The lack of humility in their statement makes me think they haven't learned anything.

Yea, this reads more like a sorry, this was too forced we will do something more subtle in the future. Not an actual apology.

They don't even say sorry. They did not use the words Sorry, Mistake, Problem, Wrong, or Fault. They say the approximation of "We see you're absolutely outraged. We've decided to change our decisions. We are always improving."

Translated: Dear suckers who keep giving us money for half-finished products. We are sincerely sorry, sorry for getting caught. We thought we could squeeze through with this one, but apparently our PC fans are not as gullible as our console fans.

They haven't. Ghosts of Tsushima's PC release is going to require account-linking from day 1 for the online component. The only thing Sony has learned is that the shittiness has to be ready and working from the start.

Yeah but the humility in their actions shows they did.

AFAIK the game is still banned in countries where you can't get a PSN account and also it still ships with a rootkit, so...

~~People were saying that might have been Valve just covering themselves from potential lawsuits. We'll just have to see if it's reverted.~~

Nope nevermind, I was hopeful it was good guy Steam but it was in fact Sony. Fuck Sony. Will never buy another Sony game.

Valve should have done that from day 1.
