Are you cancelling you SOE subscription due to the recent news?

SuperMorto · 2012-02-22, 04:31 PM

Yes I am and yes I have!

I had some big plans for PS2, but now every one of them just went out the window.

Well done SOE.

BigBossMonkey · 2012-02-22, 04:34 PM

I have nothing to cancel.

Vancha · 2012-02-22, 04:34 PM

I too had some plans in the pipeline, but now they consist wholly of advising people against playing anything by SOE. When a company cares so little about it's users, every one will get burnt eventually.

You're not going to get me to support a boycott of a game that I've been literally dreaming about for years because of something like this.

This.

We're lucky they still run the original Planetside severs, we're even luckier than that they even decided to make a sequel to an MMO that failed.

Is the problem with gaming today. This is why companies even decide to pull bullshit like this. This is why Activision and EA are so successful. People like you encourage people like them to screw over everyone else.

I'm glad I had nothing to cancel though

But, if I didn't already disagree with P2W and refused to buy anything from SOE for PS2, I would certainly be refusing to pay now.

Wait, if you already disagree ever so adamantly with Planetside 2 you would never purchase anything from Sony Online Entertainment, why are you on this forum? Or are you only referring to their microtransaction revenue model?

Just referring to microtransaction. No news = bad news. (Although PS2 already has a lot of problems just based off of what they've told us)

I don't understand why everybody is so fervently against making new friends and enemies.

I don't need to be forcibly separated from my existent communities to be able to do that.

You already were with The9 handling the Chinese market of Planetside, but nobody cried about that.

Of the communities that come under "my existent communities", none of them were Chinese, so no, no I wasn't.

Indeed, you had to go to some length to even play with the Chinese.

This isn't to say that some may not have done so, nor that some of the Chinese players (who continued playing on the remaining servers after Chinaside was shut down) aren't affected by this, but we haven't heard anything to indicate either.

Have ya played Planetside in the last few years? Then you've played with and against CN players. They are part of the community, just as much as anyone else. Not 1 person said 1 word about The9 "segregating" the community.
