They have this feature called "accolades". You get one when a player sends you one.
Great.
So today I got one. From who? Oh, it was a player I was just playing with in returnal. I didn't catch their name. Easy remedy, I'll just go to "played together" right? Because this should show a list of players you've played with right? Ok where is it..? Under a icon called "game base" (which makes no sense, but ok). I go there, and look at "played together". Ez right?
Wrong.
This shit is showing a whoping 3 people from days ago I played with in god knows what game that was because it doesn't list the game either. But I can tell from the dates that wasn't the person I was playing with. Great.
Hmmm... What to do, vex. Think! There must be a way to salvage this. Oh! I know, the accolade that popped up was a "notification". Maybe if I go to the notification icon, it will show me who gave me the accolade.
Clicks on notifications
Yes! It says "you have received XXXX accolade". It's still there!
I click on it. It takes me to a screen that explains what accolades are. Great. Ok who gave it to meeeee annndddd nothing. There's no way to tell. It leads to no where.
You see... When I received the accolade, I wanted to return the favor, but I quickly exited out of the pop-up by mistake after an online session in coop. So now I CAN NEVER FIND THIS INFORMATION EVER AGAIN. EVER. It's lost to time.
EDIT: AND GUESS WHAT, THE NOTIFICATION AUTO-EARASES ITSELF. SO THERE'S NO TRACE OF IT IN YOUR HISTORY. You can't make this up.
Again: Why isn't played together working PROPERLY STILL AFTER DECADES of this (it used to be "players met" on the old Sony consoles and it didn't work 100% there either). Again: It's great that you show I got an accolade, but why not at least tell me WHO, and WHAT GAME I got it for?!? It's 2022. We have the technology. I promise.
Fuck!!!
