Hoooold the fuck up. So we are indeed dealing with this bullshit DRM because of a fucknerd who jail broke the system to jerkoff with Linux?? I deleted that tweet this morning cause I thought it was too conspiratorial even for me lol wtf

Deleted all my DRM tweets. DRM doesn't affect me and I'm going to stop trying to advocate for others. Back to Saros.

It’s Saros time.

In a shock to absolutely no one… Housemarque has once again COOKED. SAROS is INCREDIBLE. 🔥💪🔥

We've definitely been talking a lot about nade spam, looking at ways currently to tackle this. We'll keep you updated as we look to solutions.

@Septic_Sauce 🤣🤣🤣🤣

- Buys PS5 Pro - DRM kicks in

Pre-Order now! 🔆 playstation.com/games/saros/ #PS5

As we get deeper into Season 1, we've been monitoring your feedback around the current combat sandbox closely. We wanted to talk a little about a few of the topics we're seeing frequently from the community, and some updates we're planning. 💣Too Many Grenades A big topic in the community right now is that it's not a good experience to open up a fight only to be barraged with dozens of grenades. We're looking to push some changes to stock counts and stack sizes before the end of the season. We're keeping an eye on the overall usage of equipment and will make additional changes as necessary. 🪙Gold Ares Railgun The Ares railgun with a Prestige mod being able to one-shot Runners with purple or gold shields is unintentional, and we'll be issuing a fix in a future update. We want it to feel strong and fun to use without being so effective it becomes overly frustrating to play against. 🔫WSTR Damage Nerf The WSTR damage nerf was a temporary nerf and we just released a more nuanced set of changes earlier today in Update 1.0.6.2. While we aren't looking to change the two-shot breakpoints, the WSTR indeed took a bigger hit than we were intending with the temporary nerf and we intend for this change to put it in a better place. It should have similar effectiveness against AI as before the nerf as well have less damage fallout at range. Go try it out and let us know what you think. We appreciate everyone's input, please keep it coming.

@kiwitalkz Look around you: Four out of five people covering games know dick about them, don't care about them, and line our space with trash. You're doing the work, dude; you deserve a lot of credit. Primary sources are the best. Keep it up! (And let's talk on Sacred+ in the near future.)

@AmericanTimdog Tim, you were sucking off Sony yourself 5 minutes ago because xbox executives wouldnt breastfeed you anymore. Non of these companies are your friend. No matter how many times you switch who you shill for next. Oh and yeah, physical is king. Duh

Adam shill on . You and them have zero credibility . You would be on a soapbox screaming about this if it was Xbox. Instead you shill. Thats why you can’t match up.

Liberal logic is mind-boggling. 🤯

@Da7_Tech Most of what you wrote is a revisionist history. This is nothing like the xbox DRM that had check in for physical games and digital games ever 1Hour 🤣 We dont even know if this DRM is a thing yet. Also what $80 games?

Let me be real with you. Sony built their entire brand on one promise: **"We are for the players."** Remember 2013? Xbox One announced always-online DRM. Sony went on stage and said "here's how you share games on PS4" — held up a disc, passed it to someone. The crowd lost their minds. Sony became the good guys. The defenders of gaming. That wasn't a value. That was a strategy. And the moment they didn't need it anymore — they dropped it. --- Look at the timeline. → PS Plus became mandatory just to touch online play → Game prices jumped to $70. Then $80. → PS5 Pro launched at $700. Then $900 with the price hike. → And now — digital games you bought with your own money require Sony's permission every 30 days just to launch on your own console. No announcement. No warning. Just a firmware update in March 2026. They didn't change their values. They never had any. The values were always your wallet. Everything else was packaging. --- And here's what kills me. Sony literally mocked Microsoft for this exact concept. Built a decade of loyalty on that mockery. Sold hundreds of millions of consoles off the back of "we respect you." Then when the market was theirs — when you were locked in, subscribed, digitally invested — they became what they laughed at. That's not a company that slipped. That's a company that executed a plan. --- On PC, no company can pull this. Your games are files. They sit on your drive. No server validates them. No timer threatens them. No executive decision deletes them. You want to play offline for 6 months? Go ahead. Your internet dies for a week? Your library is fine. The company goes bankrupt tomorrow? You still own what you bought. That's not a feature. That's what ownership actually means. --- Sony doesn't have values. They have quarterly targets. If you're still defending them after the price hikes, the paywalls, and now this — you're not a loyal fan. You're an idiot boy. And they know exactly what to do with those.

Vampire Crawlers endlessly staring at me knowing it’s going to upend my entire life, while I need to continue Saros, finish up the Mouse PI Platinum, and haven’t even started Pragmata yet.

@AmericanTimdog Some of the people you mentioned have integrity and will try and get a comment before posting online. Not just for integrity but also to stop them looking like a tit if they cry online for days only to be wrong

Jeff Grubb where you at ? DRM ? Chris Dring ? Geoff ? Be men now

@BellezzaSublime @IGN @PlayStation Your crashing out on something that might not even be a thing. Chill dude

@AdamHarrop @IGN @PlayStation According to this pony this trash from @PlayStation will not affect me. Pretty delusional.

Sony has quietly added online DRM checks for newly-launched PlayStation 4 and 5 games. bit.ly/48XXHXu

@xMBGx There might not be anything to reverse 🙈🤣

Don't forget how Sony within a few days of implementing PSN login requirement for Helldivers 2 on PC, completely reversed course due to the backlash. So yeah, they are listening and they are well aware. Curious to see how they respond to actual PlayStation users now.

@Allexia05 @JakeBaldino @Xbox Xbox wasnt destroyed by sony because of a 30 day check in.. it was destoyed because they wanted a check in for physical games and if you game share they wanted you to check in every hour. EVERY 1 HOUR!!!

@JakeBaldino @Xbox , remember when Sony destroyed the Xbox One over the always online requirement? This is your chance to pull a reversal.

@TrilbeeReviews Dont think 90% of the uk public are nazis who wanna legalise child rape

It's been one helluva week for the Green Party so far. I'm liking this brand of politics where the Greens say something that 90% of the British Public agrees with and then the opposing 10% act unhinged and dig their heels reflectively and expose how out of touch they are.

You can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection. Remembr this gem?
