Sony reverses position & will no longer require PSN account linking for Helldivers 2. Must take the right lessons from this fiasco.

[anonpuffs]

Meh this all could have been solved by not launching games for the so called PCMR, these guys are not worth it and most of them are poor to buy games anyways, 1060 and 2060 are what these master race guys buy

Disagree. This game has sold at least 8 million units on steam alone. No publisher is going to ignore that kind of success.

The problem is Sony is a legacy company and has a bunch of greedy boomers running the show.

Look, I have no problem with the Sony launcher on PC, they can make one if they want lol. I have no problem if Sony puts 10 different requirements before you can play their games. AS LONG as it is communicated from the start and people can decide whether they do it or not. Thats it.

And I don't want Valve to have a monopoly on PC gaming because they already do, and they deserve it because they fight for the gamers and we support it. You do you, we do what we do.

like i said Valve’s monopolistic fanboys are to fault for this, not Sony, not Arrowhead, you guys want to play PLAYSTATION games without even linking a PLAYSTATION account, the level of entitlement and egocentrism to think Steam players are at the top of the top and can’t be imposed to have requirements on games they play should already tell you everything, Helldivers 2 is now a “Mostly Negative” reviewed game because you guys want to endorse Valve’s monopoly in PC gaming, that’s all

Absolutely not.

 

[Etifilio]

Every post you write make you sound afraid of PC gaming.

not at all, all i point about is the hypocritical state of Valve’s monopolistic fanboys, this notion that you’ll riot about the fact of simply linking an account once to your Steam account is just pure madness and insanity, the level this is taking is also out of proportion, you guys look like cry babies for any simple thing

 

[Muddasar]

Also serves the CEO right for pandering to these lunatics.

Decided to react to the review bombing. Well he got more to review bomb it.

 

[Etifilio]

Absolutely not.

you know it is, y’all don’t want to be considered PlayStation Monthly Active users even tho y’all are playing PlayStation games

The last thing I will say to you is if you like to see why people are mad then maybe you should read what THOSE people are saying instead of making things up here on this forum. Please, take a look: https://steamcommunity.com/app/553850/reviews/?browsefilter=trendweek&snr=1_5_100010_&p=1

fake concerns about countries where these people complaining are not even part of and for those who are, in which Arrowhead and Sony already said they’re working for a solution to them specifically? i don’t even need to look at that, i know the real reason is just loyalty to valve, no other publisher got this amount of hate over simple link of accounts, and all of them require this for multiplayer games

They did. The PSN account requirement was in the Steam page from day one.

 

[Kokoloko]

Ey, I couldnt care what PC gamers think. They are always complaining about something, they arent even PC fanboys, they are Steam fanboys.

Either Sony needs to pull the plug from PC gamers (they clearly dont think much of PS games) or PC gamers need to sign in, its not a big deal for them

Its not from the start, and its really not a big deal. Takes a few minutes to set up.

I remember buying a game called Half Life 2 and was forced to install something called Steam lol

 

[Wing84]

Sony doesn't need to do anything other than make more games, treat their employees right, increase their output, service the regions that need to be serviced, and ignore PC crybaby hypocrites that want their number 1 cash cow gone via day and date releases.

As annoying as Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox fanboys are, PC's (or should I say Gabe's fanboys) might be the most obnoxious of the gamer fanboy bunch.

Valve fanboys, exactly

Just get over the hump and that’s it. The only lesson here is to release your games as early access, Steam players eat that shit up.

Don't forget; Sony should call all of their games Star Citizen. PC fanboys would rather pay mortgage rates for that game than a gym membership.

 

[Gamernyc78]

All this fuss over something literally every other publisher already does Pure insanity, PC gamers really really really hate PlayStation.

Sony's PR has been abysmal this entire generation, but even the best PR team in the world cannot properly respond to this level of retardation.

But yeah a beta would've done wonders for this game.

Yeah we have like four threads about the same shit. COD been linking Activision accounts since forever and so have many others.

Ubisoft, Microsoft, Rockstar...

One lesson they could ingore learn is to ignore these guys. But they wont do that

Unbelievable that you STILL IGNORING the fact that PSN requirement was written on the wall since launch. It was showed to you in other thread BY ME.

I hope Sony cancel all future PC ports, seriously Fuck these entitled manchildren on Steam
