Summary
AngryStellar Bladefans have hijacked a recent tweet about the upcoming indie gameCrow Country.Stellar Bladewas released last month to mostly positive reviews. It’s earned a great deal of praise for its graphics and intense melee combat, butStellar Bladehas not been without controversy.
Shortly after launch, some fansaccusedStellar Bladeof censoring certain costumesin the game. The uproar caused enough of a stir to see aStellar Bladepetition demanding that the perceived censorship be reversed earn over 76,000 signatures and counting. TheStellar Bladepetition is one way that fans have voiced their discontent, but now some have also taken to Twitter to hijack a post about an unrelated game.
PlayStation recently sent out a tweet promoting the upcoming indie gameCrow Country, a survival-horror title that serves as athrowback to classic PS1 horror games. While some of the comments on the tweet are aboutCrow Country, many of them are aboutStellar Blade, promoting the “FreeStellar Blade” fan campaign and criticizing PlayStation. Clearly, some fans hold PlayStation responsible for the changes they think were made toStellar Blade. PlayStation has yet to acknowledge the situation, but it seems unlikely that any changes will be made toStellar Bladeas a result of the complaints.
TheStellar Bladecontroversy isn’t the only one that PlayStation is currently dealing with. Another headache has come about thanks toHelldivers 2requiring Steam users to link to a PlayStation Network account. This decision has seenHelldivers 2review bombed, as many PC gamers are unhappy with the situation. Like withStellar Blade, it’s unclear if the fan complaints are going to lead to any meaningful change, but it will certainly be interesting to see what happens moving forward.
