No. At this point, it's more about the message.
The only message you're sending is "They gave me what I want but I'm still holding onto this anger".
We won, son. The war's over. You can let go now.
They were forced to change their mind. They didn't change it because you really really wanted it. They dont care what you want.
If steam hadn't started refunding sales, i doubt that they would have changed their mind.
Damaging their sales numbers is what forced them to change their minds, yes. Who did that, again?
We took action (through reviewing the game and requesting refunds) and made demands, they responded and met the demands. I'm not sure what's gotten lost in translation here.
If you tell somebody "Do this, or else" and they do it, you're supposed to drop the "or else" part, otherwise you go from having a legitimate argument to being a bully. Sony capitulated this time, but that'll only keep up in the future if they're given positive reinforcement when they actually fix problems. If Sony gives in and the response we give them is "Fuck you anyway", they're not likely going to cooperate the next time their communities are in uproar over their next inevitable fuckup.
I'm sure the Stellar Blade community is watching us closely, hoping we don't piss off Sony too much before they make their petition to the King.
Okay, and what do they deserve when they do cooperate?
And what of the people who can't play because they pulled the game?
I assume they're all getting refunds, unless Sony and Valve can work something out to allow the sale in those regions again.
Don't even see why they would need to work anything out, just inform them they've lifted the requirements and can return to selling in those regions
Simp harder for the corporation, they need more simping.
You think I'm defending Sony?
The message is that if they even try to fuck up they get to pay it.
