Watching all of this blow up in the last couple of days has been entertaining on its own because it's refreshing to see people push back every now and again.
I was thinking of picking this game up at some point, but I'd rather see how all of this plays out. The overboard DRM already had me wary, and frankly if their going excuse for mandatory accounts is over "safety and security," then at the
very least it should be one or the other.
From the little bits that I had already seen, it seemed like the developers just wanted to make a fun game and didn't want any of this bullshit, but Sony had to pull a Sony at their expense.
The english pages are doing a Tarkov on the matter
There's an
archive link in there as well, which further proves how necessary it is to keep backups on what these corporations say.
Also scrolling through that place, they seem to have gone through the effort of
making translations for countries that don't support PSN:
The PSN TOS is a hell no for me. They up front tell you they will ban you for using vulgarity even just among your friends. Sony in particular has a long history of shady shit going back 30 years that I remember offhand, probably more.
Very true, it's good to remember how they were behind SecuRom and
installing rootkits way back when.
Now we have the more current situation where their Californification has taken hold, so in addition to having null data security, they're certainly not to be trusted in respect to anything where they can act as cyber-nannies in charge of your purchases.
