Jesus. This is just a circus of incompetence. Doesn't matter who is footing the bill. If you push the bill on the distributor/install service it means those streams will be less likely to embrace indie devs and especially new indie devs without a hit under their belt. So same chilling result.

Did they not learn from watching Sony delist Cyberpunk after CD Projekt Red told consumers that Sony would give them a refund?

The answer seems to be no. I'm anticipating Sony, MS, and Nintendo's response on this. Did they even know about it? I'm very curious to see how this pans out because at this viewpoint it seems like an entire shit show.
