That's why I said I wasn't sure and that I was asking for clarification?

Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: The access hadn't been removed yet, as the update that would enable account linking wasn't pushed yet. As for the Steam side, I'm pretty sure people who already had the game installed should've had access still, although updates and general unsureness definitely could be obstacles. With this tweet, however, the update is no longer coming, and were just waiting for Sony/Valve to lift the selling/installing restrictions in those countries.
Would the publisher not have to request the game not be sold in those countries before Valve restricts the sale of it?
I believe that Valve may be the ones who do it, but just doing it without permission sounds... Illegal and out of their jurisdiction.
I know Valve controls their storefront and can absolutely pull games down, just looking for some clarification on whether this could be true or not.
One company owns a vast amount of all grocery stores in Canada.

So sure, it may not be the "grocery stores" individually, it's sure as shit on their holding company.

Memes have become a sort of coping mechanism/method of communication, and it just reflects the the broader state of the world around them.
Places like Lemmy have becomes bastions for people to share their thoughts and opinions, because the overwhelming consensus is the acknowledgment of being helpless and this is a way to vent and share (what should be) obvious solutions to the problems we're facing.
Sure, we go out and vote and talk to friends and family about the things we can do to make change, but we're not in the class of people to make that change happen.
So I say fuck it, post away the neo-nilhism memes, I'll upvote em and laugh away the enormous issues the world has.
It's insane that a company can miss the point by this much...
Just make a good product, do everything you can to avoid fleecing your player base, and they will come. Then you can add microtransactions that people can buy. You gotta earn that shit through merit of a good game.
There was an article posted here yesterday that said this was the problem.
Now that Google has taken action to help alleviate the issue, we now have the problem of "wokeness".
Any and all issues calling out wokeness as part of any problem immediately loses all credibility to me. If wanting to include other ethnicities in something, even if it's just to make the people with the money look better, I'm all for it.
Being inclusive in any way is league's better than the alternatives.
It definitely has potential. People gotta remember that when they reach for castings like Kevin Hart as Roland; these are professional actors. If they want something a bit different from that person, they can probably achieve it.
I think we'll be pleasantly surprised, so long as you keep an open mind that it's not supposed to be a beat for beat recreation of the games.
It really depends on where you worked I guess. My company was understaffed and worked us to the bone before, during, and after the pandemic.
I'd like to have that number of people working to keep the workloads lower, but costs are costs and they gotta cut from keeping going under.
And God forbid the CEOs take a paycut and make up the pay of 20 people themselves.
/s, just in case.
That's right, I have heard of some of these cases, but thank you very much for the info! I definitely didn't want Sony to have any ground to stand on here, so happy that Valve is able to step up to protect consumers however they can.
