Whether you're a gamer, a digital product user, or a photography enthusiast, you'll always see memes that say "Sony is so guilty that people complain!" and "Sony has died".
In recent months, players and friends have petitioned websites, social media, and official Twitter several ways to enter the Great Flame, if you haven't figured out why everyone has such a big malice towards Sony Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd. SIE, today the game circle melon cutter Guo Niang will talk about the latest and most IN "Suo Suo brand moth".
>>> after the explosion of the "friendly forces" game, what should the official do?
Recently, "Hell Submarine 2" has become popular, and it is incredible, and the "Accidental Injury Friendly Army Simulator" has directly captured Chinese and foreign social media. Since its release, Steam has more people online than all other PC ports of SIE combined, and it's undoubtedly the most successful of SIE's long-term games!
If you're a senior executive, what's the next step?launch more benefits and new content?NONONO, why is it so vulgar & conventional, we have to do something different. On May 3rd, Hellrunner 2 developer Arrow Game Studios published an announcement called "Account Binding Update", which mentioned that the publisher SIE requires all players on Steam to link a Sony PlayStation Network account from May 6.
For example, Ubisoft already needs to bind a Ubisoft Store account to play its games on Steam, and some RockStar works also need to download the R-Star Store. However, "Hell Troopers 2" is a "backtrack", players do not have a mandatory binding requirement when purchasing, and suddenly they can't play the game they bought with real money without a PSN account?
In fact, after the announcement, there are still many players who are willing to pinch their noses and bind their accounts, after all, they have to eat and play the game. It's a pity that after trying it in person, the national server PSN didn't put this game on the shelves at all, although in fact, most of our players can choose to bind the Hong Kong server, but for players in some countries and regions, the binding channel really doesn't exist!
Subsequently, the CEO of Arrow Game Studios said: "Sony has asked for the removal of Hellrunner 2 from 177 countries and regions where PSN is not accessible, and I am doing my best to speak for the community, but we do not have the final say on this. "What does this mean? Directly backstabbing players in their vital interests! Although some players were quickly notified that refunds were available, one can't help but wonder if Sony SIE is too easy to make money?
>>> Great Flames! Cool Battle!
As the incident further fermented, the Steam comment section of "Hellstealer 2" completely collapsed, adding nearly 200,000 negative reviews within a few days, and receiving 94,000 negative reviews on May 5, and the overall evaluation dropped directly to a flood of negative reviews.
The game developer, Arrow Game Studios is one of the biggest victims, and the most bitter is obviously the large player base. Because of SIE's short-sighted decision-making, many indie game developers also voiced their opinions: "That's why don't just sign up with big publishers, they don't think about the quality of the game and the gamers at all, and money and traffic are the only KPIs." ”
"As long as Hell Trooper 2 continues to be updated as it has been for the past 4 months, even if the number of PSN-bound users increases, these players may not buy a PS5, is it important to have a false boom?"
There were countless speeches like this, and the community didn't stop charging, with both game developers and official SIE accounts being bombarded with comments.
Thankfully, thanks to the surprisingly united community, SIE eventually relented, announcing on May 6 that the plan to force a PSN account link had been withdrawn, saying, "We're still working on what works best for PC players, so your feedback is invaluable." Thank you again for your continued support of Helltroopers 2, and we'll keep you informed of future plans. ”
If you know the background of the game's worldview, you must understand why the players who won the battle say that it is a "victory for democracy"! Although this time the slide came quickly, SIE's arrogance and ignorance once again staggered everyone, and it is difficult to understand why this company at the top of the pyramid in the console game industry has been doing so much to the detriment of others and itself.
Developer Arrow Game Studios isn't a white lotus either, with CEO Pilestedt saying, "We knew six months before the launch of Jedi Diver 2 that online games had to be tied to a PSN account. "But apparently no player has been notified in advance, for whatever objective reason or the terms of the contract?
Of course, their staff is at least much more pleasing to the eye than SIE, as Spitz, the community manager, puts it bluntly: "It's painful to see the game's word-of-mouth and positive reviews affected by this, and we're on the side of players in this battle." You have expressed your dissatisfaction through comments, refunds, etc., which makes us more influential in our negotiations with Sony. He almost lost his job, but the next day the Bro said, "It's almost the same as being fired, but not quit," and sincerely wished him a better job.
>>> incident is over, there are still many good people among the players
Regardless, the player base is still filled with more genuine good people, and once that goal is achieved, everyone is heading to Steam to change their previous bad reviews. On May 6, the number of positive reviews soared by more than 60,000, and now the overall rating has risen back to mostly positive. It's unheard of for a game to have such a big gap in reviews in such a short period of time, and I'm afraid it's enough to be counted as a big Steam event.
In addition, today there are players who have designed a cape called "Prodigal Son" with an exaggerated positive/negative review comparison graph. Although it hasn't been implemented yet, the creative director of Jedi Trooper 2 has retweeted the design, saying, "Cool! If it can be implemented, it will be free." ”
Although I still want to complain, you are not ashamed but proud of it, right? But after all, it is also considered "gold is not exchanged", and the rest of the criticism will be left to SIE. After all, there is no problem with the quality of "Jedi Submarine 2",It's really fun to hurt each other,It's really the favorite game to open a black with friends at the moment!By the way, Shanguo Mall can enjoy a discount for this coupon immediately,After the coupon, it only takes 178 yuan to enter the warehouse,Friends who want to enter the pit come to Shanguo to buy it more affordable~
>>> players twice in a month, SIE really has you covered.....
If you think that this is the end of SIE's rebellion, then you are very wrong! Recently, the SHIFT UP studio founded by Kim Hyung-tae, the former art director of "Sword and Soul", announced the new work "Star Blade", which is temporarily exclusive to the PlayStation platform, so it is not less than a moth.
If you've read a little bit of the promotional materials for Star Blade, then you must know the game's selling points well, and sexy female characters are undoubtedly the biggest driving force to guide consumption. Before the game's release, Kim Hyung-tae swore that "the game released in all regions will be a unified non-harmonious version, including the day zone." "Everyone knows what happened later, the pre-order and initial sales of the game are very impressive, but on the day of the official release, the update patch was quickly launched, and many sexy outfits in the announcement were harmoniously harmonized in the actual game.
Combined with the above story of "Jedi Submarine 2", SHIFT UP Studio has obviously been arranged by Sony in advance, although it has to be from due to the contract, but I want to ask, who did you learn from the marketing idea of concealing the fact and selling goods first?
While Starblade players have also fought the fray, with the number of signatures on the petition site wanting to roll back to the discordant version surpassing 75,000, it's still unclear how the developer signed terms with the SIE, and the PSN store's rating system is far less intuitive and important than Steam's......
Acting as a demon twice a month, and backstabbing the player's vital interests together, SIE really has you! Now that "Jedi Diver 2" has won a phased victory, but where am I going to make up for the lack of nutrition in "Star Blade"? I want to ask...... So，What can i say，Players are good people。
