It's important that people who gave a negative review over PSN go back and change their review now. If the community shows that review scores will go back to positive after getting what we want, it will make other companies in the future more willing to give up unpopular decisions.
Also the devs deserve a good review score from what I've seen, this wasn't really their fault and I wouldn't want them to suffer any more for it.
It's important that there's a benefit to them giving up something they wanted. If the reviews don't get better after they gave up forcing PSN, then Sony would have been better off keeping the requirement. Other companies would look at this situation, and think that once Sony made the initial mistake, they would have been better off doubling down instead of backing off.
You're wanting this to be an example of "don't make stupid corporate decisions or you'll get punished", but that I'm very confident that companies will still make stupid decisions because they're so out of touch they don't realize their ideas are stupid. Instead it's easier to get good results with situations like this if companies see that there's a way out: to do what the people want and get their review score back.
Too bad with how the devs lied and told me people who complained to leave. They only acted like the are on the side of the players after the shit storm got too big. My bad review stays
They put out a single statement with no action, and everyone online instantly went "WE WON IT'S TIME TO CHANGE BACK TO POSITIVE!" and then a lot of cringy RP about democracy.
