What a great advertisement for EDF6 they've made with this change.

[-] tux@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

EDF is awesome. Maybe some folks will hop over to the starship trooper games. They're also a blast.

But mostly I don't think we'll see that big a dip realistically.

Let's be honest, most folks who play this aren't in the discord, Lemmy, or subreddit. They'll login and see the thing, sign up for a PSN and play.

But maybe, just maybe enough folks will review bomb or request refunds to get Sony to backtrack

50k negative steam reviews in a single day is a pretty good incentive to reverse course. Thats more negative reviews in a single day then a fair amount of games recieve overall. Folks were absolutely not keen on what they viewed as a bait and switch.

As for how much it'll impact actual numbers I think time is going to be the important factor, more particularly trending players over time... and what happens on the proverbial D-day.
