Looks like Arrowhead might be moving forward with PSN despite “internal discussions”.

    To be fair there is a lot of speculation that the delisting is actually entirely from steam’s side not sony or arrowhead. Nothing is confirmed of course but the thought is that steam is throwing the kill switch on selling in these countries right now because obviously the publisher hadn’t thought this out and just straight up doesn’t have a plan for it. Valve may be doing this to put extra pressure on the situation drying up sales a little prematurely and more importantly to protect Valve from legal repercussions. Again this is entirely speculation but it makes a lot of sense, Arrowhead and Sony have been pretty quiet.

      Same old shit with everything. A company makes a move that users don’t like. The company just ignores all the flak they are getting online. The uproar calms down and then things continue.

      We’re seeing this more and more. Windows with ads, Amazon adding ads to their prime video account holders. Spotify moving lyrics to their premium subscription. The past couple of years are shit and companies continue to do whatever the fuck they want.

      The cm’s have literally said it’s Sony. Why would there be speculation that it’s steam?

      Edit: I misunderstood. I meant that the whole initiative was from Sony. Kroxx was talking about the delisting in specific. I don’t have any info on that.

        Yeah I’ve not seen them address the delisting anywhere yet, if you have a link or anything please add it I’m trying to stay as updated as possible on this.

        Edit: I also edited the first line, I had written “this” originally and I replaced it with “the delisting” because I can see how it was a little ambiguous before.

          Oh, that the delisting is Steam side? I thought you meant in general. My bad. I’ll edit that.

        Did they say it is specifically Sony that delisted it in those countries? Where did they say that?

          A community manager in HD2 Discord has said that the mandatory account linking is a Sony directive.

          It appears that Steam had delisted the game in countries that PSN is not available in.

      If Valve did it, which I would expect, that’s a smart move.
