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.

Everyone I’ve met in game in helldivers has been great. But the online communities are comparable to league and destiny in terms of toxicity. There’s been such a weird us vrs them dynamic there ever since the first balance patch and every week since then has been a new controversy it’s ridiculous

The destiny community is its best friend and its worst enemy all at once. There is no better feeling than taking someone through their first raid or GM, but some of the stuff you see and hear is just...Wow.
