Disproportionate response is the correct way to go when deal changes 3 months after release.
These guys are devs.
They don't have the perspective that led to a simple extra account causing people to explode.
They don't have the concept of how often and how tiresome this has become for PC gamers.
It was early Saturday before it finally sunk in how wide-spread the discontent was, and they didn't have much time to re-orient because it was the weekend, but they did call an emergency meeting and put out a public statement apologizing and indicating they're on the customer's side and seeking top make it right.
The review score hit is step 1, and step 1 produced results, how about waiting for a next move before proceeding to step 2 of hitting the wallet?
Granted I was ready to go for the wallet over the CM, but the CM fucking apologized before I got the first denial, so I haven't tried since and won't until I see what happens next.
Text roll in their discord is revealing some really fucked up shit.
Doxing of CM's, death threats to mods. WTF retardation is this over a still-developing situation.
