(EDIT: as of May 6 Sony appears to have reversed course on the PSN link reuqirement)
I'll be giving Sony until Tuesday to announce a change of course as probably management doesn't want to do anything until Monday at least. Yes it's their fault for announcing shitty news right before a weekend, so anyone who wants a refund should request one.
It really sucks that Sony has to come in and ruin what would have been a shining example of how to run a live service game.
Sony and Arrowhead thought they could do a Friday night bad news dump like they do in politics but executives, having no pulse on the common gamer, failed to realize Friday nights are gamer's prime time.
I'm with you, going to give them a business day or two to respond before I pull the trigger on a refund attempt.
Exactly. Such an insane misunderstanding of the world around them.
And I think we’re going to start seeing more and more massive fuckups like this. Because the general mood of people is that we’re being taken advantage of…because capitalism is a base of exploitation that people somehow were conditioned to accept, but now that people can discuss things across time, borders, etc., everyone is collectively tired of being fucked over for money. Even from companies. They gave us small “opiates of the masses” to placate us. But then they came for our opiates.
It's golden week in japan, if Japanese management has any say it won't be til at least Tuesday.
Isn't that the publisher's job? Also Sony owns the game, not Arrowhead. Like if you buy a Toyota and hit someone with it, that's not Toyota's fault.
Unless Toyota didn't install brakes, or released the car with adaptive cruise control that had faulty firmware that caused the car to accelerate straight in to the back of someone. Or some other aspect they had full control over versus you as a consumer.
Are you saying that Arrowhead is in fact in charge of the Steam listing or are you just talking hypothetically?
