Was user linkage part of their contract? I haven't seen it. Have you?

If it was, I doubt such a clause is illegal, as you say.

Yes, they have admitted it a hundred times.

Arrowhead knows exactly what they were doing with the lack of communication and are now railroading steam and Sony.

The retailer holds responsibility for selling it in non-sellable markets. Steam knew of Sonys account requirements, it was part of the store page, so why would Steam allow sales in those markets? They have at least addressed that issue on their end now, but there’s still a lot to shake down from this.

For all we know, Arrowhead paid to rent Sony moderation infrastructure month-to-month six months in advance and didn't have it as part of their publishing contract and had to cancel the month and ask for a refund.

For all we know…? We know it was part of their contract for months before release lol. What else do you need to know here? And why are you trying to move the goalposts now that I answered you question irrevocably?
