>dont use your account for THREE years>lose decades worth of memories/saves and moneyhow is this fair?
>>746712734>goys>owning anythinglol
>>746712734They want to turn GDPR on its head, to get enough public support to get rid of it, and have zero protections against mass surveillance.GDPR was made by people long before AI surveillance became apparent, right when ZOG and the shareholders started pushing for data-collection, in order to stop it from happening.As a response all companies of the private-sector who had to comply with these laws made sure to do it in the most overt and obnoxious way to the user-experience, such as these pop-ups you now get to "consent" on cookies on all websites before you can use it. They could've complied by working together with people on an OS level, or chosen to do the least amount of collection that's allowed by law, but they decided to implement it as literally as possible, on the law to "inform the user what data is collected, and for how long" by overdoing it and making us hate GDPR as a result.When companies don't like laws, they make sure to incorporate them in the most intrusive manner possible, in order to shift the overton window against it.
>>746712734>SonyNot video games, offtopic
>>746712734Continuous snoy humiliation rituals these past few weeks, they just keep coming.
Why didn't GDPR say you have to refund the customer for any purchases before deleting their data?
>>746713949So, we won?
>>746712734>>dont use your account for THREE yearsOh man my account is long fucking gone then. Haven't touched a Sony product since 2019 kek
>>746716680>dont use your accountYou don't even need to use it, just reply to the multiple mails they did send you. But you fucking niggers can't read.
>>746712734Several dozens of kilobytes of SQL data is very expensive to keep, please understand
>>746717030It's nice that you can circumvent it, but that doesn't make it okay. I have steam accounts that haven't been logged into for upwards of 10 years (used to do alot of idling for scrap metal) and they're still up and running.
>>746716404Because it’s not a consumer’s rights law.
>>746717030>You don't even need to use it, just reply to the multiple mails they did send you. But you fucking niggers can't read.Why when I can simply get a refund for any digital purchase they've revoked and I really didn't give a fuck about?
>>746716680Same, I haven't touched my PS4 since 2020 or 2021.>>746717030Just like with my Xboner account, I made a specific e-mail that I only used for that (same with every other account service I use) specifically to make my account more secure since no one would know my login details at all unless said company itself leaks it and I haven't touched that account for equally as long either. Fuck you snoy bootlicker.Whats even worse is that this will make sure that every single console in the future turns into lemons after a certain date just because you didn't use it for a while or because [COMPANY] decided to shut down online support for it, every single game you have ever bought on is are not just permanently locked to the console but now literally lost forever for no other reason than "fuck you" after an arbitrary timespan.
>>746718398>spoilerthat's the digital hell millions of goycattle supported and deserve
>>746712734I can't believe Sony would do this to me. I've been nothing but loyal to them for years. My whole life actually. I defended them even when it wasn't the popular thing to do. I knew that if Sony didn't have any competition that things on PlayStation would lead to a new golden age for gaming as a whole.Why? WHY did they do this to me?? I did EVERYTHING they wanted me to do! EVERYTHING!
>>746717030>You don't even need to use itYou're right, I shouldn't have to use an account I was forced to make just to play the games I bought.And if Sony has removed access to purchases I made then under my countries consumer law i'm entitled to a full refund.
>>746716404The customer only purchased a limited license to access the game within certain terms and conditions. There's no product to refund.
>>746712734Haven't touched my ps5 since Pragmata, they are deliberately no launching games so we don't use our consoles and lose our games, those fuckers!!
>>746712734So then what happens to all my save data that's on my console? Does it just wipe?
>>746712734Steam can also do this>digital license cuckslol
>>746712734The invisible hand of the free market will deal with this.
>do nothing>money stolen
>>746712734>Lose my account oh no, I lost access to something I won't ever use again What shall I do?>>746716340Think of the shareholders, Anon They're just trying to make it by sloshing around retarded amounts of money "for a living">>746716470Define "we" and "won"
>>746718520Whats funny is that this is only going to accelerate the death of consoles, Sony seems hellbent on literally nuking their entire gaming division from orbit for some fucking reason.
>>746718721(You)r problem is that you aren't consooming every release to keep a constant source of revenue for the shareholders, Anon.Search deep in your hear- I mean, savings, and do your part
I have spare steam account I gifted a few cheap games for my cousins to share and play, they stopped using it when they all got their own accounts. Haven't touched it in almost 10 years but I'm guessing I can still log in
>"can"
>>746718769And so can GOG but GOG is mostly DRM free so it doesn't matter as much. The one saving grace for this shit though is that neither GOG or Valve have shut down any old and unused accounts, I have an account that I haven't logged into since 2011 that I just tried logging into yesterday for shits and giggles after finding my login info for it in a txt file on my old backup harddrive and guess what? It worked perfectly, I even downloaded one of the 5 games I had on the account and it worked and played just fine.The day Vavle tries to pull similar bullshit is the day the entire gaming industry burns down since they are literally the largest digital games storefront on the planet so if they go down that path it would ruin consumer trust in the vidya industry entierly
>>746712734This has been going on since the ps3
Now post that 1 steam friend who was last on line 3000 days ago.
>>746712734Meh, I won't buy a playstation anyway and I can pirate all the games I had on my account
>>746718967But I don't want to play gas shitNoooooooooo!
>>746712734You agreed to it.
Use it or lose it.
>>746712734This is fine. Inactive accounts can creep up to you in the future, and get you cancelled. Maybe not in this specific case, but it's a good thing to implement universally.
>>746712734It's in the contract FAGGOT, you signed it
>>746712734Microsoft does it in 2 years, Amazon does it , Google does it etc
>>746718769I have steam accounts from 2013 that haven't been logged into since, and they're still active.
I havent used my PS4 in years. Logged in now to see if that was true. I still got my account. These were the last games I played.
>>746723834>>746723902>Unironic snoy defenders yuck
>>746723902>asshole does it>scummy asshole does it>invasive asshole does itHOW MANY ASSHOLES DO WE HAVE ON THIS BOARD?
>>746717030why is sony so evil, steam, nintendo, not even microsoft do this kind of anti consumer shit this regularly
>>746723902>SOME OTHER RETARD JUMPED OFF A BALCONY THEREFORE I SHOULD DO IT TOOlol
>>746713907You are a stupid animalGDPR doesn't protect you from anything, and REQUIRES companies to register and maintain important data for yearsCongratulations, they won't know your advertisement preferences, they are just FORCED to know your name, ID, address... Depending on the services you useImplying the EU would ever do something good without treachery lmao
>>746723902>Microsoft does it I don't think so, my microdick account i used on 360 still worked when i dug it up for pc goypass.
>>746713907>turn GDPR on its headwha? it's literally working as intendednext you'll be telling me that SKG would somehow protect user servers when it literally means corporations are legally obligated to stamp out unofficial solutions to push their own, which means something like the crew revival wouldn't exist, you government stooges seem completely incapable of thinking about laws as having any sort of consequences
>>746712734I thought this was already known almost 2 months ago?
>>746712734Good. Fake gamers don't deserve the light.>>746726038I work in marketing, without GDPR, my company would keep your data indefinitely, and send you incessant messages if you shopped with us 10 years ago.We'd also join that data with stuff from companies like Stellantis who have your credit info, income, your job, your address, your kids, etc.
>>746712734>can
>>746727183Has and oh look every news site is reporting it
>>746718769>Steam can also do thisBut has it?
>>746712734Only in Europe
>>746713907The GDPR only exists so the EU can use it as leverage when demanding backdoor access from Google and social media.
>>746726649I don't give a flying fuck about spam that I will just block and you already do the second
>>746726649>Without GDPR we would do what we already dooh
>>746712734In fairness, who takes a 3 years break from gaming?
>>746729671Maybe he got into an accident or prison, maybe a coma or something.
>>746718710so it's just a rental with no set expiration date
>>746712734this policy is one of those things where they assume that users are always rational beings with perfect information at all times but real life doesn't work like that
>>746729671>get a new console>go back to old console to play a console exclusive or a game from your backlog>...>money stolen
>>746729671someone responsible
>>746729671I can't even remember the last time I signed in on my psn account, probably ten years at least
>>746729671I haven't used my PS3 in over a decade
>>746712734To be fair, I have the same PSN account that I registerd the day the PS3 was released, but yeah, that is EXTREMELLY shitty and should be illegal>have your car in your garage parked for 3 years>towing company steals it anyways
>>746729671I could take a thirty year break from gaming, that doesn't mean you can take my money.>oy vey, you weren't living in your house for a while, so we repossessed it and gave it to some immigrants, no refunds
>>746730810Worse, they just straight up bulldoze your house to the benefit of no one else
>>746729671I do and I'm not even joking
>>746712734if you don't pay the subscription to use your own internet you were already paying for then you're an anti-semitic economic terrorist and deserve to have your games taken away
>>746712734GDPR has nothing to do with this. You can remove people's private data at any time you want. And you have to do it when the person ask for it and you are forbidden from using the data unless you get explicit permission from that person. That's what GDPR means.
>>746713907corpo shills immediately leaping into action against this post
>>746731763Sorry goyim, I interpreted it as your data is to be deleted whenever I feel like it. If you don't log in to your steam account or launch a game in the next 5 seconds GabeN will personally delete your account
Everyone does this. It's 2 years for google and MS email accounts ie everything. It's terrible. I've lost girlfriends over it.
>>746712734EA also fucking does this. Havesn't touched your account since you played ME3 multiplayer on 360? that shits gone.
>>746734883Yeah, and EA is the fucking devil, Snoy is now at the same level or even worst
