    So glad I didn’t buy any Sony PC port yet. I will pirate every single one of them.

      Just don’t play them at all. Pirating still gives their games attention that will lead to extra sales when compared to a complete flop.

        I want to play them. Sony PC ports are objectively good games. Maybe you subjectively don’t like some but you are a minority.

        They lost sales from me. Given time, I would probably buy all of them. I usually always buy games. I have 800 games on Steam.

          Nestlé products taste good. Does my Nestlé boycott still count if I steel it?

            Only if you’re borrowing the hot chocolate and allow them to walk into your kitchen and repossess it whenever they want.

              I wouldn’t steel from anybody, but if you want to make it the lorry problem, yes I would rather steal from an evil company than a less evil.

              Doesn’t mean I start stealing.

            I feel the argument is a little different when it comes to physical goods.

            Stealing a Nestlé product takes away revenue just like if it were left on the shelf, never purchased, and discarded by the shop. The main benefit there is the edible portion of the product doesn’t end up in a landfill.

              It’s the same when I look at my dignity. When I boycott a company or a specific product, I don’t even want it for free.

              No more Rolo, even when it is a gift.

                If more people held themselves accountable, these products wouldn’t exist. I know it can be an awkward situation to deny a gift for ethical reasons. Kudos to you.

                What would you say to vegan activists that break into farms and steal animals? That’s wrong too because they are boycotting the meat industry?

                  l would say it’s dumb because more animals get harmed that way, because the missing animals will get replaced.

    Ok. I’ll still play the game with no PSN. They’ll just not get any money x it. 🤷‍♀️

    This happens when there is a lack of competition. If MS didn’t shit the bed with xbox in this generation, Sony would be trying harder

      They’re competing with PC now and simultaneously trying to turn this into a vector to convert people to PS5. It won’t work, but the fact that there are PC versions at all show how they can’t just do what they want with impunity.

    I never played this game; is it really so good that fans were clamoring for a re-release? What am I missing if anything?

    Also, I may be misremembering when this was launched but isn’t it a bit early for a re-master on this one?

      It’s good, but not good enough that I would be willing to have DRM on it. And yeah, it’s too new to have a remaster.
