You always do, be careful who you enter business with because once they fuck up you fuck up. I'm tired of treating devs like they're toddlers that daddy publishers keep leading down the wrong path, they're not fucking babies they're adults and if they decided to tie themselves to ill reputed companies when they have to do some retarded corpo choice they should also get the same facefull of dick the parent company does.
What's funny is that Arrowhead was fucked over by Paradox when they were making their first game, Magicka, losing rights to the franchise, with their baby ending up in the hands of an incompetent developer as a result, who fucked up the sequel that Paradox mandated. That and getting shafted on profits.
Now Sony is walking over them, squandering a ton of good will Arrowhead rightfully earned. But it was due to AH's own stupidity that they entered this partnership in the first place.
They knew about PSN requirement 6 months prior to release. Did it never occur to them that half the globe doesn't have access to it, and that adding extra hoops to jump through increases barrier to entry and would inherently cost them not an insignificant amount of potential customers? If they weren't forced to turn off the fucking thing on release in order to let people actually play, this might've all been a lot different, not in a good way.
I guess when you're a privileged 1st world inhabitant, things like that don't cross your mind.
Sony forcing this shit on them was always going to have negative consequences for the studio and their game. There's no valid reason for this PSN bullshit, it's all Sony's ulterior motives and nothing else.
Holy shit I'd buy this lol
If they make it a reward for voluntarily linking your Steam account to PSN, it would be a 10/10 shitpost
hold on, if the psn requirement was there from the start but technically unfeasible at the time of launch, why did Arrowhead sell the game in countries that can't make PSN accounts?
These retards just didn't think it through I think, the situation was gravely mismanaged.
