Obviously just damage control but they do seem to be “fixing it”. They must’ve accidentally implemented a feature to get and show image from the newest news post (which is often an ad), accidentally tested and vetted that feature, and accidentally pushed it.
Just a heads up, it’s fine. It’s a fine shooter. It’s not more than that, the story isn’t brilliant, the online is a bit tedious (and customisation is limited at best for loyalists and almost entirely non-existent for heretics). The gameplay is fun enough. I’ve got like 20 hours out of it, I would say 14 of those were fun. I gave in and bought it too early 😂
My shit-flinging catapult flinging shit onto your house is a bug, it was meant to stay still, peacefully targeting it with a huge load of shit and never firing.
Ah yes it’s always a bug after massive community backlash. If there wasn’t much, it’d have been a test, and if there wasn’t any, it was always intended.
yes sure it could’ve been a bug, but can we really believe them that it was?
companies are on a quest to pollute our lives with ads, it’s not a stretch to think it’s bullshit when another attempt to do that is being denied with “whoopsie the new guy wrote the code wrong nothing to worry about here!”
I’m skeptical whether it was really a bug or not, but I could definitely see how it could’ve been just a bug given the description in the OP. Could’ve also been a “happy accident” they were hoping nobody would complain about.
you don’t get entire functional UI elements accurately populated with appropriate data out of a “bug”. at best its a feature that was being tested internally and never would have made it past that, at worst its something that went live early.
Yeah it is possible he’s accurately, but misleadingly, calling it a bug because it was not meant to be deployed to production (yet). I do not think that’s how he wants or expects people to take it when he calls it a “bug”, though.
Oh whoops I accidentally built an entire ad portal and placed it onto the main page and oh no I accidentally passed it through multiple levels of code review QA and approval, then crap I deployed it to the test environment then prod

Good luck selling your $700 locked-down computer with no gaems but enshittified to hell and back.
I love when people say it was a bug.
Yeah bugs happen.
Bugs don’t program themselves to do a specific function, that’s just called a function (language depending.)
i yearn for a day where these consumer (yes, not customers) stop spreading their cheeks willingly when these corps get ready with a purple destroyer
lol lol we accidentally previewed the future now simmer down idiots
Ah yes totally a bug, something specifically developed to show a very specific kind of content in a very specific location. Totally a bug.
Funny, how all the bugs hurt the players not them.
Remember when mandatory Bethesda account in Doom64 was “just a bug” and then Doom Eternal had it for real?
Oh, good. I was about to give in to weakness and spend money on Space Marine 2.

Bullshit. This shit isn’t a bug. It was purposeful as a test to reception and to desensitize people
Ah yes it’s always a bug after massive community backlash. If there wasn’t much, it’d have been a test, and if there wasn’t any, it was always intended.
Telling gamers to watch out for Hanlon’s razor would open them to too much harsh reflection of their own mistakes.

The community backlash is the bug as far as Sony is concerned. They’re trying to work around it now…
ahhh, companies copying homework from bigots’ dogwhistling tactics? what a brave new world we live in
says something bigoted
receives backlash
“haha guys can’t you take a joke? everyone’s so sensitive nowadays”
Them damn wokies can’t take a joke!!!
Yeah, too fucking late. Already canceled PS Plus.
Don’t you hate it when there is a bug in your code that magically attracts ads? They just appear without warning or reason.
I hate when I accidently spend months developing an ad feature that gets turned on by accident in my ps5.
I’m skeptical whether it was really a bug or not, but I could definitely see how it could’ve been just a bug given the description in the OP. Could’ve also been a “happy accident” they were hoping nobody would complain about.
It’s best to not believe companies
