Devs (and players) getting majorly shafted by Sony. Make no mistake, Arrowhead doesn't want this either, but their hands are tied. Fucking Sony...

To be fair, they're the ones who signed the deal. Hopefully this is something they can learn from for future games.

And apparently they knew about the requirement, and ignored it.

It was listed on the store page from day one. It was put in front of your face the first time you launched the game. It was only made optional temporarily due to the overloaded servers on launch day. This was said, though not clearly enough for people to realize before now that the PSN account being optional was only temporary, it seems.

My money's on Arrowhead not knowing that PSN accounts are only available in specific regions and countries. Otherwise, none of it makes sense. This was always going to happen if they knew and did it anyway, and why would they torpedo their dev studio with the refunds like that.
