Hi. We’re making adjustments and will share the details on Sept 17. Big changes take time, and we want to do this right.
PS Store pre-orders will be refunded on Sept 8. You’ll be able to pre-order again before launch on Oct 21.
Thanks for your patience; we’ll share more soon!

No game suggestions, friend requests, surveys, or begging.
No Let’s Plays, streams, highlight reels/montages, random videos or shorts.
No off-topic posts/comments, within reason.
Use the original source, no clickbait titles, no duplicates.
(Submissions should be from the original source if possible, unless from paywalled or non-english sources.
If the title is clickbait or lacks context you may lightly edit the title.)
Sounds like the right move. A game with a cult fan base like this is relying on positive word of mouth to bring new people in.
Locking 2 factions behind a day 1 paywall when the game already has shaky PR was a death sentence for the success of this game.
I would stress that it’s unlikely this was a Dev decision, likely the publisher wanted these parts of the game nickel and dimed.
For what it’s worth, I don’t think anyone ever considered it was a dev decision. Every comment I saw on the matter was cursing Paradox specifically.
