Please not. I don't want Sony to retreat entirely from the pc market (and they most likely will do it if they are not on Steam anymore).
Go on?
I attempted to sell you a car in the UK. I realize I'm unable to and issue a refund.
Fraud exists where?
I entered into an agreement with a car manufacturer to be able to sell their cars in the UK. After I had people place orders (and pay) for a bunch of them the manufacturer decided that they were no longer supplying cars to the UK. Forcing me to issue my customers with refunds.
Fraud exists because you were driving the car for a while with your normal drivers license and everything was perfectly fine, but now (for example) Elon says you have to get a specialized additional Tesla certification license from Tesla, but only offers it to countries whose names start with vowels because he was on a ketamine bender one night.
It’s a retroactive, unilateral change to a contract, which is generally considered legally questionable at the very least. And - you guessed it - possibly fraud.
Correct me if I’m wrong but the game isn’t out yet on PC so no one has been playing (driving) the game.
You’re being pedantic and you know it.
There is a big difference between cancelling an order and taking away a product that you have been using.
I don’t agree with Sony’s actions as everyone should be able to buy the game but this is Sony cancelling an order as the game isn’t even out yet on PC.
It’s now a pattern and practice, though. HD2 could have been a fluke. But this now indicates that they’re probably going to do something similar with all of their current-gen games. THAT is the point people are becoming furious with.
That was obvious though. There was articles last week saying that Ghost of Tsushima wouldn’t remove the PSN requirement. It is also listed above the buy button (although that could be recent).
It was pretty clear from their response to HD2 that they would try again. Sure they shouldn’t have been selling preorders in countries that don’t have PSN access but it isn’t really surprising that they are enforcing it here.
I don’t understand why you’re shilling for Sony as if this was a reasonable or defensible practice.
I’m not but what’s funny is that EA, Ubisoft and Rockstar require an account to play their single player games and even their awful launchers which Sony isn’t doing and no one cares. Suddenly Sony does the same thing and everyone is furious about it.
Maybe it’s time for everyone to start review bombing these publishers too.
You should look up what the word "fraud" means in a legal context.
You would have an incredibly, overwhelmingly difficult tike attempting to prove that in court at this moment.
Fraud requires intentional deception and requires you to have lost something. This is a proactive action to prevent misunderstanding and from you purchasing something that won't work, and refunds your purchase. The loss, and the intent, are both missing.
This is categorically not fraud.
It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).
More like I pay you for water in my house and midway in you decided to add berry flavor.
Great, now my spaghetti taste like berry, and I didn't agree to that.
Now I kind of want to try berry spaghetti.
No you don't.
And when you don't you gotta give me a run down :)
There are dessert pasta dishes.

Here's one with a strawberry sauce. If you can do strawberry sauce, I'm pretty sure that berries would also work in the pasta itself.
It might reduce the structural strength of the pasta, but I figure that you can probably just use a larger pasta if need be.
This is why we need pasta with structural integrity field generators on every noodle.
