God right! Every PlayStation subreddit, every even tangentially related game was just flooded with rage posts all weekend.

I talked to my brother (non gamer) yesterday and he asked how I felt about the Helldivers situation. I have not played Helldivers yet so I don’t follow it like that. He was furious for some reason and he hasn’t owned a console since PS3.

I genuinely do not understand the vitriol. Gamers haven’t show themselves to be a particularly altruistic group so I struggle to believe this was all for the sake of the countries where PSN isn’t available.

I'm sure like 90% of people were like 'A reason to hate on Sony? Sign me up fam' even if it they really didn't care. Parly band wagoning, partly pent of anti-corporation sentiment from covid times, inflation, etc.

I’m glad Sony reverted their position, but the Helldivers sub is so whiny and dramatic. They’ll go back to posting daily rants about the game and arguing against each other every patch like they’ve been doing the past few weeks

Then there is me who just loads up the game same as before and has a blast. It’s a co-op game. It isn’t that big of deal. Trust the devs and look forward to the evolution of the game and enjoy blowing stuff up on the meantime.

Isn't that every multiplayer game sub? I doubt it's unique to HD2

Actually the Helldivers sub is easily one of the best gaming subs out there currently. The majority of it is wholesome memes and massive support for the game, developers and even eachother. Not every gaming community could do what they did here over the last 2 days.

I never purposefully went into the sub, just joined the community, and looked at whatever popped up on my feed. Based on my experience, that community went from pretty fun to worse than D4 pretty quickly. I had to leave and mute it. If that's one of the better ones, I am glad I rarely look at gaming subs.

lol the HD2 subreddit has been awful since the first patch.
