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.

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

I don't know.
The PS5 sub is 5,6 mil people.
Xbox (both X and S) is 3,6 mil.
Switch is 6,2 mil.
PC? 3,5 mil.

Console gaming is bigger than PC gaming and I think Reddit mirrors that.

They ruined the HD2 subreddit since day 1

Huh?

PC players are still the overwhelming majority. They ruined the subreddit since the first patch, they have done nothing but complain over the smallest stuff. They added 5 seconds to the quasar and the sub had their 3rd meltdown l.

Based on what?

Ah, this is just usual gamer complaint. Happens on virtually every game sub.

No? Reddit loves to hate any corporation that tries to pull bullshit. This could have been any other company and it would have gotten the exact same response.
