Have they already backtracked in practice or just in PR?
It would have gone live with yesterday's patch and didn't, so there's significant substance to their statement so far
That's great news. I've seen reviews go from overwhelmingly negative back to mixed. I wonder if reviews will ever get back to normal.
I know a fair number of people are waiting for the delisted coubtries to be relisted, plus the people who don't want to change it back because the fiasco happened. Harder to recover once trust is lost.
So it probably won't make it above mixed again.
I'm leaving my review as is. Sony trying this and saying in their tweet that they're "still learning what's best for PC players" does not instill me with enough confidence to give it a thumbs up.
As you mentioned, it's a lot easier to lose trust than to (re)earn it.
Last I checked the overall reviews were already back in "mostly positive" territory
For now. 🤌🏽
Just PR, it's still not available in all the countries they said they'd restrict it from. (those that own it can play it though). So in some ways it's like they went through with it and no one cares because Sony said the magic words 'you guys win'.
