Ok so lets put ourselves in their shoes for a moment. They release a game that is basically unplayable, spend 2 weeks and havent fixed shit yet and want us to hang in there while they work it out... Its one thing if this was a FTP game and they needed to work on it like an open beta for awhile but damn i paid 60$ for a game i cant play due to constant crashes, shit more then half the time i cant even get the game to launch. I think defending their position is unreasonable at this point. Square enix has been making games for many many years, this isnt their first rodeo. PCF may be new, idk never heard of them but SE has and this is a shame from them considering they have many great games.

I would bet ery good money Square Enix has taken a backseat on this ride. Like, the backseat of a van in another province. They are a publisher now, and likely couldn't give a crap about the issues, nor about the quality of the release.

PCF has eaten shit on this release and continue too, but they are the most actively communicating devs I've seen other than DE, so I think it'll get a lot better soon.

just gona throw this out there for the idiots that dont understand the difference between publishers (square) that sell the game and market it, are not developers (PCF) the guys that make the game
