Use the block function in steam to block all these nasty vidjya production companies.

Sony fucked with helldiver’s 2 a month after launch, I couldn’t get a refund and also couldn’t use the social functions of their game. Wasted $40 on that POS.

I no longer see their shitty software in my store. You shouldn’t have to, either.

Is that just for the multiplayer, or for single player as well?

I used to pirate games because I couldn’t buy them. Now I pirate games because the publishers are greedy cunts who do layoffs to appease shareholders, shutter studios that make good games, and pull all the shit Sony’s pulling this year 🖕

One year Sony installed rootkits on everyone’s computers.

This was an interesting read. Good to know that from now on I should treat official CDs just like pirated content: with caution.

I doubt this will ever completely happen. I think Microsoft would turn windows into a full blown console with forced DRM for all games and software with perfect license tracking before sony, microsoft’s xbox division and nintendo bowed out.

The only great thing is that indies can be successful without being under a major publisher. Steam kind of has a stranglehold though for no good reason other than the fact they were the first and thus the most popular one. I still remember losing out on sharing half life cd keys with my buddies. Only one could be used at a time online but few of us were online all the time, this was still in the tail end of the dialup era.
