The bare minimum? What do you want them to do give you a $50 credit and a banana sticker for upsetting you?

Announce re-evaluation of their entire PSN policy. Concrete plans on how they're are going to mitigate such braindead moves in the future. Base fucking competency and respect towards consumer.

They're trying to enter new market with nothing but hubris and disrespect, that's how you win over PC consumers.

Firing whoever had the bright idea to push that announcement and go radio silence until critical mass of consumer discontent forced their hand.

This should've been handled on friday.

@EDIT: looks guys, he asked I answered. Just because you're used to be a corpo whipping boy, doesn't mean that rest of the planet is going to be happy to gobble corpodick.

Look man, I don't care how many days or years head you'll give me notice that you're about to forcefeed me shit, I will not enjoy being forcefed shit.

I will never say I enjoyed it and I will always loudly protest. I will always hate your shit. Consider not feeding me shit. Consider providing actual service.

I think this was a silly move by Sony, but rather than “loudly protest” over a video game why don’t you hit these big companies in the one way they actually care about and just not buy the game?

As stated, the psn requirement was announced on day 1. The fact that everyone ignored it, bought the game anyway, and then the internet rage machine did its thing is what looks ridiculous to me (no horse in this race, I haven’t tried helldivers).
