I don’t trust Sony to not try and pull the same stunt again, but this time they’ll do it differently.

No trust. Sony will not change, my review stands for the future.

They knew well in advance this was coming.

Heard us? They started losing money

You mean they started to Hear the Sound of loosing Money.
This shouldnt be an exception, but the Standard.

if you change your review back, the message you send is “you can push shitty practices at us, and we will forgive you for trying to fuck us over if you stop trying to fuck us over
its like your in a relationship, and your partner starts an affair, you find out and get pissed off about it, so they stop the affair, and expect the relationship to just go back to how it was?
hell no, you cheated, fuck you
same goes for Sony, we need all the other gaming companies out there to hear this: if you fuck about and play silly buggers, redemption and forgiveness is not guaranteed, so just dont fuck about in the first place
Sony and and Arrowhead are now on my shit list, same as rockstar and ubisoft – as in, i will never buy a game from them again, no matter what the say or do, because we all know they are the smallest pinch of apathy away from doing it all over again

You’re changing your review already?
So they must have removed the PSN account requirements on the game’s steam page, right?
And re-listed the game in all the countries, right?

Nope. They started we finished it. You think for one second they won’t try again.

At this point it’s the principle that matters now. The ole I’m sorry you feel that way doesn’t cut it for me. These devs/companies/platforms clearly do not respect gamers time and money because if they did, this nonsense would have never happened in the first place. I will change my review but it will still be negative.

Why are there 40 threads telling people to change reviews? Some people don’t live on reddit and maybe havent seen the update. Give it some freaking time.

~37% have already reverted their review back to positive according to steamdb

Also can we please top giving attention to that has-been Mark Kern, his band of merry incels have been harassing Arrowhead staff and families

Don’t change reviews. They tried some bullshit and they need to pay for that. Teach them not to try it again.
SentientDust
Eh, the fact they even tried to pull that shit is still worth the backlash
GeovaunnaMD
Its raining money!!! oh it stopped…..ok revert……..hey its raining money again
squirrl4prez
I’m just sitting here where people with 125k people with less than 8 hours played and about 25k with less than 2 hours probably returned it and will not fix their review
Siriblius
Probably since Steam started honoring refunds, it meant they started losing money and that’s the only thing they heard. I’d still be very very wary of Sony backtracking once everyone moves on from this.
That’s not to say that negative reviews should stay up, we should all remove them asap, but it’s going to take a couple days.
poopsex
They haven’t reverted any changes yet… They just SAID they would
Notafuzzycat
Why would you change it ?
That’s not how it works.
maryisdead
I just feel for Arrowhead. Can’t imagine they had this shitstorm in their books.

We go a fictional power here, they saw that they’re losing money, and projectiona were not good, and just came back on their decision.. It’s just a a bias that we did something to change their mind.. Their portfolio changed, that’s way they decided to go on their previous direction

If steam wasn’t the goat and honored refunds, nothing would have changed. Sony would never have backed down, but I can tell you this, I forsee a future of less and less sony published games coming to steam.

And we are learning why it’s important not to do stupid shit in the first place now, aren’t we?
LazyRaichuu
I’ve changed my review for now.
But arrow head isn’t innocent. They KNEW this was going to happen and they let people buy it anyways.
It’s a great game (unfinished imo) and I hope it continues like this, but Sony and arrowhead are on thin ice.
AHappyGummyWormx
No, do not change your review. Why on earth should we do that? They tried this bullshit and it backfired. Just because they backpeddled their stupid bullshit doesn’t mean they then get a free pass on the reviews. Leave them as is and remind them that this behaviour is not tolerated by the pc community.
worldrenownedballdr
Steam still occasionally asks me if I want to change the negative review I left when CS:GO went free to play.
BustedCondoms
I changed my review but I was still honest. The game has a pretty boring gameplay loop. I say that with 188 hours in game. I gave it a try and it’s not for me.
DtotheOUG
Y’all saying this looks bad for Sony when the only reason they’re doing this is because Arrowhead themselves told people to refund, it’s only going to fuck over AH. Sony probably won’t make shit with them anymore because they’re standing up for us.
