Dice I think you cooked with the last patch and I am 550 hours in but in ranked please add reconnect on crash / disconnect and make sure this bug isn’t in the game. :(
This shouldn’t be too hard to do!!
Most piracy is wrong as hell and all this outrage about the PlayStation needing to connect online every 30 days is a straight-up nothingburger.
I’ll start with the obvious: yeah, I’ve pirated stuff. Old anime that’s not even available to buy or stream in Europe? I’ve got a Plex server full of it. I’m not sitting here pretending I’m some saint. But let’s stop acting like the majority of piracy is some righteous preservation mission or “sticking it to the man.” Most of it is just people wanting the new game, the new season, the new movie right now without paying for it. That’s it.
And that’s wrong.
Someone made that thing. They put in the hours, the stress, the late nights. Whether it’s a big studio or some indie dev who bet everything on their project, they’re supposed to get paid when you enjoy their work. The whole “I wouldn’t have bought it anyway” excuse is weak. If you’re spending 40 hours in the game and telling everyone how good it is, you got the value. Pay for the value or don’t consume it. Simple as that.
The indie scene gets hit the hardest and nobody talks about it. That solo dev or small team? Every cracked copy is money that was supposed to go toward their next game, their rent, their kid’s stuff. But we’ve all decided that’s fine because “corporations bad.” Cool, so now the little guy suffers too and we just shrug.
Now the PlayStation thing. People are acting like Sony asking the console to check in online once a month is the end of gaming as we know it. Bro, come on. Most of us are connected 24/7 anyway. It’s a basic check so people can’t just pirate everything day one and never look back. Is it annoying? Sure, a little. Is it some dystopian overreach that deserves 50 threads and YouTube videos calling it the death of ownership? No. It’s a nothingburger.
If it was always-online for single-player games, yeah, I’d be pissed too. But 30 days? That’s not oppression, that’s basic anti-piracy. Companies have every right to protect what they make. You don’t get to steal the car and then complain that the alarm goes off.
The hypocrisy is what kills me. Same crowd that loses their mind over this DRM stuff is usually the loudest about how piracy is harmless and actually good for “exposure.” Pick a lane. Either companies deserve to make money off their work or they don’t. You can’t have it both ways just because it’s convenient for you.
I’m not saying never pirate anything ever again. I’m saying stop pretending it’s morally neutral or even virtuous. Most of it isn’t. And the PlayStation outrage? It’s mostly pirates mad the free lunch is getting slightly harder to grab.
Change my view.
This guy was in Redsec Battle Royale just headshotting people left and right while being level 7. I am still a bit salty because otherwise we would have probably won. Hope there will be soon a mode where only higher levels (like 100+ can play Ranked.)
