What an excellent way to convince aging gamers to just never buy from Sony again.

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 minutes ago

Good. Fuck everyone and everything.

Huh. That's actually a little disappointing. I have a couple of exclusives on there that I would prefer not to lose. But I also no longer own any modern PlayStation consoles, nor am I likely to in the future. So trying to decide if this is going to be the thing that makes me leave Sony for good, or if I should just make a little effort to login from time to time.

I can't use my account anyway since they're insisting that I used an authenticator app for account verification when I absolutely did NOT, and they won't give me access to my shit now.

Time to take your ps5 offline. Obligatory fuck Sony

My decade old Sony boycott looks more & more prescient every week.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 46 minutes ago

I should've listened to the haters. I got way too leveraged into Sony's ecosystem and so now I suffer.

The good is I still have enough PC games that I actually own (well, control) to last me for years and years and years.

i bought portal2 when it came out on ps3.... it also let me set up a steam account through my ps3, because that was going to be the next big thing (this was before ps+ and multiplayer was still free)

12 years later i got a PC, i downloaded steam.... and when i logged in, there was portal2 waiting for me to download it.

sony can go fuck themselves

Did you actually play Portal 2? And what did you think of it?

[–] Nidandelsa@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Not the original commenter, but I really enjoyed it. A little bit longer than Portal with some real gems in the dialog. I would say if you enjoyed the first one, then play the second. I did not do any of the couch-co-op stuff, just the main story, so I have no idea if it’s decent.

[–] Rubanski@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 30 minutes ago

Coop is decent, especially when you're messing with your partner

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

"How do we squander 3 decades of consumer goodwill in a week and a half?" Seriously wtf are you doing Sony

[–] TwodogsFighting 2 points 20 minutes ago

'We need to replicate the success of Betamax and minidisc, immediately' - exec that was never told.

[–] QuadratureSurfer@piefed.social 1 points 3 hours ago

The condition doesn't appear in some countries, but that doesn't mean that they won't eventually expand it:

Notably, the clause is conspicuously absent from terms governing Mexico, the United States, and several other regions, meaning players there are not currently subject to the policy. By contrast, the provision has been enforceable in the United Kingdom and various European countries for years, though it largely escaped public notice until the recent physical-format debate brought renewed scrutiny to Sony’s digital practices.

As per another comment, I didn't know Gmail can delete an account after 2 years of inactivity. Proton mail is only 12 months on the free plan. With so many things being related to email I feel like I should have a more robust system.
