Okay...the video game industry is going to crash any day now.

They keep raising prices, lowering quality, abusing their devs and now they're also making everything more restrictive. And There's also several games out there that require you to disable your core isolation to install them.

If it won't run with core isolation enabled, it's malware. That's the rule every windows user needs to start following.

Americans are not going to stop playing video games anytime soon. I think they can easily get away with more

Playstation is the most anti-consumer company ever, even worse than Epic, which is insane.

What about Comcast?

"The good news is we have a console for people without internet access, it's called Xbox 360"

You are forgetting about Nintendo. And that is only mentioning gaming companies... look outside gaming and there is a whole shit-show going on at the moment for that position.

I already made an uplay account, a social club account, an origin account, an epic account, I'm tired, I'm not making a CONSOLE account, I don't have a playstation and I won't have one since I'm against everything sony is doing to asian games.

Even worse! You can't even have a PSN account everywhere you can have a Steam account with this game

The baltics and the balkans never get a break.

As if having been oppressed by orcs is not enough.

Shit, they were both oppressed forever. The byzantines for the Balkans and the northern crusade and the teutonic order against the Balts come to mind.

Now the Japanese want to being their reign of terror with restrictive game accounts!

I live in one of the grey countries. You can create an account, but Sony offers different stores in different countries, so you have to pick another country. They even sells consoles in many of the grey countries. The biggest issue is that you probably won't be able to buy anything without extra hustle because your card is not issued in the country of your PSN account. Also, this is technically against their ToS. But you can create an account to play Helldivers 2.

With that said, I can't speak for all countries. Maybe somewhere it's really impossible to create an account without VPN.

I live in a gray country as well. It's like this for a lot of products. And a lot of websites block you too. Everything here is more complicated
