This morning Sega released a major patch for Phantasy Star Online 2, but immediately afterwards complaints started to surface on twitter and other social media platforms from Japanese users that saw many files deleted from their PCs by the patcher of the game.

Those files dodn’t just include a bunch belonging to the game itself, but in many cases also totally unrelated files from other games and applications, and even critical system files from the windows/system 32 folder, crippling the computers affected.

How in the actual fuck?

But it gets better
Today Sega announced the conclusion of its investigation and that the company is ready to make amends.

In order to apologize to the affected customers Sega will offer either 10,000 AC (the currency used to purchase items in the game’s cash shop) for a value of approximately 10,000 yen ($100), or a 5,000 yen ($50) cash voucher.
50........fucking......dollars??? For destroying someone's OS? That doesn't even cover the inconvenience of an OS reinstall let alone lost important things and setting everything back up again. Fucking cunts. This kind of shit is exactly why I will never touch a windows box ever again.
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Code: Select all

// Replaces with spaces the braces in cases where braces in places cause stasis 
   $str = str_replace(array("\{","\}")," ",$str);
