I’ve been called worse by better people. People who don’t read things that they are agreeing to and then complain they don’t like it after the fact should take the lesson and move on.

If your replying to this thread on mobile, I would like to remind you that you never read the EULA to your phone either (this would have taken several hours for android and slightly less for iOS) . You just saw the blurp "accept terms and conditions" and moved on with your life like everyone else did. There is no expectation to read usage contracts for small, non-bussiness purchases.

Also, your opposition to this discourse is futile... The ball is in Sony/Arrowheads court. We will see if they compromise with players in eastern europe, or double down to become the next Battlefront 2 (pride and accomplishment yall!). As for me, ill let the paint dry and move on if I feel they resolved this poorly. Lets see if EDF6 can stick the landing.

It wasn’t hidden in some legalese riddled document. It was listed on the store page on the right side where they put all the requirements for outside accounts. I get there are people who don’t want to have to install other launchers and make other accounts, but it was there. To complain that they are now enforcing it when it was obviously disclosed and claim it was a bait and switch are wrong.

Should they have sold it to countries Sony doesn’t serve? Obviously not.

In general, even as a company, in most of the civilized world, you don't get to just write stuff in some ToS and fuck around. Consumer protection agencies do care about this.

Sorry, on page 10,782 it says that if you don’t make a PSN account you have to become a slave. You signed it!

Hold on let me just slip a note that says "you agree to give up your rights" in to the computers my clients buy, that means I'm covered right?

Here is the lesson i take out of it - if buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.
