Helldivers 2 will require Steam players to sign in with PSN account, led to review bombing games & refunds. |UP| Gamers organizing to revert reviews.

Cope more. HD2 has significantly more players ons team than PS5 and Steam has been a major boon for the games popularity.
Sony should have been more upfront with the changes and not made it mandatory. Legally changing a contract after purchase is Sony's fault.

Spiderman 2 is optional
GoT will be optional
Why is HD2 mandatory? We all know why.

STFU.

Ghost Of Tsushima and Spiderman 2 are SP games. Mind you, there was a thread here few days ago about Tsushima Legends where it says PSN WILL BE MANDATORY.


Also, from day 1 Helldivers 2 literally had on the wall : PSN required!!
Given that it was clearly written at the start that the game would require a PSN account, the people could check based on that and buy or not buy the game... people DON'T READ what is written on Steam and then get surprised when "complications" occur. How transparent from PC gamers

 

[Yuniac]

Just cause you could skip doesn’t mean it wasn’t mandatory.

Just read what you are writing. No one can be this dense.

Sony have destroyed their relationship with the Helldivers devs



Don't be surprised when they bail out on Helldivers 2 and come back with Helldroppers or something in a couple years with EA or Ubisoft publishing

From Software all over again

 

[Yuniac]

They somehow think PS player base doesn't exist for Helldivers 2, lol. It'll remain healthier when those leeches get out. Fuck those PC whiners.

How mighty nice of you to call people who bought the game legally, fair, and square: "leeches".

Sony have destroyed their relationship with the Helldivers devs

How? By funding them for 10+ years? By requiring something that literally every 3rd party does?

These devs are idiots for responding to disingenuous idiots.

They're in a tough spot. It doesn't help that it's the weekend and the response is slower than usual. We'll see how Sony actually handles this on Monday. I'm expecting a press release.

I'm waiting on the 'nvm' announcement on Monday. If that doesn't happen, then I can't wait for the new memes.

What an incredibly genius move to announce such news on a Friday night.

They've pulled the rug out from under them.

It was one thing with the PSN linking. But now they have caused the game to be removed in dozens and dozens of markets as well because Sony are trying to link a feature that isn't even global

Let's see what the long term impact is but Sony may have cost these devs millions of dollars and there is already a big refund wave happening that is every chance to keep snowballing. That's not even counting that they are probably going to need to refund everyone in those unsupported markets just so Sony can pump their MAU numbers up

You are right. Also, they literally said the Steam announcement, the change, and everything came from Sony. I don't think they even knew it was happening.

Sony just fucked them over.

Imagine not allowing people to buy a game on STEAM in countries where there's not a PSN. Nice business strategy, Sony, keep it up.

Did they teach you English comprehension in Turkey?

Don’t buy games if you can’t. Oh wait you didn’t buy Helldivers 2.

Do you know what Require/Required means?

Definitions of required

1. adjective
   required by rule
   “required reading”
   synonyms:compulsory, mandatory,obligatory
   morally or legally constraining or binding
2. adjective
   necessary for relief or supply
   synonyms:needed, needful, requisitenecessary
   absolutely essential

Like I said a SKIP button doesn’t change that. It means you still require to do it. Sony gave you 4 months.

 

[Yuniac]

Do you know what Require/Required means?

Ironic.

"It's required but also skippable."

Lol you really think these 2 bit swedes can make another decent game, the devs of this game have been utterly incompetent since day 1 of launch

They put themselves in that tough spot. The devs/community managers are retarded for justifying this nonsense and empathizing with disingenuous pricks. All it's done is add extra fuel to the fire and gave credence to fake outrage. And they've said literally nothing of substance, if they kept their mouths shut, it wouldn't have snowballed this much. I would honestly fire the community managers if I was in charge.

We don't know yet if that was Sony, I've seen some people say Valve are the ones that delisted it. No one really knows who did it.

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?

Ironic.

Nothing ironic about it.

You are required but skip at your peril.

Sony have now given a deadline.

Good luck with the lawsuit Steam lunatics.

 

[Jim Ryan]

Hopefully Sony stick it to these anti PlayStation lunatics on pc.

All they needed to do was take a minute to sign up for a free service.

Their hostility to PlayStation has been exposed and Sony should use their full might to strike back at the pc / steam platform.

Time to recognise the enemy.

Actman's a moron, with zero creativity. Just makes videos about what people want to hear. They don't call him shillman for nothing.

Guy was jacking Halo off until the general community started shitting on it, after which he changed his tune. Zero credibility, decency or integrity.

Dude, you make it sound like Sony is doing us a service or a favor.

They have a business to run, they bring their products to PC to sell them.
