God I hope this thread doesn’t become a shitshow. Here goes:

Jesus H. Covid, people...WHERE ARE YOUR FUCKING MASKS? We’re in an out-of-control pandemic, idiots.

No kidding. Sorry but no amount of post release support excuses the fact they released a broken product.

‘Ol Sony Playstation, always jumping on the gamer bandwagons! Who do these haters think they are!?

They’re lying. From only sending out PC codes, to ordering takedowns of console footage, to not showing base console footage themselves, it’s clear they knew it was a problem, and they hid it.

Putting a pin here so I can come back later to see how having a seizure is unfair criticism of the christ-game that is beyond reproach
