This happened with Helldivers, everybody forgave them and immediately rewarded them by continuing to play/buy, and then they turned around and stuck PSN account requirements on a tonne of other games. Looking forward to the same cycle happening again very soon 🫡
Good choice. I haven’t really kept up with new releases for a few years as the mainstream of the industry started to feel more and more like a scam, but I wonder if anybody’s ever done studies comparing the percentage of people with short term memory issues, and the percentage of people who play video games – because video game consumers seem to forget getting screwed over and constantly get surprised when they reward bad behaviour lol
