Right now, Sony has yet to update the Steam listing to remove the PSN account requirement or the region lock out. Don't update your reviews to positive yet. Talk is cheap and all Sony has actually done it put out a statement to appease fans and stop the damage.
Or better yet, never update your review because fuck them.
Game theory says to always reciprocate in kind and always enable kindness.
They punch you, punch back, then be friends
That being said, I question how that applies in this context. Corporate leadership doesn’t exactly strike me as trustworthy nor worthy of mercy, although that could be a lean toward cynicism on my part.
If we don't change reviews back then they have no reason to keep their word. Lose lose
We do change reviews back they have good reviews and need to keep their word to ensure this doesn't happen again. Win win
We change reviews back they lie, we just change ours back to negative again and go about our days. Lose lose
You've got that backwards.
They've been convicted in the court of public opinion. This reversal doesn't make them innocent of their crimes, but it does justify reducing the sentence to parole.
The black mark stays on their record, but they have the opportunity to start rebuilding trust. If they want good reviews on future titles they need to avoid squandering the chance to prove they deserve them.
