I did my part. Reviewed it negatively on both Steam and PSN. Even if I can link my account, I don't think it was the right move by Sony to implement it in a mandatory fashion post-launch, despite the Steam page clearly stating that a 3rd-party account link was required to play HD2. If they didn't want any backlash Sony should have made it mandatory day-1. Simple as that.
Now I'm more curious about the situation of all those countries that are not PSN-supported that had the game removed from Steam.
Will Sony offer refunds to those who bought the game in said regions, or, will they just backpedal to the old status quo before this situation came to be?
