"Safely" Safe from what exactly?

Safe from healthy competitive markets?

Safe from your privacy of course. How else can they know what are you playing at all times

Enjoying the game after a few years the servers shut down.

Its ok sony. I have other ways of playing your games

Oh look, a boss lying to his customers.

The CEO explanation is why I haven't purchased any Sony games since Helldivers 2. The first time they were greedy with customer data was enough to know that one of the most hacked companies in the world isn't concerned with the safety of others. They want all that juicy usage data and are losing money by not having a team compile the insights and selling it by the first weeks after launch.

Sony is a parasite.

Only time I've had unauthorized access to my PayPal was from fucking Sony so they get nothing from me.

Man, God of War Ragnarok was a fun game. Too bad they didn't want me to pay for it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

But for the live service games […]

Which the game isn't one.

[–] babybus 14 points 3 months ago

I agree that they should keep games safe from PlayStation accounts.

"WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN DO YOU WANT THE TERRORISTS TO WIN?? Now shut up and give us your private data and let us control your access to 'your' games."

I will never buy a playstation product. Even sony I avoid at all costs because of how they run playstation, and I spent 20k on canon camera equipment to avoid their photography equipment, which is arguably better.

Fuck anyone who forces anyone else to compromise their privacy for the sake of “safety.” Just fuck right off.

to keep games safe

Really ups the clarion call to pirate the hell out of it (or not play it at all).
