In a shocking turn of events, game developers Obsidian have found themselves in hot water after players reported issues with the promised free upgrade to The Outer Worlds' Spacer's Choice Edition. Originally announced for anyone who owned the base game before May 27th, gamers were left confused when they were asked to purchase DLCs to qualify for the upgrade on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The blunder occurred due to unforeseen entitlement restrictions and backend issues, leaving players disgruntled. Obsidian has since apologized, acknowledging their mistake, and assured affected players that they will work with them to rectify the situation. In a statement to IGN, Microsoft, publishers of The Outer Worlds, expressed regret for the frustration caused and confirmed that the upgrade would continue to be free for PC players who owned the delisted base game. The fiasco has stirred up controversy on social media, with some calling it a bait-and-switch tactic. It's worth noting that this incident highlights the complexities of game entitlements and the importance of clear communication between developers and their player base.
