Signed the contract 6-7 years ago. PSN requirement was added 6 months before release...
And they didn't break the contract even though it had been altered
And they released the game to regions that don't have access to PSN
Sony would have won that legal battle and AH would cease to exist.
The devs could move elsewhere, but backing for people who fought capitalism and lost is less favorable than you think. We probably would never get another Magicka. And definitely would never get another Helldivers, let alone Helldivers 2.
I'm all for overthrowing the system, but AH doesn't have the sway to do anything but hope they can continue making fun games. And I hope they do. That gives them more sway, one game at a time.
I mean working on a game for 6-7 years and breaking contract over that is a bit much to ask. And Arrowhead (DEVELOPERS) are not in control of where the game is sold. Sony (PUBLISHER) is in control of that on Steam. The CEO stated that on Twitter/Xitter
And it was their choice to have Sony as a publisher.
Sony owns the IP, so no it really wasn't.
