The dude was historically bad at handling the community - it sucks that he took the fall for this particular incident, but realistically he just wasn't that good at his job.

If you do want to check grey market sites as well: gg.deals

I can vouch for the following Steam key sellers: https://fanatical.com (they used to be called bundlestars and also used them back then) https://indiegala.com https://humblebundle.com https://cdkeys.com Only once did I ever get a Steam key...

CDKeys is my grey market key seller of choice.

True, I was just pointing that out because people keep saying, "well, it said at the start it was going to be enforced, so why are people complaining?" My point is that a) it wasn't completely clear it was going to be enforced (Arrowhead CEO...

good thing its not happening then...

The thing about the verbiage in that screenshot is that it doesn't really imply that it would be enforced to where if you can't link, you can't play the game. It just says later users will be asked to "TRY" to link their account again. Plus...

On one hand, I think that is pretty obvious given how they release these cards now. On the other hand...

Review scores are already back up to "Mixed" - glad people are reversing their negative reviews in light of what happened. The HD2 community seems to actually be pretty cohesive.

Plus the optics were absurdly awful from the start. Now you can't play the game you own and have been playing. Cya, you're fucked. It was such a screamingly obvious slow moving disaster. I don't know what they were thinking. I'm assuming the...

Also worth noting that a strong magnet moving across a hard drive is much more likely to cause problems. A static one, far less so.

Not saying the review bombing had no impact, but I'd bet that the unconditional refunds Steam was giving, as well as delisting the product in 100+ countries from sale entirely, had more to do with it. I hope the negative reviews get cleaned up...

Good call. At least make it worth someone's time to OPTIONALLY do so (free super credits or some sort of incentive), rather than just forcing it on everyone and screwing over 100-ish countries who can't even normally get a PSN account.

Looks like Sony decided to back down: https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1787331667616829929

Seems less profitable when people refund your game, whether because they are pissed off at your decision, or they can no longer okay it due to regional restrictions.

And there it is, the brain dead “politics in my games” argument. Most art is political in some form or another because it is an expression of the artist/artists involved in creating it. Your issue with it is entirely stated in your post: You...

Are you brain dead? She's thin, bordering on muscular.

I am once again, asking you to get your eyes checked. Cherry picking a photo here and there any then complaining about it is stupid. It's a completely normal, very attractive face.

I think the tone is fine - from what I heard, people were just bitching on Discord, where it's going to make zero difference. Also, this is a Sony decision, not Arrowhead, they did not want this to happen by all accounts.
