Is that what happened to Musk, Trump, Putin, etc.? They got decanted from the tubes too soon? I mean, that makes sense, but why not just let it wither on the vine at that point? Shareholder pressure? Curious.
I’ve been playing through all the numbered games and its been great. I could write an essay or two on any of them. In general I’m only including base games and no expansions or DLC so it wouldn’t be a huge undertaking to beat 11, but I’m trying to see if it’s worth it from others who have done the marathon....
how much money was refunded. Doesn’t even get into the number of buyers they are excluding.
The personal data of each player they do coerce into signing into PSN is far more lucrative than said game sales. Sony is into gaming as much as Santa is into manufacturing toys, FFS. 🤦🏽♂️
The “argument” is to set precedent for denying refunds when they attempt to force users to sign into PSN before playing. Before, the simple fact that this was not made clear at point of purchase is a breach of contract on the part of the seller, and grounds for immediate refund of the improperly described terms of use. 😶
Assuming you’re not high as balls, please cite your sources. Additionally, by implying that each individual “person” is not already commodified as a body of data in a collection of similar is woefully naive. I know it’s a common desire to weigh in on topics and feel that one’s contribution is valid and worthy, but please look into this subject further before pulling sentences like these outta your ass. 🤪
The community manager (that you somehow failed to name?) was known to be combative and derisive toward users in forum posts and was already leaving a bad taste prior to this recent event. His “24hr redemption arc” had nothing to do with SONY or Arrowhead’s actions on the issues at hand. Don’t conflate the events.
Stay vigilant. Sony’s still looking to profit at all times.
The irony has layers. Sad to see, and I should’ve anticipated it, but… I still had hope for the species, I guess? Ho hum. Back to inevitability, I suppose.
For now… 🖕🏽 They worded that so weasely, they’re just waiting for the storm to pass and for Legal to come up with some compelling reason why they’re totally “obligated” to make it happen, “hands tied” “so sorry” and all that.
Fuck Sony. They made this SOP way back when, and there’s no way they let this stop them forever. It’s all about profit, not what “we” want.
It’s all a fucking smokescreen. Man, people just eat that shit up. Every time. It’s almost like the game is saturated in satire and we’re spooning it down ourselves.

Same. I snuck through the Withers temple and found myself in the Underdark. While admiring the vista, some minotaur ran up a side path and got vaporized by some statues, so I was about to turn around, but pushed on a little — straight into that ambush. Being around 4th level, and decades of D&D under my belt IRL, I could guess at my chances. When I reloaded, I ended up taking the main path through (was at the gate when the minotaur did the same kamikaze run) around 6th+ and had a decent time of it. The Underdark is not for sub-5th level parties 🤪
