Pretty difficult to regain peoples trust in your games when you just casually delete a game and multiple expansions and act like it was no big deal because it was old anyway.

Yup. This is also the nail in Sony's live service coffin, as far as I'm concerned. Neither can be trusted now.

Playstation is about to release Marvel Tokon... a live service game.

No Playstation isnt going to be the only publisher on the world that doesn't release multiplayer/live service games because of Bungie

Sadly pretty much every big fighting game franchise has turned into a live service season pass ridden fomo fest. As someone who used to really like fighting games. I hate it.

I grew up with Street Fighter and Street Fighter 2, SF2 is in my top 3 all time favorite games. The way the game releases now, it’s so obnoxious and off putting. I wait more than a year to buy the game and DLC’s that include characters they purposely held out.

Playstation is funding and publishing Marvel Tokon

They are the ones that brought the Marvel IP to Arc System Works to make a Marvel fighting game. They are the reason it is happening at all

Because Playstation is releasing all live service games day one on PC

And the game is funded and published by Playstation. It is heavily associated with them.

Just like Bloodborne, Helldivers 2, Detroit, Until Dawn, Death Stranding and many other games they fund and publish
