It’s crazy to see Sony kill their golden goose.

      It was really great, but the constant “balance changes” to remove fun and increase stress really outline to us why military fuckin’ loves the game.

      They need their ptsd stoked more than they need a good video game.

        The balance changes are fine. There’s a lot to legitimately criticize here, why bring that up? Playing the game in its own right is amazing fun, in fact, the game being so good is why all of these surrounding problems hurt that much more.

    See, this is why the liveservice model is fundementally bad. Even if they don’t fuck it up on launch, they can always fuck it up later.

    Stick to offline folks.

    Successful launch and so much good will burned in a few days because of greedy MBAs proposing their “brilliant” profit guaranteed extraction strategy.

      How are they even making a profit with it? Does the psn account cost money?

        Might not end up making Sony any money, but I’m sure an executive is getting a well-deserved bonus off the back of that nice-looking bump in PSN account numbers.

        They can steal your data if you’re logged into a PSN account, and down the line the plan (which they don’t want to admit) is to get PC players paying for a multiplayer subscription like on console.

          That data is worth fucking garbage.

          Someone made an idiotic decision and cannot lose face by backtracking.

    It’s clear Sony is a garbage company since at least the 2011 hack in how they conduct themselves. How they have treated so many of their studios terribly. Late implementation of 2FA. Treating people like shit with customer service if you were hacked, or need repairs. Can’t implement basic features with each new console Gen. Can’t be bothered to support their own goddamned handheld. On and on.

    Can’t have shit these days.

    I blame Shark Tank.

    Love watching rich S.O.Bs kill capitalism, but hate the consequences.
