Atomic Level A-Bomb to Helldivers2 / Sony. You just assed out over 100 countries form giving you money for the game because of a stupid PSN requirement. At least Steam ignored the policy and refunded folks with over 100 hours playtime anyway.

QOTW: Two games on the horizon that I am looking cautiously forward to proves how much of a glutton for punishment I am and how gullable I can be are ArchAge 2 (hoping without a labor system) and Star Wars Outlaws.

QOTW: There are a few games that I have on my radar, Wuthering Waves, Blue Protocol, Mecha BREAK, but most importantly a game I thought was terrible and just a dumb idea but ended up being fun and really clicked with me, turns out I am also excellent at it considering I managed to make it into the top100 of the world, Project CW.

I do have Games like Once Human and The first Descendant on the Radar but neither really excite me, in the case of The First Descendant it is a Nexon game after all.


A-Bomb obviously goes to Sony, their enforcement of a PSN account may not be too much of an issue for me since I linked mine day one, but the issue is that there are thousands of players living in countries with no access to the PS network. Out of 190 countries where the game was sold, only 65 have access. And let's not forget Sonys fairly eventful History of getting hacked.
