  • Aside from device ID, or maybe if you’re using a billing address as something from Australia, I can’t see how they would be, you’ve stated location services are off, VPN will mask the ip.

    I didn’t even need to use a VPN in my cases between Canada and the US, changing to an account that was in the region that allowed the purchase was all I had to do.

    That being said if I changed my Canada account to use the billing address of my US residence instead of my Canadian residence when on the Canadian region, I would get region locked I found, so if you have a primary payment method on file using your AU address you could try temporarily removing or modifying it to have a different address

    so AAA typically arrive late

    that’s IF they arrive at all. Many studios/publishers just don’t care about lower hardware anymore. If it doesn’t run on current day hardware they don’t release it for it. Especially with Linux and Mac. The best time to get a release for the the two would be release day, after that it’s diminishing results

    I firmly believe that with the move to ARM, they gutted macos gaming capability past the point of no return. You used to be able to say that you could run compatibility layers on it but, the new architecture makes it super hard to do so. Even virtualizing it via VirtualBox is a pain in the butt on the new system. I’ve just been telling customers if you want any type of gaming support, choose anything but the new macs.








  • Mine wasn’t a selling console, it was a “I’m sure I can fix this” and it was my old original Fat PS3 with backwards compatibilit. Back when I was first looking into technology as a hobby/passion, my ps3 stopped working, me being ignorant decided “lets take it apart to see if anythings burnt”, well I never put it back together again when I was done saying I would do it later, I never ended up doing so, and while I still have what I think is most of the pieces, I’m 80% sure that it is missing pieces, but I also haven’t had the time to do a proper once over on it.
