I thought this might be a similar situation to Ghost of Tsushima where a PSN account is only required for online play, but Ragnarok has no multiplayer.

I don't understand why Sony is so insistent on this. PSN is still unsupported in 170+ territories; this requirement is just going to turn most of those "would-be" buyers in those territories into pirates.

At this point I'm convinced that companies intentionally reduce access to their properties because making examples of a few pirates by making them pay millions of dollars is more profitable than legitimately selling games to a few thousand people

Would bet my life that that is why you can't legitimately buy most old Nintendo games online

Are there any cases of such payout actually happening...? I'm not buying it. (Literally and figuratively.)

[–] Kelly@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

No.

Commercial pirates or the people who initially leak a title might be targeted, consumers are not expected to pay significant damages.

Well famously Nintendo owns 1/3rd of every dollar Gary Bowser makes for the rest of his life
