The option of offering refunds if the game is returned has also been heavily criticized for not being what it seems. And is that the board member Michał Nowakowski said on a recent conference call that “it will be up to Sony and Microsoft and their current policies.”. In other words, the possibility of return is in the hands of both companies and is not 100% guaranteed.
The first reaction came from Sony which has opted for the withdrawal of its game store in anticipation of more problems. Despite this, CD RED project It is committed to maintaining update patches for those who have already purchased it physically and digitally.
