This is affecting many PC gamers around the world, such as myself, as the last 3 PlayStation releases on Steam have been blocked in many countries. I wanna know what’s your take on this. Please be respectful, and thank you. 😊

    I honestly could give a shit. You think games don’t report telematics internally back to devs? Who share them with publishers anyways?

    Valve has so much telematicd data on you it’s insane. Same with other companies. Sony just isn’t good at burying the lead.

    At the end of the day it’s the same as a GOG Account, an Epic Login, or a Ubisoft Account. They all exist and we lost this fight when we allowed giant super publishers to merge and control distribution, and when no alternative to steam has ever got off the ground.

    Say what you will about Epic, but it is by f as R the closest anything is to breaking Valve’s iron grip, and it’s still a distant second place also ran.

    So yea, Sony requires a login. I wish they didn’t, but literally everything does besides GOG. They all use Denuvo and DRM and lock the exe to the client. Sony doing it to run their leaderboards at least makes some sense.
