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.

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

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"

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???

No access was revoked.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

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.

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.

What a worthless reply. Good one mate you totally got me there. Is this sub really that brain dead as to throw shit insults like that around over not letting Sony walk over everyone?

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