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

Sony is testing the waters with trying to console-ify/enshittify PC gaming, for now it's making a PSN account and living in an "approved" country, next it's going to be paying online subscription services to play PSN games. My thoughts are game developers and consumers should avoid Sony like the plague (and request refunds / class legal action in cases like Helldivers 2 where it was introduced after the fact), there are better publishers; and if you can afford it, self-publishing.
