Sony learned nothing from the Helldivers 2 shitshow.

Well, another game I won't be playing in that case. Fortunately my backlog is large enough to keep me busy for the next couple of years, so I feel no need to play every new title. But still: my wallet thanks Sony for making the choice for me.

We'll help you pirate it, just ask.

Thanks, I know my way around the high seas should the need arise. But I can't play every game out there anyway, so as long as I can get my gaming needs satisfied through non-shittified legal means I prefer that.

Oh, and also, it's only "illegal" because they have the money.

See: wage theft

I think they’re okay with that. The budget for these games has ballooned so much, they feel like they need a market goal beyond the $60 sale. Microtransactions are one approach, but pulling people into a gaming ecosystem like PSN is another. If you’re not interested in either, you’re not their target demographic.
