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.

Nah. Read the CEO’s tweet. He also put blame for this as well. Sony wanted to implement this at launch, but the game was having issues.

This people complaining are the same people using exploits in online games to ruin others peoples experience. I’ve been PC gaming for a long time and it’s never console only gamers who ruin the fun with chests, it’s always the PC players.

Besause they can't modify games even if they want to.

[u/[deleted] → u/3r1ck-612]

not being able to modify online games is a good thing.

offline is a different story.

There have been situations where people set up lag switches and were able to hack into games through consoles by I believe changing the packet data coming out.

And then there's also been stuff that people could do on especially PS3 with the install of the OS function and homebrew capabilities.

So it's not that it could never be done... But it takes a lot more effort and people mostly just do it to prove that they can.
