The cm’s have literally said it’s Sony. Why would there be speculation that it’s steam?

To be fair there is a lot of speculation that this is actually entirely from steam’s side not sony or arrowhead. Nothing is confirmed of course but the thought is that steam is throwing the kill switch on selling in these countries right now because obviously the publisher hadn’t thought this out and just straight up doesn’t have a plan for it. Valve may be doing this to put extra pressure on the situation drying up sales a little prematurely and more importantly to protect Valve from legal repercussions. Again this is entirely speculation but it makes a lot of sense, Arrowhead and Sony have been pretty quiet.

Yeah I’ve not seen them address the delisting anywhere yet, if you have a link or anything please add it I’m trying to stay as updated as possible on this.

Oh, that the delisting is Steam side? I thought you meant in general. My bad. I’ll edit that.

The delisting is possibly steam. The idiocy of the PSN account requirement is Sony. He’s saying it’s possible that Steam delisted it to avoid the incoming mass of refund requests.

Did they say it is specifically Sony that delisted it in those countries? Where did they say that?
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 6 months ago
I misunderstood. I meant that the whole initiative was from Sony. Kroxx was talking about the delisting in specific. I don’t have any info on that.

If Valve did it, which I would expect, that’s a smart move.

Same old shit with everything. A company makes a move that users don’t like. The company just ignores all the flak they are getting online. The uproar calms down and then things continue.
We’re seeing this more and more. Windows with ads, Amazon adding ads to their prime account holders. Spotify moving lyrics to their premium subscription. The past couple of years are shit and companies continue to do whatever the fuck they want.
