@nikiboo I think a lot of people lost trust in Sony over this tbh

@graf @nikiboo Let's have a little sympathy for the actual devs, DEI on the part of the publisher has completely interfered with their end of the business. Always be careful who you sign with.

Fuckem

@tyler @graf @nikiboo My understanding is that this was a unilateral move by Sony, against the active objections of the dev.

@brokenshakles @tyler @graf @nikiboo I didn't see the devs actively push back on this until the score tanked. The link was supposed to be required at launch, but it broke so the devs disabled it. The link was always baked into their plans, they just didn't realize how bad the backlash would be until they had a mega hit on their hands.

@PunishedD @graf @nikiboo @tyler I heard that the devs were one of the instigators of the review bombing. Rather masterful getting ahead of the matter on their part really.

Translated to: "oh fuck we lost 80 percent of the player base we already lost 90 percent of the peak of oh fuck oh shit damage control now"

Also there's the fact that GabeN saw this and Steam started granting unconditional refunds for HD2 specifically
