    I’m not convinced AH was unaware of what account linking would lead to. In the 6+ months they knew about it, not one person realized PSN access wasn’t available in all the countries they were selling to? I think AH did a good job appearing shocked and betrayed by Sony, and sure there are plenty of devs that likely didn’t stand by that decision, but erasing all of the reviews that warn potential buyers of the bad practices doesn’t seem like a smart idea. I think they are capable of regaining genuine positive reviews and community trust, but it shouldn’t be overnight

    From what I’ve read elsewhere AH was aware of the PSN account linking long before the game’s release. Also just because Sony is backpedaling because of the negative reviews, I don’t see that as a reason to change my review. Even if the gameplay is widely praised, I think the negative reviews explaining what shitty practices were at hand should stay for future potential customers. I doubt Sony is done doing stupid stuff like this



  • My big issue with paying for an ad free experience is that there are ads on videos of stolen content, and that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. I have this issue with SoundCloud as well. Random people will upload mixtapes of other artists that were originally released for free, but SoundCloud will run ads over it. It’s obvious the creators aren’t getting paid. I don’t understand how that’s even legal. Even if you argue that the service of using the website shouldn’t be completely free, they are profiting off of stolen content.
