Enshittification sure is fast

Here's an alternative version so you can really appreciate the majesty of this dude's belly.

I've quit riot, blizzard, ea, activition, ubisoft, and now sony. There are so many incredible games to play out there and I don't need to waste my time with publishers I can't trust.

"Beloved by all" Don't be so hasty. I wish I could love games with kernel level anti cheats, but there are far better games with less risky software.

Honestly, they also enshitified it at launch by shipping alongside a rootkit.

Sony has been fucking over the AAA gaming market for at least 20 years now.

I mean this pic is beyond epic.

nProtect seems to be even worse than it sounds:

no idea if they patched any of that since, but accepting non-validated DLLs is some wild level of neglect...

I mean if it is a choice between using a Sony account and using nProtect. Would choose Sony account but needing both is a little overkill.

All of you playing on a pc already installed the insane rootkit of drm that it comes with, idk why any of you would complain about linking a sony account.

That drm is why I only got it on ps5, at least there its not on my pc.

Wow first I am hearing of this, what a bummer.

The decade of epic face-plants continues. Countries, Fortune 500 companies, Billionaires, you name it, they’re all fucking up big time in the stupidest ways possible.

It's Gamespy round 2 (also, what an awful name for an authentication service)

Kernel level anti cheat, battle pass, micro transactions in a $40 game btw. It was shit from the beginning. Unfortunate cause the game itself is so good.

Japanese companies aren’t used to listening to their customers.

Not sure how no one saw this coming. Every multiplayer game that uses malw- kernel level anti-cheat WILL inevitably be enshittified. This one is a reminder that not even the most beloved of games are safe.

Yes, have you even played csgo? Lmao

That's not the reality of the situation at all. They all started kernel level anti cheat to stop problems that were being faced. Counterstrike is the easiest example

It literally said this would happen from day one lol
