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

    What a terrible mess that would have been solved by blocking the purchase from countries without PSN from the beginning and through better communications…

      The whole thing is a crap show from the start. I mean selling to places Sony knew couldn’t get a PSN account, putting PSN as optional for months, and then making it mandatory after all of this was just a hellbomb waiting to explode.

      They should have just left it as optional and disabled cross play of you didn’t in my opinion.

        Disabling crossplay is a good idea, anyway. PS5 teammates tend to be a lot worse than PC ones. I started getting vastly better teams when I turned it off.

        Shame I won’t be getting any teams whatsoever now, since it seems like Valve is honoring refund requests regardless of playtime.

        What a wild case study in earning good will and success only to immediately burn everything to the ground and salt the earth. It’s bonkers, man.
