[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 122 points 2 years ago (3 children) Is Sony saying piracy is justified by making it not possible to buy this game? I guess if I have to. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] autonomoususer@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) How many are pirating it in solidarity? I'd rather reject their anti-libre software entirely, make them irrelevant. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [+] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [+] lud@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm sorry you misunderstood what I said. I was saying that Sony is encouraging piracy by making it impossible to play their games legaly in some regions, including mine. Personally I don't think piracy is wrong with the exception of indie devs. If you think you are fighting corporations by pirating then yea, that's dumb but I haven't heard that stance yet. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [+] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world -39 points 2 years ago (5 children) Well I'm a PlayStation user, are you saying it's justifiable for me to now pirate Starfield, Halo and every Xbox and steam exclusive game? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 50 points 2 years ago If your only option to play a game is moving to a different country then I'd say it's the most justifiable. If you only have a PlayStation piracy won't really help you play PC or XBox games though so I don't see how that would help. permalink fedilink source parent [–] otp@sh.itjust.works 40 points 2 years ago Well I'm a PlayStation user, are you saying it's justifiable for me to now pirate Starfield, Halo and every Xbox and steam exclusive game? How, exactly, will you pirate those games to play them on your PlayStation? permalink fedilink source parent [–] i2ndshenanigans@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago You can buy Starfield on Steam does it require an Xbox account to play if you buy it in steam? I think most are saying if you can buy it in steam but still need a psn account to play it then pirate it. I have both Xbox and PlayStation but I’m with the masses on this if you offer it on a platform then you shouldn’t require an account from a different platform to be able to play the game. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago I'm okay with that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago They're not available in your country ? then yes permalink fedilink source parent
