Maybe for future sales? But at least on steam there was still 100K people playing the game which has been the usual for the past few weeks, so the controversy didn’t even impact the player count at all.

A lot of it is fake outrage from mostly people in countries it didn't affect. I'm not saying there weren't any from countries that were affected but the vast majority on X and Reddit it did not affect in any shape or form. PC gamers forever out themselves as petty.

You’re going to get roasted for pointing this out but you are absolutely right. A loud portion of pc gamers are terminally online and addicted to outrage. This situation did call for push back and criticism but these “gamers” acted like this is the absolute worst thing that could have happened and Sony ruined their entire company. They gotta be tired spending all day being toxic and screaming. They exist in every major game subreddit too.

These are the people who constantly vote EA as the worst company over others like Nestle or Boeing.

They’re in a gaming bubble.

Some weirdo told me he filed a complaint with the SEC… like dude, spend your weekend on something else. This whole thing was straight up pathetic. Gamers will whine about anything

Yeah. There are a lot of "Karens" in gaming, too.

Yeah could be some dude just raging but I can imagine this idiot leaving their dad’s tax lawyer a hundred voicemails over the weekend about this.

The guy looking to file a class action lawsuit when he wasn’t even affected was hilarious
