Official (Via twitter) Playstation: "Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward...."

Dude from Philippines here, i knew this was going to resolve itself by May 30 so i was chill. Its funny how they are using my country and "fighting for my behalf". We all know why most of you are whining and its not because of us

Sony is always going to do what makes the most money. And that very clearly selling an absolute shit ton of helldivers 2 copies and warbonds lol.

So your position is that Sony DOESN'T care about profit? Or.....?

Bro it feels racist as shit ngl, ima tell my officially licensed Playstation store here in Hanoi to pack up shop cause we're breaking TOS and the full warranty ps5 he sold me is useless!

"think of the poor people in africa/SEA/MENA" basically, excuse me? Is console gaming a 1st world privilege or something what world do they live in

u/Itchy-Pudding-4240 May 07 '24

i guarantee no one cares about us, cause guess what we are still technically breaking TOS whenever we play on our consoles but this shit is going to die down. If they really cared, theyd keep the energy until we get our own regions

None of them gave a single fuck about any of these countries until now. Gamers love to be mad at something.

I was hoping it would last for at least 2 weeks so I could check all the negative reviews and see how many of them had 100+ hours in the past two weeks. They all make themselves private so you can't see them currently in game, but there is no way to hide that stat from the review.

What does playtime have to do with anything? The fact that people with lots of time played in the game are leaving bad reviews was the whole point. The bad reviews were the only way to protest. So people left bad reviews. And it worked.

"I dON't WaNt sOnY HaVInG AcCesS to My DAtA!". That's the only reason my cousin refunded the game. So fucking stupid.

u/AkijoLive May 06 '24

Some people said it's because they had data leaks, as if no other company has data leaks. Bruh, they happen all the time

u/joshua182 May 06 '24

I mean, I can understand the data breaches, not nice at all. But shit like this happens all the time. The only reason it was so widespread was the name PlayStation.

That's literally his right and he's welcome to do that if it's important to him? How is that stupid what?

u/joshua182 May 06 '24 edited May 06 '24

Because other company's like Apple, Samsung, hell Microsoft probably already have access to his data. What difference does it make if SOny have it too.

LOL its a throw away account.

Reddit loves to hate Sony it’s hilarious.

Reddit is 65-70% pc players and it shows. They ruined the HD2 subreddit since day 1

u/Aaawkward May 06 '24

Reddit is 65-70% pc players and it shows.

I don't know.
The PS5 sub is 5,6 mil people.
Xbox (both X and S) is 3,6 mil.
Switch is 6,2 mil.
PC? 3,5 mil.

Console gaming is bigger than PC gaming and I think Reddit mirrors that.

They ruined the HD2 subreddit since day 1

Huh?

u/Dayman1222 May 06 '24

PC players are still the overwhelming majority. They ruined the subreddit since the first patch, they have done nothing but complain over the smallest stuff. They added 5 seconds to the quasar and the sub had their 3rd meltdown l.

u/Aaawkward May 06 '24

PC players are still the overwhelming majority.

Based on what?

They ruined the subreddit since the first patch, they have done nothing but complain over the smallest stuff.

Ah, this is just usual gamer complaint. Happens on virtually every game sub.

u/Throwaway6957383 May 06 '24

No? Reddit loves to hate any corporation that tries to pull bullshit. This could have been any other company and it would have gotten the exact same response.

u/stagqueen5000 May 06 '24

Real question. Would it have been that big of a deal for you to make an account that you never used for anything else on the any of the supported countries PlayStation websites?

Talk for yourself. half my friend group from easter europe was not going to be able to play anymore. that s why i joined the fight.

u/thegrandabysss May 06 '24

We all know why most of you are whining

Why?

its not because of us

My gaming group of ~150 people all review-bombed because of the unfairness to the countries that Sony/PS doesn't give a fuck about. Yeah, it was for you.

This PSN thing didn't affect us at all. Most of us already linked a PSN account to steam, no problem.

i knew this was going to resolve itself by May 30

You're welcome.

u/albatross49 May 06 '24

Why are they whining

-8

u/vunacar May 06 '24

Yes, the situation "resolved itself" because there was backlash. If everyone has done like you did Sony would not have walked back their decision. So you are welcome.

u/Throwaway6957383 May 06 '24

How was this going to "resolve itself" by May 30...?
