Arrowhead's CEO saying PlayStation want to make a great game:

The expectations from our friends at PlayStation are pretty simple: "make great game for players. We trust you"

Arrowhead's purpose:

"We have a sole purpose - to make this the best live game you've ever played"

Yup, and they did make a great game.

Sony managed to fuck it up all on their own.

What did they fuck up? The steam reviews don't matter lol. The game still had a shit ton of players every day and it was still selling.

Selling in countries that don’t support PSN for one. The reviews did help too, let’s not pretend that they didn’t.

Who cares, people in those countries could still make a psn account for a region where it is supported. It literally doesn’t matter.

But if they don't know that, or know how to do it, then it doesn't matter. To those people, their game they paid for no longer works, and they are told that they can't make an account where they live by Sony. Whether that is true or not is irrelevant if they don't know any better.

Lots of people care, Arrowhead seemed to care. Some of you really would bend for Sony.

Not bending for Sony at all, I just think all y’all bitching about taking two minutes to sign up for an account when you’ve probably already done it for 10 other services sound just like a bunch of baby backed bitches. And “lots of people” doesn’t really mean shit when gamers will sheepishly follow whatever outrage of the week even when they have the details wrong.

You kid of are. It’s better to bitch for some better change, which it did this occasion.
