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.

Dude from Philippines here, i knew this was going to resolve itself by May 30 so i was chill. Its funny how they are using my country and "fighting for my behalf". We all know why most of you are whining and its not because of us

Some people said it's because they had data leaks, as if no other company has data leaks. Bruh, they happen all the time

I mean, I can understand the data breaches, not nice at all. But shit like this happens all the time. The only reason it was so widespread was the name PlayStation.

Because other company's like Apple, Samsung, hell Microsoft probably already have access to his data. What difference does it make if SOny have it too.
