Helldivers 2 CEO Apologizes For PSN Account Requirement
After negative fan backlash and Steam reviews, Helldivers 2 CEO Johan Pilestedt has apologized to players for the new PSN account policy
You're viewing a single thread.
It's not an apology if you keep trucking right the fuck on along. You apologize, in part, by fixing the problem. Absent that, it's just empty words. Meaningless.
You can't fix a problem that you're being forced to create by your owners.
Sony owns¹ them. Sony says "force PSN log in" and Arrowhead either does what they're told or gets replaced.
- it has been pointed out that Sony doesn't literally own them. They're the publisher and choose if the game ever sees the light of day but since that's legally distinct from ownership: Sony doesn't own Arrowhead, they just have their balls in a vice grip and a gun to the CEO's head. Totally different.
"This is entirely out of our control, and if you want an apology, here are the contact details for the person who has the authority to give you one."
Make a deal with the devil, and the cost might be your soul
They are an independent studio...
Sony is their publisher and gets to force their hands on things.
If they say no they cease to exist on any platform, steam included.
just wanted to argue against your comment that they 'own' them
Is "making something disappear if it doesn't comply" not the definition of owning?
nope
