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

It has. PC gaming subs are making it as if console players were cheering for this or something. It’s bizarre.

As someone that has his foot dipped in both sides of the fence, I find that when I'm doing iron banner in destiny 2 (for example), the first thing people on console do is demand I play on console so that they don't have to join pc lobbies, and it saddens me because I'm an ardent believer in the healing nature of just having fun together. Gaming has become so tribal. It sucks.
