Sony FORCED to do MASS REFUNDS?! Rough week for PlayStation...

Follow me on social media:

While Helldivers 2 fans celebrated the reversal of Sony’s decision to require a PSN account to play the game on PC moving forward, this saga is far from over, and Sony continues to lurch forward with this plan in other ways.

In the wake of the fact that Helldivers 2 players in 177 regions still cannot purchase the game, even after the PSN reversal, now, players are finding they cannot buy Ghost of Tsushima’s upcoming PC release, and Steam is actually refunding early purchases of the game due to Sony’s PSN requirement which again, is impossible in those regions where you cannot make such an account.

Sony has not officially commented on this, but it’s clear nothing about this is an error. The idea was that Sony was going to require PSN accounts for its online games going forward, but in this case, there was the idea that since only one portion of Tsushima, an optional multiplayer mode, was online, that the single player game could still be played. That is apparently not the case. Here’s the message Steam users are receiving alongside their refunds

Man the whole industry is just crumbling because of the top heads

That proves that your DATA is more worth for SONY then selling the game. They rather not sell the game then not get your DATA.

Sony is just getting ready to eventually make PC players to pay for PS+

[songohan]

This is a special kind of stupid. To make the same mistake not once, but twice in less than a year.

I was surprised to see Japan on the banned country list?

[AbimaelTurcios]

What the hell is Sony and Microsoft doing nowadays with modern gaming.

[theatlastech]

I KNEW this was only about PS+. Imagine having to pay a company to play online in 2024.

This is the biggest anti consumer move ever pulled in video game history. Not surprised Sony would do this because they’re very anti consumer.

[mattmanley]

Sony and Microsoft/ Xbox are really competing for the who’s the worst corporation trophy huh?😅

[kryptongamer]

Sonys stocks are tanking. There is something happening where the consumer is moving the needle on these greedy companies.

I could've swore that Sucker Punch came out not that long ago and said psn was required only for the multi player. That it wasn't needed for the single player. Or did i miss quote them?

[joshuajefferson]

Pirate and emulate everything gives these companies the finger. 🤨

[fpvpilot]

They made me mad long ago and I sold all of my PlayStations. Gave them another chance with Stellar blade and look what they did with it. They don’t seem to care about gamers at all. I will be selling the ps5 soon if the censorship is not removed. I will never be back but rather will game on pc after that. My Ps plus is already cancelled. Pc gamers will never be pushed around like they do console gamers who have no choices. We can do without Sony on Steam no problem. There will never be a ps5 account tied to my Steam account. I have a lifetime of games already on Steam. They run far better than ps5 versions.

[DevicCypher]

No there is no ff tactics remake or remaster at all. The games creator said so awhile ago.

[TheWillywilo]

I'll say that if Sony planned to do all this PS+ requirement they should've made this clear months ago. I feel like they decided to do this crap last minute.

[zondaensensyvarealelumina]

Urgently call psychiatrists to the Sony office!!!
They managed to bury themselves in 48 hours! BRAVO

[thatmemeguy]

its crazy how people ar crying about a free PSN account.But people dont cry about making accounts for other games and chinese games and companys getting access to your PC VIA kernal level-anti cheat


EDIT:im surprised sony hasnt pulled the plug on PC ports yet

[ianvanwyk]

It boggles my mind that Sony is causing issues by enforcing a stupid mandate. This can be easily fixed by simply giving people the option to bypass PSN account in regions where you cannot access PSN.
Make PSN an optional feature and give people incentives to sign up, instead of going this strong-arm route which is only leading to disaster.

[mrmeme]

Why does bro feel the need to show his god of war controller in evrey thumbnail 😭😭😂

[mandrews]

It’s still an issue for Helldivers as well. The PSN requirement was backtracked but the affected countries never got access back to that game. Which only tells us Sony is going to wait and try and put it back in later.
