It was Arrowheads decision to disable/not implement the PSN integration, despite knowing well in advance of release it would be required to fulfill their contractual obligations.
It was also Arrowheads decision to partner with Sony, while knowing the terms of that agreement included a requirement to implement PSN integration.
No, I’m not.
I’m also not saying Arrowhead is entirely responsible for the situation.
As I stated above; Sony, as the publisher, was responsible for allowing sales in regions they could not service.
Sony could also relax their requirements, but despite our distaste, aren’t obliged to.
Arrowhead is not faultless either. They created a partnership, signed an agreement and did not follow through with their side of said agreement. They should have had PSN integration working before release, but they didn’t.
Sony isn’t the ‘bad guy’ for wanting what was agreed to. Though they should have been more diligent on the distribution end. (and should 100% be responsible for refunds in regions they can’t service).
