MODERATORS
That’s an interesting phrase, “getting account linking took a Herculean effort”, so they had ulterior motives in what they were doing? Thats a bad look.
Edit
Arrowhead knew exactly what they were doing with the lack of communication and with everything else they’ve done. This was planned.
I think they meant getting the account linking stuff undone/reversed took a Herculean effort. Guess Sony really wanted it
It was part of their contract, of course they are going to want the company they gave funding to make their game hold up their end of the bargain. Or are you suggesting it’s okay for people to just say fuck contracts and do what they want? That can’t be your point here is it?
So why would they go out of their way to undo/reverse something they agreed upon to do in the first place. They saw dollar bills after Sony let them pause it and have now essentially admitted it. And not surprisingly, people are coming out in droves to defend them.
This is going to backfire on arrowhead spectacularly in the future. It’ll take time, but they’ve fucked up royally in the end here.
This is basically no different than what CDPR did, but this is a Sony funded game so they can’t just pull the game.
Was user linkage part of their contract? I haven't seen it. Have you?
If it was, I doubt such a clause is illegal, as you say.
Yes, they have admitted it a hundred times.
Arrowhead knows exactly what they were doing with the lack of communication and are now railroading steam and Sony.
The retailer holds responsibility for selling it in non-sellable markets. Steam knew of Sonys account requirements, it was part of the store page, so why would Steam allow sales in those markets? They have at least addressed that issue on their end now, but there’s still a lot to shake down from this.
For all we know, Arrowhead paid to rent Sony moderation infrastructure month-to-month six months in advance and didn't have it as part of their publishing contract and had to cancel the month and ask for a refund.
For all we know…? We know it was part of their contract for months before release lol. What else do you need to know here? And why are you trying to move the goalposts now that I answered you question irrevocably?
