Although I don't know if Steam will re-enable sales for regions without PSN coverage.

Gamers really fighting for the things that matter

I mean it does kind of matter. People spent money on this shit and were no longer allowed to play it for no reason. It was basically a robbery. But will that make them learn to demand better in the future? No.

Fair enough. Sorry.

For some percentage of them, this is going to be their first experience with collective action getting the goods, and going to lead to them trying it more times in more contexts. And that's pretty cringe, but it's still a good thing.

Yeah I think I was being a little too dismissive maybe lol

The PSN thing locked out people in countries where PSN isn't supported but Steam is, which are usually poorer countries or sanctioned countries. So allowing this allows people from more countries to paly together. Which is positive or whatever blah blah blah.

A consoooomer riot isn't a labour riot, but it is something.

Sony is a dinosaur company ran by businessmen who still believe if they make the games really hard you'll be forced to put more quarters in your PS5 to keep playing, the average lumpengamer will not be able to manifest this into any other concessions from more competent billion dollar publishers (or more important issues than consumer rights)

It's literally clicking a red thumbs down im-doing-my-part

One should ask the reasons WHY the PSN is not available in certain countries. Bet it has a bit to do with western olgarchs trying to do a collective punishment via corporate loophole. But that's just-a-theory

I imagine the market isn't big in some countries. It's not even available in some European countries like Latvia and Lithuania lol
