It's not an apology if you keep trucking right the fuck on along. You apologize, in part, by fixing the problem. Absent that, it's just empty words. Meaningless.

You can't fix a problem that you're being forced to create by your owners.

Sony owns¹ them. Sony says "force PSN log in" and Arrowhead either does what they're told or gets replaced.

it has been pointed out that Sony doesn't literally own them. They're the publisher and choose if the game ever sees the light of day but since that's legally distinct from ownership: Sony doesn't own Arrowhead, they just have their balls in a vice grip and a gun to the CEO's head. Totally different.

"This is entirely out of our control, and if you want an apology, here are the contact details for the person who has the authority to give you one."
