Rocked

• Ghost of Tsushima coming to PC.

Sucked

• GoT not available in Estonia due to no PSN and after the recent Helldivers 2 drama all non-PSN regions have been blocked.

Silly move by Sony to force the PSN login onto their PC titles, should be optional as there are still so many regions that do not have access to it. Even worse when it could have been avoided like in Ghost of Tsushima with the multiplayer portion being a completely separate mode.

Paying someone to inspect my 1940-era house for lead because I am having a baby when I could just steal an x-ray fluorescence gun and build my own custom calibration to do the same thing for cheap.
