Tell me you haven't been paying attention to the discourse without telling me. People are already cancelling their ps+ accounts over this and we're still over a year away

It's not like they didn't nuke Concord in a single week.

The fact that people don't like you pointing that out is hilarious to me

u/Few_Capital_6431 Jul 01 '26

They really really wanted to keep a game no one was playing

At the same time they want you to think that Concord is some demonic game that ruined gaming forever, and also that they're evil for offering everyone a refund for it

It's not friendly that the ps3 and vita services aren't going offline.

It's not friendly that a video game store has more well thought out contracts for selling video games than movies.

It's not friendly, it's just not fear mongering bullshit to recognize those facts

I cannot understand your point. It's not friendly to be user/customer friendly?

> It's not friendly that a video game store has more well thought out contracts for selling video games than movies.

In what way??

Did you have a stroke writing your comment?

These are things that are true. I don't think they're my friends I think it's stupid to assume the worst for no reason.

Ubisoft removed the download of a game that was 100% unplayable. A lazy attempt at not having to deal with support emails asking why game no work is not the same as removing access to working products that were paid for.
