About 7 years ago... Friend and I built PC's about 6 months apart, him first, then me. Same ASUS motherboard. 2 years go by and his motherboard just dies. Few months later, mine dies. They honored the Warranty but the RMA process was awful. Little to no communication and it took a month for each of us to get refurbished motherboards back. I have not used a single ASUS product since.
I mean working on a game for 6-7 years and breaking contract over that is a bit much to ask. And Arrowhead (DEVELOPERS) are not in control of where the game is sold. Sony (PUBLISHER) is in control of that on Steam. The CEO stated that on Twitter/Xitter
Signed the contract 6-7 years ago. PSN requirement was added 6 months before release...
Quick note... After typing this up I realized this is more a response to the OP than to you. Sorry for the rant lol.
They knew about it and implemented it but the game blew up at launch and the stupid PSN requirement caused tons of server issues. So to allow people to play they temporarily disabled it. Now, after all this, the CEO was incredibly transparent about the whole situation and was working to get it resolved with Sony.
To me the CEO is a breath of fresh air. He cares about his product and was open about everything going on.
Sony put themselves in this position.
6-7 years of development and 6 months before they drop this requirement? Which does little to nothing except inconvenience your customer... Not to mention Sonys track record with data breaches... And on top of all that the launch would have been ruined due to this requirement and possibly wouldn't have allowed the game to get as big as it is?
Fuck that and fuck Sony.
Indeed an unpopular opinion but you're missing a key point that Sony, being the publisher, decides where the game is sold. They chose to sell it in countries that cannot create PSN accounts. A huge reason this blew up is because of that fact.. along with their (Sony) response to that, or at least the representatives people got responses from.
Whether it was an accident, stupidity, malice, whatever... Doesn't matter, Sony screwed that up.
Edit: On top of all that the PSN requirement was crippling the release of the game. If the CEO hadn't disabled the requirement to link to PSN the game may not be as successful as it is now.
Honestly the CEO probably saved the game and increased sales, which helps Sony...

Give me a break. Greed did this. Sony's greed. Nothing else.
Amazing news. Already changed my review! Can't wait to dive back in tomorrow.
And that made it fun. I played Ark, didn't like it. I played Craftopia, wasn't a fan. But I have way too many hours in Palworld already. They took a bunch of game mechanics and executed them well together.
FWIW, I tried to like Craftopia and it didn't click, but I'm really enjoying Palworld. If you enjoy Pokemon you should be able to get your money's worth.
100% this. AC PvP would be awful for a new player using the limited early game parts/weapons. Think MMO level 50 vs level 5.
Yes an argument can be made to still allow it so people can fight their friends early... but a lot of people would just go straight into it and just be turned off to it altogether.
This is such a great idea. I will definitely be doing this next year!
I think you win the thread. Glad you're still with us. Electricity scares the crap out of me.

Ha. Good guess but no. The prime color is more of a dig at the ending if that gives you more of a hint.
