    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.







  • I only recently managed to convince the more reasonable and less religious of my two parents that it’s pretty likely I have Autism and ADHD, given the extensive amount of signs of it throughout my life.

    Though the rest of “me” I’ve had to keep hidden unless I want the more religious and less reasonable one of them to have a field day due to their regressive beliefs. Because, you know, being a Autistic ADHD Asexual Aromantic sort-of-gender Apathetic Furry, (I’m probably missing something here) or AAAA as I sometimes comedically shorten it to, doesn’t exactly line up with their ideals about many things.


  • Also, thought I’d comment from here for this, but I’ve surprisingly adjusted pretty well despite all that I’ve been through. My main struggle recently has been dealing with stress from it, and the Autism and ADHD not making that any easier on me.

    But overall, I’m proud of myself, I’ve continued going through something as horrible as all this and still keep bettering myself despite it all.


  • The term “boy’s club” here is really not generalizing “men” or “boys” as a whole, but rather it’s by its usage criticizing the specific group mentality it describes, that of a group of “boys” who treat women with less respect than each other, or otherwise exclude said women, as in at least some cultures is common from some generally younger “boys” who haven’t really matured past a mentality usually developed from a young age, because they lack the experience to know it’s wrong.
