Day one updates and DRM checks introduce extra difficulties when trying to game offline, even if you still purchase physical media.

Would be great if Sony took this as a lesson learned to ditch DRM like this, and make the PlayStation more “offline friendly”.

Right now would be a good time to make suggestions to them.

They did it to to Helldivers 2 and now this… Have they done it to any other games after sales were made in those countries?

Probably summarizing Zoom/Teams meetings and picking out action items for people to follow up on.
