Looks like Arrowhead might be moving forward with PSN despite “internal discussions”.
The more confusing thing is a change on February 8th, where they add a Russian edition to their game if I interpret it correctly.
I didn’t buy it before because it had kernel level anticheat which is incredibly invasive and unnecessary for a PVE game, and now I’m really glad I didn’t buy it.
I wonder how many times I will have to see a publisher significantly harm their reputation in the PC market in a yolo bet to set up their own ecosystem and store.
I thought Sony had been conservative and decided against it when their first steam releases hit but with this move it seems possible that a Sony PC ecosystem was always in the works and it just wasn’t ready for those original releases. Oh well.
Its also wild how much Stockholm syndrome console players have for their corporate overlords, where they think that having a purchasing decision affecting level change forced on them after purchase is an ok move to make, just because the possibility of it was nestled in the fine print
Delisted in Puerto Rico, part of the US. Amazing.
Also delisted in parts of loads of EU countries like the Netherlands and France.
