I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that people who gobble up every bit of ragebait their favorite “influencers” dish out would also use the sponsored overpriced VPN of choice. It’s not that hard to find legit VPNs for around $25/yr. It’s not just NordVPN out there.
And the “fuck you” fee for Americans/Canadians/Brits? It’s called regional pricing. Note how places like Russia / Ukraine / South Asia can get $60 games for the equivalent of twenty bucks.
well nice job ignoring literally everything else i said but alright. my rule of thumb for comparing my purchasing power vs an american is to multiply the product’s value by 15. so you tell me that you wouldn’t feel annoyed if you had to pay 375$/year (ignoring the increased data cap costs that comes with using a VPN of course) for a service that might get blocked at any moment? never mind the scammers that are absolutely littered everywhere.
and the regions that are not supported by PSN probably don’t have regional pricing in steam as well, so we also have to pay that fuck you fee if we want to buy our games legit, unless of course you are willing to risk a ban (which actually isn’t that unlikely) in order to region hop, or get a CD key that was most likely bought with stolen gift card money of scam victims. and steam recently has been cracking down on both region hopping and the price disparity seen between different regions.
yes it’s not the most earth shattering issue on the planet, but at least we get to complain about it online right?

(Also, if $25 is truly 10% the value of their house and they’re spending that much on videogames, there are plenty other issues to be worrying about).
