Hi. We’re making adjustments and will share the details on Sept 17. Big changes take time, and we want to do this right.
PS Store pre-orders will be refunded on Sept 8. You’ll be able to pre-order again before launch on Oct 21.
Thanks for your patience; we’ll share more soon!
For what it’s worth, I don’t think anyone ever considered it was a dev decision. Every comment I saw on the matter was cursing Paradox specifically.
