make it stupidly hard for players from certain countries to play as they can’t legally sign up for a PSN account
Not trying to dismiss this issue but looking for more info: illegal as in, their country outlaws using the service? Or Sony does not allow citizens of that country to make an account? If it’s the former, were these people even allowed to download the game through Steam legally? If the latter, is there any reason to care, other than potentially getting banned?
This is the answer. I’ve had a 256gb SSD with nothing but Windows on it since 2018. Every time Windows starts to get a little feisty (far too often… sigh…) I just nuke the drive from orbit and spend an hour reinstalling windows rather than spending a weekend or two shuffling things around to get back to where they need to be.
Only thing that’s mildly annoying is most things expect everything to be on the C drive by default and it can be a little annoying navigating programs that don’t “remember” the last folder they looked in. But telling the boys that you have to reinstall Windows and then being back on for games the same day, definitely worth it.
