I think they knew they would get backlash and factored that in.

He didn’t say anything like “I hear your concerns and we will look into them”

That’s because there’s nothing he can do - this was Sony’s decision as the publisher and the developers can’t do squat about it unfortunately

I've heard that their community manager was caught shitting on people who were upset about the announcement. That kinda suggests that it wasn't a publisher decision, or at the very least, that their community manager(s) are handled by Sony. It's possible they may be trying to court Sony into buying the company, or that Sony gave them an offer they couldn't refuse.

Eh, could likely be that the CM is tired of the bullshit. Everyone has a breaking point and a thousand frothing fans is gonna bother anyone.
