I’m a PS5 player, so I can’t make an impact, but if you did write a negative review (thank you, you made this happen ❤️) please consider taking the time to change it! This was clearly not AH decision and the game deserves an accurate review, it’s easily one of the best games I’ve ever played and definitely the best game as a service!
Edit: woke up to new comments, this post reminded… Lemmy is just the same as Reddit.
Edit2: Christ I need to turn off Lemmy notifications, I’ve left this community and this was a stark reminder for me… don’t engage with a specific game community, just enjoy the fucking game!
100%. I hate how everyone wants to completely burn all bridges with people who make mistakes, even when they own up and demonstrate that they understand what was incorrect about their actions. It’s a very pervasive attitude on the internet and it’s leaking into real life too.
Absolutely cut out toxic people and companies that continue to abuse, but recognize legitimate attempts to change and give people credit.
To be fair, this was less of a “legitimate attempt to change” and more “the devs and community forced Sony’s hand.”
If no one changes their review then they did it for nothing and won’t listen next time because it makes no difference for them either.
No, for the next time they should have learned not to so obviously fuck up people games after sales so they don’t get such negative review accumulation.
Next time they will do what they want reviews be damned because they already have your money
Most people will never buy a Sony game ever again.
Therefore, stop giving them money.
Correction, the object of our ire isn’t “people”, but the Sony corporation which has repeatedly demonstrated that it cannot be trusted. This is not a “legitimate attempt to change”, this is a reluctant policy rollback.
