Ghost of Tsushima ke PC release ko lekar kafi utsukta thi, khususkar Hell Divers 2 ki kamiyaan samne aane ke baad. Lekin, ab Sony aur PlayStation is launch ke sath kaafi badai samasyaan ka samna kar rahe hain. Is game ke multiplayer component, Legends, ke liye PlayStation Network (PSN) account linking zaroori hai, jo sabhi regions mein uplabdh nahi hai. Is situation ke karan unexpected refunds aur gamers mein asantosh dekhne ko mila hai.
The PSN Requirement Issue
Unanticipated Complications
Ghost of Tsushima Legends, jo game ka multiplayer component hai, PC players ke liye PSN account connection ki maang karta hai. Ye requirement khas kar un regions mein badi samasya ban gayi hain jahan PSN uplabdh nahi hai. In areas ke kai players, same price dene ke bawajood, game ke poore features access nahi kar pa rahe hain. Sony ka ye oversight global accessibility ki kamsozi darshata hai aur isse gamers mein kafi frustration paida hua hai.
Sony’s Response and Refunds
Is complication ke kaaran, Sony ko affected regions mein refunds dene pad rahe hain. Ye situation Hell Divers 2 ke controversy ka yaad dilata hai, jahan player backlash ke baad Sony ko kuch faisle wapas lene padhe the. Halanki, Hell Divers 2 me significant public outcry ke baad hi Sony ne apna raasta badla. Ab sawal ye hai ki kya woh Ghost of Tsushima ke liye bhi similar amends karenge.
Regional Discrepancies and Gamer Reactions
Player Expectations vs. Reality
Kai fans Ghost of Tsushima ke expansive single-player experience ka intizar kar rahe hain. Lekin, jo log multiplayer gaming bhi value karte hain, unke liye current regional restrictions ek badi nirasha hai. PSN account requirement ne ek geographical disparity saamne laayi hai jo kai logon ke liye nai baat thi, aur isse release aur zyada complex ho gayi hai.
The Steam and PSN Divide
PSN, Steam jitna globally available nahi hai. Isne Ghost of Tsushima ko ek aisi situation mein daal diya hai jahan ye product alag-alag regions mein alag tarikese present hai. Kuch logon ke liye single-player experience aur Iki Island expansion price justify karte hain, lekin dusre log bina Legends multiplayer mode ke shortchanged mehsoos kar rahe hain.
The Wider Impact on Future Releases
Repercussions for Sony’s Strategy
Is release ka fallout future Sony titles aur unke multiplayer components ko affect kar sakta hai. Concord aur Fair Game jaise titles, jo ek strong multiplayer base par depend hain, significant barriers face kar sakte hain agar PSN account linking mandatory rahega. Live service games ke liye wide regional availability zaroori hoti hai. Bina iske, Sony large segments of the player base ko alientate karne ka risk uthata hai, jo in games ki performance aur revenue ko hurt kar sakta hai.
Industry Comparisons
Ye backlash sirf Sony ke liye unique nahi hai. Gamers ne Ubisoft ke Connect platform aur Rockstar ke launcher ko bhi isi tarah criticize kiya tha, simplicity aur ease of access ko prefer karte hue. Ye broader industry trend gamers ki clear preference dikhata hai: wo apne games enjoy karne ke liye kam se kam rukawat chahte hain.
Potential Solutions for Sony
Making PSN Account Linking Optional
Ek potential solution ye hai ki PSN account linking optional banayi jaye, accounts link karne ke liye incentives provide kiye jayein na ki ise mandatory banaya jaye. Isme exclusive in-game items, special costumes, ya trophy support include kar sakte hain. Aise approach se Sony PSN sign-ups encourage kar sakta hai bina un players ko penalize kiye jo accounts link nahi karna chahte ya nahi kar sakte.
Improving Regional Accessibility
Sony ko aur regions mein PSN ki availability improve karne par bhi dhyan dena chahiye. Service ki reach expand karne se current issues ko kam kiya ja sakta hai aur worldwide ek more equitable gaming experience provide kiya ja sakta hai.
Conclusion
Ghost of Tsushima ke PC release ne Sony ke significant logistical aur strategic oversights ko revealed kiya hai. PSN account linking requirement ne regional inaccessibility aur substantial consumer dissatisfaction ko janam diya hai. Aage chalkar, Sony ko apni strategy reassess karni hogi taki global accessibility aur player satisfaction ko prioritize kiya ja sake. PSN account linking ko optional banakar aur regional availability ko expand karke, Sony apne diverse gamer base ko better cater kar sakta hai jabki apne multiplayer experiences ki integrity ko banaye rakhta hai.
