Sony just did a Unity here. How the hell can you ruin such a beloved game in a single cheer stupid move, for the purpose of just gathering data. It’s beyond me.
Joel is portrayed as being a part of the journey of the game. He dies in the first “chapter”. They went so far as to switch a character out for him to make it look like he would be alive for the game. And then they try to make you sympathetic to the person who killed him by making you play as them for half the game. :::
It makes my blood boil how bad pt 2 is after the first one is one of the best games ever.
Not just any old malware, but insecure rootkits that allowed ANYONE to have total control over the system with their own malware above the OS-level with no way to even know the malware was there.
Did that actually break computers? I remember hearing about it at the time but I also don’t remember having a problem. I didn’t think I took any real precautions either, I just carried on as per and nothing ever happened.
the starforce driver sometimes prevented some exotic cd drives from working or caused bsods while playing audio cds, but the cases were relatively rare
nvm i didn’t realize they were talking about a different kind of drm

Also earlier this year they stole purchased content from millions of their customers
Also they bait and switched everyone with the advertising for the last of us pt 2.
I am unaware of this one. Can you share what is this about, or share the relevant search keywords?
Spoilers ahead for the game:
Yeah so if you look at the pre launch trailers

Your spoiler syntax is incorrect (or not working on Jerboa).
I dunno why it won’t work. I put the content between the tags and formatting with spaces and without. No dice
I clicked the formatting button on boost…dunno why it ain’t working. Thnx I’ll mess with it.
Yikes. I am yet to play the game but I knew Joel dies in the second one, as it almost felt like a setup for his death was built-in.
However, I wasn’t aware of Sony going to such lengths to misdirect the game’s players.
Thanks a lot for sharing the context.
P.S. you might want to fix the formatting for the spoilers as it is currently not hidden.
I tried my best. I can’t tell when it works
It is working now. :-)
