This has to be the funniest PR disaster in video game history. "Guy did not forsee players getting mad for locking a gamemode behind a $250 edition, doubles down on it and tells people to chill out"

On top of all that the fucking game is still early access.

I migrated my emails to my own domain and needed to change the address on every service. They don't even allow changing the email address for years now, judging by their faq. It's fucking embarrassing.

That's typically an indicator of piss poor database design, where they likely use your email address as some kind of unique identifier

This was the news to me on this whole mess. I knew about Ark but hadn't heard about this one. Shameless.
