Astral Chain was released by Platinum Games on August 30, 2019 exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Some users did not like this and they began to attack the project page on Metacritic with negative reviews. Many protesters gave zero points without comment, but there were also those who accused Platinum Games CEO Hideki Kamiya of hating PlayStation.
The famous game developer responded to such statements on his Twitter. How NintendoSoup, with a link to the original post, the director of Platinum Games wrote: βWell... it would be just as great to have Mario, Zelda and Metroid (on PS4), but... Regarding my hatred of the PlayStation... I am only a developer who fulfills my contractual obligations responsibilities. So, I donβt know, maybe you could ask my publisher and investor, Nintendo?β
The behavior of players in the case of Astral Chain is a little surprising, because Platinum Games has released exclusives for Nintendo before, for example, released on Wii U and Switch . Then the community reacted calmly, and no one bombarded the project with negative reviews. Currently Astral Chain has 87 points after 59 reviews from critics. Users gave it a rating of 6,2 points out of 10; at the time of writing the news, 3008 people voted.
