  • Think of it like this: Arrowhead, the developers, spent almost 8 years developing the game, getting funding throughout from Sony, which managed the publishing side of things so they could focus on game development.

    Then, around 6 months before release, over 7 years of development up to that point, Sony wanted PSN to be required for the game, and clearly by release time, that was not enough time to even implement or test that well enough.

    Their hands were tied years in advance, they couldn’t just let almost 8 years of their development time go to waste over one decision by their publisher, nor could they reasonably go against the publisher or get a new publisher only about 6 months before release.

    On their end, they didn’t do anything particularly wrong, unless they could see the future over 7 years before and realize Sony was going to practically pull the rug out from under them with everything in Sony’s favor, a decision only actually made far more recently.




  • Yeah, that pretty much sums up how it should be, and it would be great if more people understood that point. That you don’t have to like or enjoy what someone else does, yet you can still have acceptance for them enjoying what safely makes them happier, rather than rejecting things for being different than what’s perceived as “normal”.

    To my knowledge, that is actually a thing. People with Autism, as well as people with ADHD, tend to be a bit better at some things that people without usually struggle with for one reason or another. Basically just down to differences of how their brain works with vs without Autism/ADHD. And due to those differences being all you’ve ever known in your experience, it’s hard to know what might make something easier for you, as it just comes naturally, while other things might be completely unnatural to you compared to someone without. I can’t exactly recall anything specific without doing some searching, but doing so would probably give some answers.

    Also, side point but I only thought about it a bit later despite it being your first sentence. Something also common with Autism is that it’s significantly easier to tell when someone else has it when you do as well, and vice versa, where people without Autism might not ever even tell unless they’re maybe more familiar with it.
