He "doesn't have the final say" because before any of this, before the game even released, Arrowhead signed a contract that stipulated PSN requirement.
He knew from day one that there was a PSN requirement. He has admitted as much, which is nice, but it still amounts to a bait and switch.
Also, to all the people who are like "Knowing where the PSN actually is available is the Publishers job!!!!"
I reiterate: Arrowhead signed a contract. This contract would include this kind of information. This information was not hidden from him or anyone at Arrowhead. He is being somewhat commendable by being honest, but the reality is Arrowhead made the choice to sign the contract and accept that they would only be selling to PSN customers. Despite knowing this, they disabled PSN requirements because they hadn't worked out all the bugs before release. He made his own bed here and I'm sick as living fuck of people blaming it all on Sony.
Sure, Sony sucks, but this is just stupid. It's called "Not reading your fucking contract or doing due diligence for the people who paid for your product and then kicking the can to the people you signed a contract with."
@TachyonTele@lemm.ee nailed it: This dude is in over his head.
If people had read the bright yellow text above the buy button on the Steam store page or the EULA, the account linking announcement would not have been a surprise.
My copy was given as a gift. I don't recall ever seeing a link account message...
I bought from a 3rd party site. I don't recall seeing the requirement either.
