It was a bit frightening for me to see how quickly the mob turned on AH during this fiasco and just how much vitriol and propaganda has been generated on the subreddit like this is any other ingame operation with the associated shitposting… except this time it could very well shape the futures of real people and fate of the company for years to come.
Unfortunately this is the only way to accomplish anything. If there wasn’t an outcry like this both AH and sony would just ignore any criticism and move on until it gets buried and forgotten. It’s a world of extremes and the scales could have easily tipped into the other side, with people rightfully complaining about these shitty practices but getting ridiculed for complaining about just another account or sth.
It’s not fair the developers take the heat for this. We should learn to find the right people to complain to.
Yeah as if they had no idea what’s going on. They just thought they get away because they played the “cool” developers as long as they could
If the high-ups at Arrowhead knew and made that decision anyway, it’s squarely on them, full stop.
Sure, but if I put myself in their shoes, what better options did they have?
Communicate better? Not sell the game in markets where it wouldn’t work. The limitation was something from the get go.
Push their scummy politics at launch so people know what they get into or not.
