That is not universal. My local university forces you to pay to live on campus in the dorms for the first 2 years of your attendance regardless. You can choose to live elsewhere but you’re still paying the fees and no student is paying for two places to live lmao

Jokes on Sony, they stopped getting my money years ago.

I hope they also improve the ability to see your damned hashtags cause when I used Pixelfed I followed a few dozen hashtags of interest and I only ever found one spot on your account which let you see ‘the list’ of hashtags you followed and it only ever showed me a random selection of 3-4 of the dozens I followed. Closed my account a few days later lol.

Hell I still remember my Nintendo Power membership number.

Lmao

Sony: The reason I stopped at the PS4 lol.

The tl;dr seems to be:

After such and such date (end of the month I think? Sometime soon either way) you will be required to sign in with a PSN account in order to play. Some say this was not advertised when the game launched, some say it was (I believe people found wayback machine captures that say it was but I may be wrong. Some people don’t want this, some countries aren’t allowed to sign up for PSN accounts outright (and if they have Helldivers 2 they would then be losing access technically).

Sony offered up the usual explanation of security and whatnot, which most aren’t accepting that as Valve/VAC do the job of security, leading most to assume it’s a way for Sony to gather more info and data from customers which they can then sell or otherwise market somehow.

Overall souring people on the whole situation of a bit of a bait-and-switch.

Oh my heart is fantastic, Suzanne, but thanks for your concern.

I just don’t go online and complain about the terms of legal contracts that I signed while blaming the company for being the bad guys for setting forth the terms that you, again, agreed to.

🤦

Edit: And your downvotes mean nothing either rofl.

Oh no Verizon is making you do the fucking shit you signed up and agreed to do oh no the horror!

Yep. I’ve had Plex set up for over a decade now, I just add in random fast stuff like Pluto/Tubi/ShoutFactory to supplement when I want something ‘else’. Last time I had cable was November 2009, haven’t had Netflix since 2013/2014 or so.

I saw this coming a mile away a decade ago.

Ditto. I’m Canadian so our media libraries typically have sucked compared to the US. Back 10-12 years or so ago I remember Netflix making comments online about looking into blocking Canadians from using vpn’s, DNS services and the like to access American Netflix.

Like…motherfuckers I’ve been pirating since June 1, 1999 when Napster came out, and several years earlier if we wanna count a wall of VHS recordings as piracy. I cancelled that day, and set up Plex. Now a decade+ and 30TB later I haven’t had to worry about it for a second, and neither have over a dozen of my close friends lol.
