Is there any knowledge as to whether Sony made this call, or Valve? If Sony, clearly a sign that they're not gonna change their mind about the PSN requirement, but where will that leave the people in those countries that already own the game.
Could see Valve doing it preemptively as well because why would they allow Sony to sell this game on their platform in countries if they're just gonna take the game away from the people who bought it.
I don’t think anyone has really hard evidence on how exactly things went down at this point, but I believe Sony owns the IP, so it’s very possible Arrowhead’s hands were tied on the matter.
Sony presented the terms, Arrowhead agreed. They are just as responsible.
