It apparently started when SNOY started mandating linking PSN accounts to steam/PC version of the game

/r/PCGaming: Helldivers 2 to require linking Steam account to a Playstation account starting on May 6th. It was previously optional due to technical issues at launch

/r/Games : HELLDIVERS 2 Account Linking Update

The revolution begins

Aftermath:

/r/steam : Helldivers 2 went from one of the most beloved Steam games to one of the most hated pretty quickly

PCGaming :

• Helldivers 2 received over 14,000 negative reviews today due to an update that will require PSN accounts next week.

• Helldivers 2 has now received 84,000 negative reviews in the past day.

Apparently some countries can't create PSN accounts like Sri Lanka and they can't play the game they bought now because they can't create a PSN account

The same guy also gave the original Mass Effect a negative review and it turned out he didn't assign skill points;

other companies and your own us government if you live there already have plenty of information about you so

Why is it suddenly worse when China does it? The US Government does exactly the same thing.

Every single app on your (Windows) PC already has access to all your files, keyboard inputs, browser history, etc. Kernel access doesn't increase the amount of data apps have access to. Semi-related XKCD.

If you don't trust a piece of software, you shouldn't be running it. Kernel access doesn't matter, it's just a red herring.

>Third and most importantly it is made by Tencent

It isn't. It's made by Riot Games themselves. Tencent hasn't taken it and used it for themselves in any of their subsidiaries. Take from that what you will.

Microsoft is literally sending data about your every click. It's easier to accept that everyone and everywhere is collecting your data. To avoid this you have to spend a lot of time and deal with some inconveniences. This is more for criminals, politicians, big businessmen, journ*lists

Did you know that every Intel processor includes an NSA backdoor? And that we have conclusive evidence that the NSA spies on Americans, but no such evidence that the Chinese government spies on Americans? Just food for thought

a-blackw-d0w

Saying you value your privacy and don't want to use Vanguard but at the same time, the NSA, CIA and FBI all spy on us and work hard to pass laws to make it easier and we never know about it, while tech companies knowingly work with them to give over our data anytime they ask and sell out data to advertisers + NSA was recently caught buying our data, while Microsoft has been caught a long long time ago openly putting backdoors in Windows for them to have access, your privacy has been dead for a long time, you're just now starting to see.

More and more cheats run in ring0. If you are refusing to install an anti-cheat that runs in ring0, you are essentially saying that cheaters won and you are no longer willing to fight them. It is what it is.

Many people on the various posts about the Sony leaks have been wondering what exactly all this means and why Sony is having issues. This post is designed to break some of the scattered info down to create an idea of where Sony is headed.

To understand anything about modern Sony, one needs to understand 3 key things:

• The PlayStation 5 was released a little over 3 years ago, in that time 12 exclusives have been released.

• The Game & Network Services (gaming) division is Sony's largest division, making about 26 billion USD of the 88 billion they made across the whole company in FY2022. It is also the primary driver of the company's growth. The Music division and the Imaging and Sensing division are also growing, but not nearly as quickly. The Electronics Products & Solutions division is a good source of revenue, but it's basically stagnant.

• In April 2016 (April 1st lol), Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC (SIE) was created to operate PlayStation (and pretty much the entire gaming division). This ended up effectively moving the HQ of the PlayStation part of the company from Japan (the HQ of SIE's two predecessors) to San Mateo, California, the HQ of the newly formed SIE.

Sony's PlayStation brand has always been a very strong performer in the gaming market, ever since the PS1. It has had it's ups and downs, but has always been a good source of revenue and growth that's been able to capitalize on the continuously growing video game industry. This is best shown with the fact that PS5 has sold way more units than the Xbox series X and S, about twice as many.

However Sony is actually 2nd in a 3 player race, Nintendo is absolutely crushing both Sony and Microsoft in terms of console units sold. The Switch has sold 3x more than the PS5 despite only being twice as old. In fact in 2023 the Switch has been estimated to have sold an extra 10 million units over the PS5, so the Switch's advantage is not all because of it's age.

The main reason is that many Japanese developers and customers started to switch to the Switch, this will be explained later.

No big deal, right? Sony can at least keep a lock on the American AAA market and claw back over the next few years, right? Well, that was probably the plan, until Microsoft did the unexpected: they changed the entire industry.

Microsoft has always treated Xbox as a side business, never really getting the full backing of the entire company. This is because Microsoft is 24x larger than Sony in terms of market cap. Even if Xbox had an overwhelmingly dominant position in the current console business, it wouldn't really be a huge deal.

Thus, Sony always remained safe knowing that they were too small and insignificant to be crushed by Microsoft, and that they also had a very strong Japanese following (of both customers and developers) that would never go team Xbox. That is of course until two different developments occurred:

Microsoft decided that the console business isn't important... but the entire gaming industry is. They determined that if they could get a large slice of the entire gaming pie, not just console money, they would be able to make tons of money.

The Japanese turned on Sony, and started to move to Nintendo.

Both of these developments are best explained separately, so I'll be making 2 different posts that will cover each side of this 2 pronged assault on Sony's lunch.

Which should I write about first:

Goddess of Victory: Nikke celebrated its first anniversary in November, and the game continues to grow in popularity, even boasting a 40% user base of women in South Korea.

Women Account for 40% of Goddess of Victory Nikke Users in South Korea

According to the latest data from Sensor Tower, cumulative global revenue from November 4, 2022, to November 10, 2023, was over $600 million. Japan ranked first in the game's first year with a revenue share of 59.3%. The United States came in second place with 15.5%, and South Korea in third place with 12.2%, but boasts the highest ratio of female players at 40%.

In terms of Japan's mobile game revenue growth over the same period, Goddess of Victory: Nikke more than doubled the second place Hokai: Star Rail. All titles in the top 5 mobile game revenue growth saw a growth of over $100 million, including Nikke, Honkai: Star Rail, and Blue Archive, among others.

The question is still unanswered, what's the legacy and Neo women ratio

Just beat the Resident Evil 4 remake finally, still can't believe how fricking horrible the Ada Wong voice actress is, it's worse that the original resident evil acting, which at least had some feeling and emotion to it!

It's literally so bad that people have already made mods using an AI voice to replace her and it actually sounds 100% better! lmao

I was trying to look up what happened and I guess she's already been bullied (good) a lot over it or something. Instead of taking the criticism though, she has doubled down with that message above. Never underestimate the depth of the feminine bravata when it comes to shit acting.

Anyway, time to try Shadow Warrior 3, hopefully the new Asian voice actor they hired to replace the white guy for this series did a good job, I'd hate to see them frick up my favorite literal ching chong peepee joke protagonist, Lo Wang. Fingers crossed!
