The PlayStation version received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[20]

gollark: They ridiculously overcentralize the internet.
gollark: I don't like cloudflare, and that wouldn't be "my own DNS servers".
gollark: How did com.com break that? People typing in just "com"? Wouldn't that just resolve to the top level domain?
gollark: I was looking at getting one of those when replacing my bad free .tk domain (there's nothing really wrong with the TLD beyond the registrar being kind of bad, but their free plan allows my use of it to be randomly cancelled and the DNS service is kind of awful), but I just got osmarks.net instead.
gollark: Anyway, while I don't think any 3-letter .com domains still exist, it turns out you *can* get a lot of [3-character jumble].[2-letter country code for some weird place] domains rather cheaply still.
