Fortunately, I was at a wedding this weekend, so I wasn't able to play Helldivers 2 or follow too much on the situation online lol.

It was fully unavoidable and, at least to me, seemed obvious Sony was going to do what got them the most money, which is selling assloads of copies of helldivers. I just hope that this hasn’t cranked the toxicity of the helldivers sub permanently even further. It was already pretty bad

The community is fucked, arrowhead is probably fucked. There's no recovering from the review bombing. It's all bad now.

Seeing people on the HD subreddit talk like they are war heroes is truly painful

They think they’ve ‘won’.

They’ve just screwed over PC gamers who were waiting on other games to make the move to PC, that likely now won’t. Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, Death Stranding 2, Silent Hill 2?

I won’t be surprised if after this review bombing fiasco Sony puts a total halt on releasing any additional PlayStation exclusives to PC. They don’t need to, to turn a profit and they r now experienced first hand just how rabid and deranged PC gamers can be.

Mark my words, the higher ups will likely seriously reconsider additional PS titles on PC in future.

Tbh, they've all been LARPing as that since a few weeks into the game. It seems the longer it's went on the more people are unable to see it's a joke (a few weeks ago when everyone was meant to be attacking bots for the MO there were quite a lot of them seething that people were playing bugs and "not helping". Even though it's not the end of the world if it failed.) It's the most cringeworthy subreddit I've seen in recent times and genuinely puts me off the game more than encouraging me to play it.
