This sounds awesome. I hope to be backgrounding it some day.

You’re unfortunately correct

What a fine use of tax dollars. The pedophiles are fine, but gotta get those content pirates.

Partly depends on the service you’re using, but short version is use the closest connection you can that isn’t in the EU.

It’s not like they don’t have the authority…

The old lessons. The value of a dollar (or local equivalent, obviously). Don’t “buy” unless you’re getting something that can’t be taken away, that’s called renting. That you, even as a individual, have power of the ‘contract’, you want the product, but they want your money, so don’t let them convince you your money is worth less. One important one from the Noah post: Make sure you have a way of getting at least some of your money back. Cockstar are doing everything they can to ensure they have full control of the market. Increased prices, no second-hand options. That spells a world where games stop going on sale too. The idiot who buys this con makes that potential one step closer to reality.

Oh, and one of the most important lessons; don’t shill for an entity that wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire. These people who’re making up excuses for Rockstar making these anti-consumer decisions are only fighting against their own interests and clearly never received the much-needed slap up side the head they should have had long ago. What they chucklefucks are doing is a direct equivalent to a bit in Scrubs where the joke is a character is so nice he’d likely show you how to strangle him if you were doing it poorly and the cut-away shows him mentoring on how best to strangle him and cheering on the wannabe killer. Corpo loyalists, this is you, you’re the idiots telling them how to best strangle you.

I agree. People are nowhere near mad enough about companies doing everything they can to screw over the customer. At least have the backbone to demand lube, damnit.

Sounds like parents are shit in multiple ways then.

*Play Only Has One Limit: Corpo Bullshit

Very fair. I’m not a Soulslike player by any real capacity, but I really feel for the Bloodborne fans who’ve been patiently waiting all this time and had their faithfulness spat back in their faces.

And Sony and all of the others will get used to insolvency

Any time I see this “I don’t understand what the problem is” what I hear is “I’m incapable of putting myself in the minds of others”.

Some of us don’t even get to play Yotei since Sony decided they’re going to speedrun being a bunch of twats.

Happy Birthday, Lou! Make sure they give you plenty of treats!

Freaking knew it wouldn’t be long before they tried their ring of theft again.

Sweeney’s not a fan of informed purchase practices. Good to know, Tim, I’ll make sure to not float any cash your way.

I accept this fate

The ones that used to exist, at least. I don’t see too many private individuals joining up now.

I think it’s more that they’re implying the company is likely to get worse in the future and start trying shit, not what they’ve already experienced. The price now being nearly 10x what it once was is a pretty big red flag, after all.

I’d highly suggest watching the many clips available online on Ross Scott’s channel, the SKG channel and whatever clips have been passed around. You’re very much misinformed, seemingly only listening to the corpo side. SKG isn’t dead nor asked for support in perpetuity. These are lies being pushed by the corpos who care for nothing but having the full comtents of your wallet and have been lying to the EU Commission repeatedly in an alarming number of private meetings that has forced SKG to answer the same four questions for over a year. The only thing this whole debacle has given us so far is prove how corrupt the Commission is. SKG is now working with the EU Parliament, who is majority on-side and several members of which have openly stated their disappointment in the Commission being so blatant, but also not surprised, just like anyone else who’s been paying attention.

Only downside to the crack is it’s behind on updates, unlike the HV version. I’m not dissing it, just letting people know.
