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. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Helldivers is a completely different scenario. I'm talking about God of war and ghosts of tsushima and any other game that gets ported over with the requirement from day 1. Helldivers was a screw up, the other games aren't, and frankly it's absolutely ridiculous anyone is complaining about it when you have to make accounts for damn near every fucking publisher. How is this different other than the region issues? I'll give you a hint, it's not. Pretty sure at this point anyone downvoting me right now is just pissed I'm calling their stupidity out.

you might make accounts for every publisher, but not all of us do.

What do you mean? You have to for Ubisoft, ea, and Activision, I'd love to know how you're bypassing this but honestly it's just not worth my time.

Pretty simple. I don't play games from those companies

So you're complaining over nothing because you don't play games that require accounts.

I'm not complaining. You made the assertion All gamers are already making accounts outside of steam, I provided you a counter example saying gamers don't necessarily have to make those accounts.

So for the population of gamers who don't make a bajillion accounts with all of the proprietary networks, and just have steam accounts, they can remain steadfast and not make PlayStation Network accounts. There's nothing particularly compelling about any single game. You can decide how you spend your time and money, and what behavior you want to incentivize. The choice is yours. But you are not powerless
