Ahh, it's been ten thousand years since a multibillion company walked back from simple but bad decision.

I just wonder if they'll leave it at this or find a way to roll it out slowly and silently in some places anyway. I certainly hope they genuinly learned from this.
Too late, I probably won't buy this game anymore if they're willing to do shit like this lol
Yeah, this and the completely over-the-top kernel level anticheat rootkit for a PvE game really turned me off.
If they tried it once, they'll try it again.
Some of us have had managers like this: implement something dumb, walk it back, try again every 15 months.
If they tried it ones, they'll try it twos.
FTFY
Welp, this is how you're supposed to deescalate a situation. Not by having a CM slandering a public figure that spoke against this.
That's a good move. Simple and to the point.
sadly i doubt they learned their lesson here, they will just be more careful next time with how they do it.
theres probably money on the table here and those are not the types to leave money on the table.
Good. We'll see if it sticks.
Major win for the Helldivers players.
Likely they won't make this a requirement..... But will of you want to do crossplay.
