All of you playing on a pc already installed the insane rootkit of drm that it comes with, idk why any of you would complain about linking a sony account.

That drm is why I only got it on ps5, at least there its not on my pc.

It's not just about security. It's also about half of the countries in the world not being able to have a PSN account. Anyone in those countries who bought the game can no longer play the game they bought. I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't otherwise care about the DRM who are going to be locked out of their game.

Serious question, but why can't they have an account? Is it blocked or something?

[–] Adm_Drummer 8 points 6 months ago

PSN does not provide service in those countries.

Half the countries in the world: Russia and probably Philippines.

You speak so high and might as if its incomprehensible that someone might enjoy this on say, a Steam Deck? Where that risk is significantly mitigated. It was entirely optional to have Sony at the start, its unacceptable that has changed.

Especially if you're one of the people complaining about the PSN data breaches... My brother in christ you're cool with having malware by definition from an insanely shady korean company on your computer.

that ps plus subscription where I'm from is too hard to swallow with the fx rate now heading to the 60:1 lvl

Because they understand "subscription", but not " rootkit" or "drm"

Does installing it on Linux not negate this problem significantly?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

It reduces the risk significantly, but does not negate it completely
