    It's easy to improve the game for existing players. All those who were pissed off left already and won't come back unless the impossible is done. A roll back.

  2. How to get this ex-subscriber back.... by Holdstrong · · Score: 2, Informative

    I won't go so far as to say that I will not come back as long as Sony has the license...

    However, I will say this, the only way I will ever give this game another shot is if I hear that they have totally abandoned the current version and built a new one from scratch. This entire concept of slapping on change after change is just not working (and no except SONY ever thought it would). The problems run deeper than that - they need to admit defeat and start over. If they do, I'd give the new game a try, but nothing short of that will ever make me come back
