Here is the director of the latest DA game, a self professed "queerosexual gendermancer"

Good luck DA fans, won't be surprised if what you get is more like a fetish simulator than a D&D type RPG.
Nothing to do with dodgy financial engineering and round tripping money between related parties.

Leaving aside the very large contingent of Steam purists who will not entertain any other storefront at all, I buy from whichever shopfront or authorised reseller is cheapest, but as far as I am concerned Steam offers the best user experience in terms of chat and community features.
If it has native EDID support for 5120x2160 and can be bought from local brick and mortar stores (unlike the Neo G9 which is only available direct from Samsung in my region - no ways I am dealing with their bullshit) then I will be up for it or the Acer Predator Z59.
That horse bolted years ago.....you don't think Sony is taking cues from Ubi, EA, Blizzard, Bethesda and Take 2 which all imposed their secondary layers of DRM on top of Steam with little to no resistance from users? They can see gamers collectively are too spineless to resist shiny new objects...

Still rocking the original X34 waiting for a decent 5K2K monitor, but maybe I need to upgrade to this as an interim solution.
I don't think those lost sales help, but it is more the anti-DRM and Steam purists who will kick up a stink and boycott games with PSN requirements. I completely understand where they are coming from because I also detest the layers of unnecessary DRM especially when a game is already being sold...
Won't stop me from buying it, but this requirement is fucking stupid. You would think that Sony would have learnt something from the Helldivers 2 debacle...such an own goal.
Going full mainstream now.....probably panic stations at Ubi, expect to see lots of articles in the next day or so from GAME "journalists" *cough* activists *cough* proclaiming Musk to be a right wing bigot/troll/something-phobe.

It is also fascinating observing some people use pretzel logic to argue that the garbage stories, characters, game mechanics and art found in modern games has nothing to do with the weirdos working on them who just happen to hate their core audience and the products produced for them.
Can't disagree that historical accuracy is of secondary importance, especially if Ubi is relying on historical consultants like Sachi Schmidt-Hori 😆
Don't be surprised if they manage to squeeze in some pedo side quests. 🤣
