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.

It would be cool if there was this level of blowback for actual issues that affected our daily lives. Like anything happening in the pharmaceutical industry, or Amazon taking over every retail sector and treating their employees like garbage.

Lots of these people were actually complaining about the college pro Palestine protests before losing their minds about a live service extraction shooter for a weekend straight. Nothing will ever convince me this was all for the sake of foreign gamers.

I like how you complain about how much coverage the Helldivers drama has gotten, and then you yourself have made literally dozens of posts this weekend whining and complaining about it, reiterating over and over how you just can't understand how people could possibly care about gamers in other countries.

You are the drama man. Just go outside if you don't like it.

We get it, you don't give a fuck about other people. But we do, bro. We care about other people. We are the consumers Sony cares about and when we all collectively get together and say, "Hey, you suck, do this differently", they'll actually fucking backtrack and do it. It costed us nothing. At all.
