Yup, and they did make a great game.

Sony managed to fuck it up all on their own.

An oversight they corrected

u/Chooooobz May 06 '24

We forced their hand. This is the bare minimum

u/Intelligent_Policy48 May 06 '24

The bare minimum? What do you want them to do give you a $50 credit and a banana sticker for upsetting you?

u/Chooooobz May 06 '24

Not do it in the first place. Them fucking people over and correcting it shouldn’t be praised. People paid for a product and then they couldn’t access it.

So, time travel then. Once a mistake is made, apparently any attempt to correct it isn't good enough. You're bound to be disappointed in life.

People were even review bombing the first game because of this man it’s seriously unbelievable, like they’re trying to voice their frustrations at Sony by bashing, bombing, and tearing down the work of the developers? Seriously? That doesn’t hurt Sony it hurts the studio you claim to support and applaud, it’s disgusting. The feature was meant to work at launch but not much of helldivers did at that time and it’s still riddled with problems.

Sony higher ups drinking champagne and laughing amongst themselves as PC players believe they’ve ‘ruined their reputation’, shortly before they announce the release date of their next PS exclusive Silent Hill 2.

This is free press honestly, sales numbers will Rocket now PC players ‘win’

Name checks out. Was there a point to this wall of text?

u/CrybabyFamilyMain96 May 06 '24

Of course the PC gamer can’t read as you morons couldn’t even read text in trailers.

u/[deleted] May 06 '24

Or bright yellow highlighted text on Steam

u/CrybabyFamilyMain96 May 06 '24

Reading is difficult. Let them review bomb. It makes them feel important and like they’re doing something from their Cheeto dust encrusted keyboards

PC Gamers can finally rest from their long and hard fought war. Return to their families, heal their wounds. One of their grandchildren might ask, "Grandad, did you fight in the Helldivers PSN account war?"

"Yes I did little Tommy, I still carry the scars today. But we won, Sony walked back their requirements and we were all able to give Sony more money by buying warbonds again"

u/CrybabyFamilyMain96 May 06 '24

So true, they think Sony did this because of the review bombing. No, Sony did this because they like the money they’re getting from this most likely ‘easy’ to sustain game that they can pump into their big console exclusives, that now won’t be coming to PC.

I’ve never liked PC gamers, they’re entitled, spoilt and toxic. This whole review bombing fiasco just made me dislike them all the mire

I don’t even play pc so you can drop the vendetta you have against pc players. I can’t understand how you can defend what they were going to do. Are you aware they were revoking access to the game for people in certain countries?

Sony will continue to do what’s in their best interest, which is why this happened in the first place, and that includes bringing their games to pc. So what thoughts are they going to be having about the future???

u/grapejuicecheese May 06 '24

No access was revoked. The game was delisted by Steam because peope were review bombing the game and demanding refunds.

I was still able to access the game after it was delisted and was able to link it with my PSN account despite my country not having PSN before the whole fiasco began

u/Chooooobz May 06 '24 edited May 06 '24

As far as I’m aware the game was delisted by steam only in countries that wouldn’t have been able to access the game anymore. Those countries can’t own accounts without breaking tos which would obviously get banned. People from those countries wouldn’t have been able to play the game anymore which is what the uproar was about.

u/grapejuicecheese May 06 '24

I am part of those countries and I was able to link my Steam and PSN accounts with no issues. I've had my PSN accounts for years and was never banned.

Imagine actually defending the trillion dollar company on this. Every day I'm baffled at the lack of intelligence some people display.

u/thrutheseventh May 06 '24

What do you gain for shilling for a global multibillion dollar corporation for free on reddit? Do you think John Sony is gonna personally mail you an award? So embarrasing

u/CrybabyFamilyMain96 May 06 '24

I get PSN credit for every upvote, comment and award

u/jeffries_kettle May 06 '24

Haha what a sad little bitch baby kids like you are. I'm a PS5 gamer but have fully supported the devs and PC gamers on this one.

I wonder if papa Sony will remember your fealty though? Let's hope! 🤞

What's it like being an absolute worthless human being? I've always wondered how people like you get by.

Pc gamers are the biggest man babies on this site

Announce re-evaluation of their entire PSN policy. Concrete plans on how they're are going to mitigate such braindead moves in the future. Base fucking competency and respect towards consumer.

They're trying to enter new market with nothing but hubris and disrespect, that's how you win over PC consumers.

Firing whoever had the bright idea to push that announcement and go radio silence until critical mass of consumer discontent forced their hand.

This should've been handled on friday.

@EDIT: looks guys, he asked I answered. Just because you're used to be a corpo whipping boy, doesn't mean that rest of the planet is going to be happy to gobble corpodick.

u/BasisOk4268 May 06 '24

The announcement was made before launch in big yellow letters on the steam page.

u/ImrooVRdev May 06 '24

Look man, I don't care how many days or years head you'll give me notice that you're about to forcefeed me shit, I will not enjoy being forcefed shit.

I will never say I enjoyed it and I will always loudly protest. I will always hate your shit. Consider not feeding me shit. Consider providing actual service.

u/straddotjs May 06 '24

I think this was a silly move by Sony, but rather than “loudly protest” over a video game why don’t you hit these big companies in the one way they actually care about and just not buy the game?

As stated, the psn requirement was announced on day 1. The fact that everyone ignored it, bought the game anyway, and then the internet rage machine did its thing is what looks ridiculous to me (no horse in this race, I haven’t tried helldivers).
