Negotiations?
Did they ask customers before making the change? Did they prevent sales in countries that don't support PSN?
That wasn't a negotiation, that was them taking a decision and going back on it when they realized people were angry and started refunding the game. You're not negotiating with a hundred billion dollar company, you're hoping they'll feel generous enough to give you a candy before they strike back again. The wording of their announcement makes that extremely clear.
So to provide a little context. Arrowhead was negotiating with Sony at the time when the announcement was made and everything was uncertain. The developers basically asked us to voice our opinion through leaving ratings/reviews which we were happy to do. Arrowhead was then able to use this as fuel for their negotiations with Sony to prove that players were dissatisfied with this decision. Sony backed off and now we can continue to support the game by flipping our reviews back.
Besides, if you don't put your review back to the way it was before, you wont have ammo for the next bad decision that Sony tries to force onto Arrowhead.
If you really don't want to put your thumb back up, at the very least you could just delete your negative review.
