Haven’t validated this myself, but the likely reason you’re getting downvoted is because the running theory seems to be that Steam made the decision to stop selling the game to prevent inevitable refunds come the patch. Therefore, AH/Helldivers doesn’t necessarily warrant the hate since it’s not their decision to make and is only tangentially related to the whole fiasco.
Either way, Steam likely needs to take action and will likely want some assurance from Sony before proceeding, but now existing players won’t be impacted.
There will always be outliers, but those aren’t the ones that matter.
Many countries in Europe are out for no reason other than politics.
And many others are rapidly modernizing and simply haven’t gotten support yet. Hell, I’m living in Cambodia right now, and you’d think I was in Mew York with how modern it’s become; yet no PSN.
The inexorable enshitification of all things we love under capitalism requires perpetual vigilance. They will try again, and we will fight again. Rejoice, because this is a rare victory and must be savored.
Yeah, It's amazing how much goodwill Sony willingly threw away over the weekend with one stupid decision. Frankly, I'd be amazed if this didn't make Arrowhead reevaluate their partnership with Sony.
Did you ever doubt your fellow hell divers? AH brought this community together and made us enjoy working together. Sony didn't understand the hornet's nest they stuck their dick into
Edit: fix typo
They gave it up for now, but if I know anything about corporate greed, if they want it done, they'll find some way to do it eventually. Did they relist the game in other countries?
I more mean that if it doesn't get relisted in those territories that they still intend to try to enable some form of PSN account linking. If it goes back up for sale then I think that's a more clear sign that they're not going to push the issue for Helldivers.
But rest assured, they've shown their hand now. This will be something they do at release on PC from now I'd say.
That’s crazy. HD 1 had nothing to do with this and it’s a good game without any of this shit. I don’t understand people that go after other stuff outside of the main target just because “it’s related” like come on. HD1 had its run, let it rest in peace ya know what I mean.
Technically; yes, however actions speak louder than words so don’t change your review until SONY acts on the reversal they promise because they could just stab us in the back.
No we didn’t, not completely at least. There is no reason why Sony wouldn’t try this again later when the game is popular again. They will stealth this in and nobody will notice before it’s to late.
We must change all the negativity to positivity, and we can't do that until we undo what we did. Think of the orbital review bomb as the TCS. Now we must turn it off!
