>>10979488They added mandatory linking of a PSN account to keep playing the game on Steam (well are adding, in a couple weeks).
Not so bad on the surface, a bit annoying. Except when you dig deeper, there are well over 60 countries in the world you cannot make PSN accounts in, but that you could already buy this game in. So those people would literally be locked out of their game.
One community manager basically ended up saying, "well tough shit do it, or try for refund".
Then Sony the other day tried to sneakily change their TOS from "sony published games will have a voluntary PSN linking procedure" to "some games may have mandatory PSN linking" a couple days AFTER this shit storm already started.
And then yesterday instead of allowing any backtracking of this, Sony delisted the game for sale from all those countries that cant do PSN accounts.
Steam is at least allowing refunds even well beyond usual play time limits now though.
So basically they've taken what was just reported as the 7th best selling playstation game ever, that had massive goodwill behind it and was being touted as THE way to do live service games and then crashed the goodwill plane with no survivors. And likely getting 100s of thousands+ of refunds. potentially million(s) as now anyone can do a refund, so you'll have tons that played the game a lot and are bored just using at as an excuse, the tons of people directly affected and then the huge amount who are taking a stand against it.
>>10979490Yeah its straight up comical in a sad way how fucking retarded companies can be.
