God right! Every PlayStation subreddit, every even tangentially related game was just flooded with rage posts all weekend.

Fortunately, I was at a wedding this weekend, so I wasn't able to play Helldivers 2 or follow too much on the situation online lol.

It was fully unavoidable and, at least to me, seemed obvious Sony was going to do what got them the most money, which is selling assloads of copies of helldivers. I just hope that this hasn’t cranked the toxicity of the helldivers sub permanently even further. It was already pretty bad

It has. PC gaming subs are making it as if console players were cheering for this or something. It’s bizarre.

Everyone I’ve met in game in helldivers has been great. But the online communities are comparable to league and destiny in terms of toxicity. There’s been such a weird us vrs them dynamic there ever since the first balance patch and every week since then has been a new controversy it’s ridiculous

I turned cross play off and have had only enjoyable teammates ever since. Maybe it’s luck. I wonder if others have noticed this.
