I can't wait to see the sushi mods!

Well... it is the best game they've launched on PC so that makes sense to me

It beat God of War by a few thousand but it was a pretty underwhelming launch imo



77k peak player count is not impressive at all for such a highly anticipated pc port and during a time when there's no new AAA game to compete with.

If they didn't block almost 200 countries from buying it, I'm pretty sure it'd be 150k avg. for at least a week. But Sony's management is too rigid and too incompetent to just let those 180+ countries have PSN accounts.

Shows how zzzzzzz the other games they've released are

Game was banned in half the world and still was sony's most successful on pc

The numbers aren't impressive tho. I wonder what kind numbers Sony expects from releasing the game years later when most people have played it

Good question but even at those number which you say aren't good, gives Sony an extra 4-5mil in revenue on the game, really a no brainier for them, as no Sonycels are going to be upset over the loss of "exclusivity" that long after release, especially since Sony gave away the game for free on PS+ long ago. I like their PC release model.

Wasn't it only banned it 3rd world countries?

10k gamers might not seem like much, but when you peak at 77k it becomes more significant.

That could have been over 12 percent more people buying/playing. Certainly not something to just ignore

What do you think is stopping them from supporting in all regions? Why can't they just do it today?

Idk thats for the suits to figure out but from what I read it was Sony who made this decision and not steam





Unrelated but still samurai, I found this beauty at the liquor store. $140 lulz

^^ The point I'm trying to make is obviously there's a huge legal/monetary issue in getting PSN support available in all these regions. If it was easy it would have been done already. Those 10k more steam players may not be worth the trade off for them.

I think government regulation is a big part of it. Xbox only operates in a similar number of countries I believe, they just don't broadcast it I don't think.

Nope. You can make an xbox live account from those countries banned from Sony.

Sony is basically the only mainstream gaming company I know that has this kind of policy. So if they don't think having business in those countries is worth it, obviously other companies think otherwise.

Yeah it definitely has something to do with this, if it was that easy it would already be done. In my country for streaming services we pay the standard prices but get an extremely watered down hollowed out piss version where most of the actually good content is blocked.

K then.



Sony is the only company banning sales in these countries, but they are not the only company that doesn't operate in these countries.

From a gamer's stand point those pics you posted doesn't mean anything.

What gamers only care about is if they're able to register account without breaking ToS and buy games from the company

You can literally test it out from the xbox live site


I've been playing Sea of Thieves for years with my xbox live account registered from one of the countries banned by Sony.

So if there's something on the legal and business side of things that makes Sony not want to sell games on those 180+ countries, clearly, they're the only mainstream company who has that problem.

Yep i bought it for PC. I didn't even know about the game but i saw it there on steam and looked at it and it looked like a game that demanded respect and to be bought so i couldn't resist. It's great so far.

I wonder if that new Assassins Creed game announcement helped drive sales of this game lol.
