Marijuana is its own special category, but club drugs (which for some reason include date rape drugs), inhalants and steroids are all in a “miscellaneous” category together?...
Der Dienst eines verpflichtenden Gesellschaftsjahres soll man in Deutschland dann sowohl bei der Bundeswehr als auch bei sozialen Einrichtungen ableisten können. Ein Pflicht-Gesellschaftsjahr hatte die CDU bereits vor zwei Jahren in ihr Grundsatzprogramm aufgenommen. Neu sind nun die Änderungen zur Wehrpflicht.
Finde die Idee ein Jahr etwas für die Gesellschaft zu tun, sei es nun Wehrdienst oder etwas anderes nicht-kommerzielles, eigentlich sehr gut. So etwas stiftet Gemeinschaftssinn, welchen wir in diesen kalten Zeiten gut gebrauchen können finde ich.
Natürlich werden sie während des Jahres bezahlt und idealerweise auch untergebracht. Mit nicht-kommerziell meine ich dass sie nicht einfach arbeiten gehen sollen sondern etwas gemeinnütziges tun.
Naja ich würde schon voraussetzen dass diese neue Sozialdienst-pflicht konsequent für alle beteiligten der Gesellschaft gilt.
Falls das noch nicht reicht um Philipp den anwaltssohn mal ein bisschen Realität schmecken zu lassen muss vielleicht der Staat eingreifen, und dafür sorgen dass das Jahr nicht mit einem bezahlten Praktikum bei papas Kanzlei verbracht wird. Ist alles nur eine Frage der Umsetzung.
Hab mich mal genau mit den Forderungen meiner beiden top Ergebnisse beschäftigt, und mir gefallen beide nicht :(
die ödp positionen finde ich im grunde super, sind aber auch so 10% schwurblersachen dabei wie impfskepsis und Angst vor Mobilfunk welche mir das vermiesen.
Während Volt mir auch in weiten teilen sehr zusagt, aber dann zu sozialliberal ist.
I dont want to defend Sony, but the big issue here was the fact that it was not required at first and sold in regions where psn is not available.
If they want to release future titles on PC with a psn requirement that’s their business, as long as they do it in the proper regions and with the explicit and consistent requirement. They must make it clearly known to the customer beforehand.
I don’t have to like it and i certainly won’t buy any game with that requirement, but they corrected this fuckup and I can continue to enjoy this product I bought, free of psn.
Plenty of third party accounts are needed for steam purchases, that alone isnt news worthy or even really objectionable at this point. And were it just for that we would have never gotten sony to back down, or even close to this amount of outrage.
What made this protest succeed are the accidental sales outside the psn regions, and the attempt to make psn mandatory retroactively.
If I may ask, what are you so mad about? We got what we wanted, a purchase we made to remain as it is. I won’t be buying their products in the future if psn is required, but i also dont care about their shitty business as long as it doesn’t affect me. And we averted that.
It seems insane to me that Americans use pesticides on their own garden and lawn. Do you not walk on there? have your kids and pets play outside? What are you even trying to kill with the poison?
The reason steam has managed to remain consistently relevant and beloved by its users is for sure the fact that it is not a public company, but owned by nerds and the people working there. Makes for a great employee retention, and without being hounded by shareholders they can operate properly and with long term plans.
I’m a PS5 player, so I can’t make an impact, but if you did write a negative review (thank you, you made this happen ❤️) please consider taking the time to change it! This was clearly not AH decision and the game deserves an accurate review, it’s easily one of the best games I’ve ever played and definitely the best...
Definitely will do that, the game itself is still very fun and not deserving of the bad ratings.
And with Sony finally having gotten the message (for the time being at least) they faced their mistake and were willing to make up for it, which doesn’t happen too often these days. And I do appreciate that.
It is still a corporation. Think of them like sauron in lotr, a sort of evil giant you can successfully defy with concerted effort, but you can’t really defeat them without throwing the ring into mount doom (destroying capitalism and intellectual property in this case).
huge demand and server load make linking psn for PC players buggy and difficult
psn requirements are disabled “temporarily” around that time to ease the load
the game becomes even more successful, tens of thousands of players buy and install it, without ever being prompted to make a psn account
Sony has wording in their PC requirements that said linking to psn is optional for PC users
now, months later, Sony decides they want more psn users for their metrics, and make a psn account mandatory retroactively
huge amounts of players feel duped out of their product, especially those from regions steam serves, but Sony doesn’t, because they will essentially lose access to their product completely. Others are mistrustful of Sony’s data protection record, they got hacked with disturbing frequency over the years, and dont want to give them their data on principle, especially with the knowledge that the game ran perfectly fine for months without psn
Players are up in arms, barraging the arrowhead (who were forced by Sony to do this) community managers with hate
players review bomb the absolute shit out of the game on steam, causing it to go from mostly positive to mixed over the course of a day
Sony half heartedly rolls back the requirement after a weekend of huge community backlash, poor press coverage, and depressed arrowhead CEO tweets
Certainly, though I suspect the sales outside their psn market were a significant factor in making them reconsider now. They likely didn’t want to deal with the legal fallout of essentially arbitrarily taking away the product the customers already paid for, and played with. If it weren’t for that I bet Sony would have just pushed on through, bad reviews be damned
Main question in title. It sounded like the majority platform for the game is PC. What’s stopping the devs from just re-releasing the game on PC without Sony as the publisher? Can the devs just abandon ship and start fresh, but without Sony?
That is how its generally done yes, especially when there is such a large power imbalance between the two parties (one being a multinational corporate giant and the other a mid sized studio with only average releases so far). Maybe they even signed a deal for hd3 with them in advance as well
Commercial musicians caring about their sales. Why is that surprising? It is time we stop thinking of every celebrity as a good person, they are completely average for the most part. Including casual indifference to things that are not their problems.

Is there anything stopping AH from Re-releasing a fork of HD2 as HD3 and putting it on Steam without the PSN requirement?
