PSU Community Links

Sega's current PSU PR stunt, the Community Links page, is now online. The initial version of the page at the PSU site features links to nine fansites, blogs and/or informational sites.

I think it was a good idea for Sega to add a links page to its PSU site, but why now all of a sudden? This should have been there from day one. I understand that the site's purpose is to show potential players what kind of game they're getting into, but having a page for fansite links shows that community support exists for the game. In an online game, that's critically important.

The forums were a good first step, but they tend to bring out the worst in people. The new Community Links page might be a good way to put a more positive spin on community interaction.
