. So PSN gets to keep your money but also denies you the product that you bought.

    They devs say the knew of the requirement from Sony and it was also part of the store requirement since it was listed, so why would they list it for sale in those countries? It seems Steam should have some limitation in place on their end, and the Dev picks sales on Steam, not the publisher.

    Theres shit to go to everyone here, not just Sony in this case. And no one seems to want to accept personal responsibility for not reading the game requirements and ignoring the splash screen when you first loaded the game. Everyone who bought and missed all the warning flags should also take a look back at themselves before complaining about something that was always going to be required and was at the very start at launch.

      I never even had the option to skip linking accounts. Granted I bought the game within the first few weeks of release.

        The option to skip was there 20 minutes after launch until now.

        It said required in the popup, but still had a skip button with no consequences.

    This statement reminds me awfully of the Living World Season 4 Story in Guild Wars 2.

    And yes, before people become angry about this comparison: I said “reminds me”, not “the same as” or anything else.

    Explanation (hard spoiler!):

    spoiler

    In essence, you do everything you can, unite different people for the fight that determines the fate of the world. But… you lose and that was the only chance. You barely survive with your friends; but not all.

    https://youtu.be/jk5nfHxyQno?t=7220

    The Commander (you) are asked what to do (because you always had some kind of answers; a plan; every time). But since this was the only hope, you say “I don’t know.”

      That line hit hard when I played it. It’s rare to see protagonists acknowledge being at the end of their wits and have no clue what to do in face of impending doom.

        It really did hit hard.

        At least for me I could get into the next story part after I was like “wtf just happened” but for players at the time of release this was the latest part of the story and they were stuck with this awful last line for week(s).
