There? Really? There is where you draw the line? Killing a dog is fine, but lying about meeting a dictator is too far? Just trying to keep track here.

Rolled Japanese style, aka tamagoyaki. That is really difficult.

Over easy is as easy as the name though.

Screw it, go make the actual Starship Troopers game not suck. That thing is in dire need of help.

While 177 countries sounds like a lot, it's not where the majority of players are. PSN operates in the top 15 countries by GDP and the top 4 by population.

Of course there's still the question of why they work in so few countries when literally none of their competitors (that I know of) have those limitations.

Could be a mix of the two, like Valve saying "look if you continue on with this plan we're going to issue blanket refunds to anyone in a non-PSN country" and Sony realizing they're putting their asses on the line (legally speaking) if they let sales in those countries continue.

The scuttlebutt is that they don't get to make that decision because the PSN mandate is a part of the contract they signed with Sony.

Let 'em frown. You have Cinnamon Toast Vodka now.

Zero. Every time I've been on the verge of blocking a community (or instance, since kbin can do that) it winds up vanishing anyway.

Most anticheats don't have the track record of repeated data breaches that Sony does.

Same boat here. I had no problems making a PSN account because I like the idea of crossplay, but if they were planning to add this requirement back in later they needed to be much more clear about it. Like "gigantic popup every time you load the game if you don't have a PSN account" clear, especially with PSN not being available in certain countries.

There's also the larger question of why this is required. Clearly the game works just fine without it. Whatever the reason is, it's not for the benefit of the players.

I'm actually really surprised that Valve is loosening up on this one. They usually play hardball when it comes to refunding a game past the 2 hour mark.

They make exceptions when a game has major issues or implements some significant change that dramatically alters the availability of the product. No Man's Sky, Starfield, and Cyberpunk 2077 all could be refunded outside the 2 hour window - at least for some people. And of course everyone who bought The Day Before was refunded entirely.

I expect they'll be allowing refunds for anyone in a country where PSN does not operate at a minimum. It's really hard to argue that the game is still playable when the required service is not available in your home country.

Local safety regulations require a breathalyzer test before you're allowed upstairs.
