HELLDIVERS 2 sees over 130K bad reviews on Steam as Sony double down
5 May 2024 at 10:47 am UTC Likes: 4

Quoting: Ehvis
QuoteNow, Sony seem to be doubling down on this. As shown on SteamDB the game is no longer available for purchase in 177 locations. Why? PlayStation Network is not available in a lot of places, and so forcing this will mean players in these regions will be unable to play the game.

This is where things get seriously immoral. If it was always the plan to enforce PSN accounts, why was the game sold in these countries?
PSN is not available in e.g. Latvia and Lithuania, both of which are EU countries with the same copyright law as the rest of the EU. And yes, the game is still being sold there.

Well extraction is where you go in, do stuff and attempt to leave. Horror means some form of scary, combine the two.

Just kidding, love you Liam.

This time-limited licensing is such bullshit. Basically building a self-destruct timer into the product.

Well, this is a clear-cut case of copyright infringement. Valve just did what any sane company would have done.

NVIDIA reveal Half-Life 2 RTX, plus GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series GPUs

Quoting: GuestLooks fake. RTX on/off doesn't have anything to do with it (or little). They redid the textures significantly. Now if it showed dynamic lighting with the old lighting, then we'd be talking.
Even the models look different. This is more like a complete remaster, which does look nice, but nothing that cannot be done without ray tracing.
