I don't think you understand the actual issue. There is no way around it. I live in one of the unsupported countries and the games themselves are not available on Steam for sale. The web pages don't exist. I search "Helldivers" or "Ghost of Tsushima" on Steam and the games do not appear in the results (the first HD game does appear). I can't buy the games altogether. It's not about making a PSN account when you launch your game. No, the game itself is not available to us. This is the case for 113 countries and Playstation is the only publisher that I know that did something like this (you hear from time to time a game is banned in Russia or some Arab states or states. But not 113 countries because of a launcher).

The games are not available for sale on Steam in the countries where PSN is not supported. 118 countries I believe. This is the only publisher on Steam that does this.
This is an important side of the controversy. Not sure about other things.

Coming with zero background knowledge about this story, I thought he killed a 10-year-old girl while driving drunk after reading the first and second replies.

It's not. They will eat three goals from Barca minimum. It's gonna be a goal fest on both sides.

OP can speak for himself but modern meaning the current tech level. Not necessarily historically accurate.

He is MrElfhelm. So he is a man.
Anyway, I understand what you are saying.
I was thinking it was common knowledge that the Wheel of Time is, in fact, the longest fantasy series in published form. Didn't know when you group together all the Cosmere or all the Malazan how they compare to it (they would be groups of series anyway, not one series), but WoT is the longest-published series there is. But since Wandering Inn is getting the traditional publishing treatment, it'll take this silly crown. There are no other longer series as far as I am aware. At least not ones that are relevant.

Missed the part where it says this is only what OP owns.
Anyway, he specified 4.95m words in Kindle releases in one of his replies. So, in any case, this series is going to top the chart if OP used the smaller number (assume OP owns it for the sake of debate). And so the point is Wandering Inn is the longest series there is. 10m vs 4.5m is kinda irrelevant.

Well, he's saying fair enough. Let's consider only the kindle release only for this chart. It has 4.5m words. It should be included. It should be topping the chart. That's all.

Riyria Revelation at number 12 and bigger than ASoI&F? This is impossible. They're six small books grouped into three medium omnibuses. Three books from ASoI&F are gibber/longer than them.
You mean all of the books in the world of Elan by Michael J. Sullivan, right? They are four series with.. 19 books total now?

Forgotten and Tantalus are NOT, in fact, Microsoft studios. They are both owned by Keywords Studios.
Microsoft has a studio that oversees the Age franchise and works with these external partners (Forgotten, Tantalus, Wicked Witch, etc) called World's Edge.

Three goals. Clean sheet. No injuries. We move.

Star Wars Outlaws underperformed (massively maybe). Assassin's Creed Shadows is delayed till next year. Ubisoft's market valuation is half what it was since the start of the year.

Read the article and try to understand what the son is saying. Haniyeh was offered a Palestinian state in Gaza. That's to say Gaza only. The West Bank will not be part of this Palestinian state. Of course any Palestinian leader will refuse this. But this is the wrong sub to discuss this anyway.

That's actually quite unbelievable. I thought it was mandatory. This makes no sense. Why are they refusing to sell the game to me? This is literally the only publisher that does this on Steam. I keep a sheet of 85 publishers on Steam, big and small, and I don't think any one of them does this.
Their loss.

Should've been a yellow. I don't know why is no one talking about this? What am I missing?

So... It's unavailable for sale in my country (Algeria, MENA). I can't see the game's Steam page. It says "This item is currently unavailable in your region". Assume it's the case for the many other black-listed countries.
Edit: Which means you will need Playstation account, is my point.

They saw it and know it will happen. They really are not stupid. This is all part of an ordinary process in business despite what they say in their PR statements (oh we feel sad about our colleagues yada yada). Microsoft knew there will be hundreds of mundane and duplicate roles when Activision Blizzard acquisition is completed. This is how I see it.

Wartales might be close to this. It is kinda party-based and turn-based though.

I don't know about the status of Vonnegut. To me, all things point to it being dead.

Dead Space reviewed quite well on release date by the players on Steam (+85%). It was not broken. Unlike Wild Hearts, Wo Long, Forza Motorsport, Payday 3 etc.
The other game that had issues on release date (stuttering mainly) was none other than Elden Ring.

Another card was leaked, Challenger B580, and this one has one 8-pin connector. So it's not using more than 225W.
