I agree with you except for the fact that Sony has yet to change the region lock out or remove the PSN account requirement on the Steam store listing. Talk is cheap and that's all Sony has done so far.
Quick reversal shows that community is proactive in recognizing good and bad actions, so that even if reviews flip to good again it can quickly become negative. So I don't think there is a need to hold off on changing reviews back to positive. Showing that the community is actively engaged is good to demonstrate.
I'm not saying they should be rewarded but the penalty should be removed. I'm not saying people should go give it a positive review if they didn't already have one, I do think the negative reviews should at least be removed. If Sony reneges then there will obviously be a huge backlash again and "we ain't gon get fooled again".
That's a valid point.
