And how does singing in to PSN on steam help gamers?
All are on the same playfield.

It gives more control to devs to be more effective against cheating, harassment etc..

It is nothing new, almost all publishers does this. It is a norm and it will be.

So it's about control and banning people if they said the wrong thing or God forbid, had different thoughts than you. Well, am I glad Steam gamers didn't stand for this bullshit. It will be the norm yes, but only for you.

This fucker acted innocent and threw Sony under the bus, then PC guys went on a 'F YOU SONY ' rampage.....

and now admits he knew all along.


So the fault was all on him and his studio at the very beginning. Somehow he let Sony who funded their game for seven years take the blame instead. Nice job. They really should take some serious PR trainings before launching their game.

Of course both parties played dumb. I don't buy Arrowheads excuse. Sony is to blame as well.

They can always cut ties with Sony and go independent for their next project.

Yeah, he knew but what could he have done? Tell Sony no? didn't you all say Sony owned him? Speak about it publicly against Sony's will, again Sony owns him? So what can he do that wouldn't nuke the game on launch?

I'm quick to call out Sony when it's right, but in this situation, Sony really hasn't done anything wrong. This is all nothing but fake outrage, people are given an entire month's notice to create a free account. A practice that almost every other company does, but now that Sony did it, it's an issue?
The only thing Sony did wrong was not having a (other) option for people who’s country isn’t available when creating a PSN resulting in Sony selling games to people oj country where the option to create a PSN on there country (even at the least having a ‘other’ or ‘undisclosed’ option) also Sony taking so long they should’ve change this within hours & shut down this fake outrage immediately. Oh & changing the wording like banning people who don’t select the country they truly live in idk why that even exist giving people can lie & already make burner email with burner info

You are using red herring fallacy again. Pathetic.

But they stand, the same things do ea, ubisoft, m$ and others 😂

This is an outdated fax page regarding Sony singleplayer in 2023 where in 2024 helldivers 2 released in 2024.

It’s funny people using this image as some sort of gotcha as this still doesn’t negate that Helldivers promotion, steam page & developers that stated a PSN account would be a requirement months prior to launch, before launch & at launch.

The mind bending strong arm people are trying to do to something that takes 2 minutes to create is baffling

Slop?
Name a PC exclusive game which won Goty in the last 20 years?
I am sure, i can name multiple from console manufacture.
this argument is so tiring, no one goes PC for Exclusives. They go PC for the best performance, better graphics, mods, free online, etc.

I have been playing online on PSN since Resident Evil 5, never been warned, let alone banned. Just do not be an idiot when playing and all will be fine.

We are focusing too much on a userbase that boasts about how open their platform of choice is only to lock themselves to one store.

Steam gave PC what pc fans always wanted, a tribe.
On PC, you are free to use what you want. Play what you want. It's just that we chose the best and stuck with it. Many have tried to be Steam 2.0. All have failed. Locking ourselves in with Steam is a choice we made. Not something that we were forced into.

I don't see your post making any sense, the blame has always been on Sony, Sony is the one who knowingly sold the game in countries that they do not support.

Pilestedt isn't responsible for anything, Sony deserves to be thrown under the bus, they were the ones who delisted 125 countries after their own fuck up, Arrowhead is not to blame. They were fixing issues regarding account linking so they let it be optional for a time. Sony is the one at fault for swindling hundreds of thousands of people out of the game because they shouldn't have sold in those countries in the first place, also, another thing. Supporting only 70 countries when you sold to way more is absolutely short-sighted by Sony and they deserve the backlash they are getting.
