Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Funny how many gamers fall for their good cop bad cop ploy. Fuck both of them.
Except Arrowhead isn't some sony-owned subsidiary studio, whose every statement is little more than puppetry.
They are an independently owned company, in a publishing deal with Sony.
By sabotaging the product like this, Sony is straight up stabbing them in the back as a business partner.
Sony can survive botching a game. Arrowhead might not. They're being polite, but if I was at Arrowhead, I would be fucking livid with Sony right now.
Their supposed sponsor, a rich entity with more than enough capital, is literally trying to risk their lunch because it wants even more.
The PSN account being mandatory was always a thing. The only reason why it wasn't implemented was technical issues at launch.
