Indeed an unpopular opinion but you're missing a key point that Sony, being the publisher, decides where the game is sold. They chose to sell it in countries that cannot create PSN accounts. A huge reason this blew up is because of that fact.. along with their (Sony) response to that, or at least the representatives people got responses from.

Whether it was an accident, stupidity, malice, whatever... Doesn't matter, Sony screwed that up.

Edit: On top of all that the PSN requirement was crippling the release of the game. If the CEO hadn't disabled the requirement to link to PSN the game may not be as successful as it is now.

Honestly the CEO probably saved the game and increased sales, which helps Sony...

6-7 years in development and 6 months before they drop this requirement that does little to nothing except inconvenience the customer, not to mention Sony's track record with data breaches...

Give me a break. Greed did this. Sony's greed. Nothing else.

I urge you to reconsider. That review hurts Arrowhead way more than Sony... which is unfair to the team that put their heart and soul into the game.

It is very clear that the CEO cares a lot about this game, and I'm sure many, if not all of the devs that worked on it care a lot about it... And that to me means a lot more that trying to "stick it to Sony". Yes, the CEO knew about the account linking but he wasn't aware of all the limitations that come with it (i.e. the country limitations). SONY is also responsible for the countries the game is being sold in.

Amazing news. Already changed my review! Can't wait to dive back in tomorrow.

Open a ticket but don't use the "I want a refund" option. Choose one that will require a human to look at it.

Oh, I use both, I was just poking fun. That being said, I unfortunately I don't feel comfortable trying to get my parents on Linux... or even friends.

Most people just want things to work and won't do any sort of troubleshooting themselves. "It just works" is worth the intrusiveness that comes with Windows.

And Linux fanboys will get up on their high horses while googling how to fix their driver issues.

The uniformed virtue signaling is strong with this one...

All of the "butchering" is optional. Believe me, the game makes it much easier to set up a berry patch that auto-feeds everything in your base, rather than manually butchering everything.

And... Normal Pokemon is enslaving as well. You're literally catching them and forcing them to fight each other to the brink of death. Just to recycle the rhetoric of the crazies 20-25 years ago. It's akin to dog fighting. You're also a child in Pokemon..

Come on, at least try to make a good argument.

FWIW, I tried to like Craftopia and it didn't click, but I'm really enjoying Palworld. If you enjoy Pokemon you should be able to get your money's worth.

Actually looks good. Let's hope it's not a clunky mess.

Man, I love Valve.

FWIW Jerboa looks the same as what Sync shows
