Nintendo gamers do the same o the poor efforts by 3rd parties, but they still get the fuck you, you guys suck and hate our games no more of our games on Nintendo system, instead of wow maybe we went too far by cutting corners and content, we shouldn't do it again.

Has anything like this happened in gaming before? The whole situation seems unprecedented.

Wow Sony pulled the game from the store!!!

So it seems Sony is offering refunds now and actually pulled the game from the store. Well so much for a decent relationship between CDPR and Playstation.

When you have to combine last gen systems vs an ever ongoing platform, yes, but two of those are now in the past, while PC sales will continue to add.

That's still also factoring in 30% cut from those console storefronts btw.

What I was trying to get at primarily was "who's more important than the other, that you could simply just eventually drop one in favor of the other?", because that's what I tend to get when it comes to sales talk on this site, since it's not good enough to be less than 50%, you've got to be around 70-90% to be at the top and thus be the primary target consumer base.

Another thing is I look at CDPR like I look at Valve, they both started out a companies that made games on PC, they eventually spread out to consoles, but afatg, they both still cater primarily to that platform.

Yes CDPR will spin that PR, and just like what we've recently been hearing from them, I'm wondering if anyone should take their words for granted. Without their first foray into making games, we wouldn't even have a Cyberpunk or Witcher series, had it not been for PC sales in the first place for the first two games.

Free copies afaik wouldn't be counted as "sold".

Recently we've also had the pre-orders split as well:

It shouldn't distract from the fact that Sony has a really bad refund policy.

Warner Brothers Interactive did that too with Arkham Knight on Steam without issues. You could refund the game even after you've finished the it. Taking care of customers who encounter such issues should be a pretty high prio in my book.

Maybe the system could be reworked to allow GOTY, Special edition, etc to have another entry on the database, but truth is most reviewers wouldn't re-review the game so it would be a very small sample and most likely with inflated scores as possibly the ones that go to re-review are the ones that really liked it.

There was a PC gaming magazine that reviewed again some games after some time, to see if buggy ones bettered, if enhanced, expanded special and GOTY editions were considerably better and also if very good, and particularly very hyped at launch ones had stood the test of time. IIRC it was the glorious PCZone, very funny to read, but very serious in its job, only excellent games received more than 90% rating, and they had no problems rating very bad games less than 20% (that made the game also win the special "pants" award).

That is very commendable imho. But do you agree there are far to little games and reviewing outlets that would do it to make sense having another entry on a metacritic type of portal?

Not terribly surprising to see Sony react that way, they hate refunds with a passion.
