On the one hand, I’d kind of like this to be a “the damage has already been done” type situation, because screw them for even daring to make such a wild decision in the first place
But on the other, good on them for actually recognizing and correcting the situation instead of just doubling down and waiting out the storm like most corporations tend to do when faced with the reality that they did something to piss off their fanbase. They f-ed up big time, but actually going back on the decision in favor of what the fans actually wanted was the best possible PR outcome they could get here.
Congrats to everyone involved (I mean you and me, the players) for such a massive and united response that we actually got heard by such a corporation. This is a huge and extremely rare type of win that end users usually don’t see.

“Will not be moving forward”
“We’ll keep you updated on future plans”
This is just delaying the inevitable

Wow that actually worked? I thought Sony of all companies would double and triple down.

Nothing quite encourages them like a solid hit to the wallet. ☺️

An actually democratic victory for gamers, now can we delete the kernel level anti-cheat?
No point for me but idk I don’t play public lobbies.

Congrats to the devs and HD2 community, I don’t play the game but I’m happy to see the PSN is gone.
Fuck Sony.

Voting with your wallet works, people. It’s the only language corporate speaks.

This was a good decision on Sonys part. Hopefully the community isn’t as fractured because of this. I want to play the game.

“Hey, we got like a million refund requests”
“But these people don’t qualify for refunds anymore??”
“Steam waived the refund limit…”
And the decision was reversed pretty quick huh?

Optional account is a good idea. Most players will still opt to link the account once the obligatory incentive comes.
Even more will opt to link once the playstation platform comes to PC. This is the whole reason for this right. There is no way Sony is shipping a PlayStation overlay without plans to bring the platform to PC.

Honestly, it’s too late
They have spoiled so much goodwill it’s actually insane
Feel bad for the devs, they just want to make a good game and the publisher once again has totally fucked the golden goose.

I am, impressed! This is not the SOE I know. They deserve to hear my compliment as loud as my complaints.

“we’ll keep you updated on future plans.”
that translates from corporate buzz to “we will try our luck next year when you forget about it”

Better late than never.
That was quick
I DID MY PART.
This is why protest matters.
I’m most looking forward to reddit not talking about this so much anymore. My homepage was flooded this weekend
We did it, boys. Major order completed.
Sorta surprised with this move. Usually these douche bag studios will just double down and blame the players. Hope it stays this way
