    They should not be getting praise for walking this back. It was ridiculous from the start, and if not for the justifiably overwhelming negative response, they would have just done it. The absolute most that should happen is people stop giving them shit for it

      There is something to be said about the devs going to bat for the players, though. They stood up to the big bosses and won. Ain’t nobody praising Sony.

      If reviews don’t flip back to positive in response (seeing as they only went negative in anticipation of this policy being enforced), then we have no way of indicating our dissatisfaction next time Sony do something undesirable.

        1. 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.

        2. Stay vigilant. Sony’s still looking to profit at all times.

      Not to mention Sony probably got a lot of new accounts registered and linked in these few days, so they already got what they wanted and walking back doesn’t change much…

      Oh for fuck sake, let people be happy. I’m happy with the decision, very happy in fact.
