Its definitely both. >Snoy wants PSN link to be an incentivized option >Arrowhead wants mandatory PSN link because it makes banning people much easier for them
Arrowhead hasn't expressed much interesting in directly moderating player behavior thus far, mostly just encouraging people with complaints to use the Block/Ignore tools and curate their own games.
Why would the developer ever care about any such shit? They get paid to make the game. Only the publisher benefits from all the data gathering and microtransaction nonsense. Unless of course the publisher is the developer.

Sony's publishing rights probably gives them a great deal of say.
And the "Link Playstation Account" was something that was always in the game from day one, but disabled because of network issues. Just trying to turn it back on after all this time is a massive rug pull even though this was supposed to be the way it was intended from the start.
> the "Link Playstation Account" was something that was always in the game from day one
Actually you can buy it right now from the Sony store and it specifically says that an account isn't required.
PC steam version btw.

>"currently"
Got 'em >Playstation Studios titles also offer incentives for linking your Steam and PSN accounts.
The incentive in this instance is that you wont get fricking banned. Pretty solid incentive if you ask me.
As crazy as it seems, that single word "currently" really is all they need to completely cover their bases as far as the court of law is concerned. Steam users really got BTFO hard on this one.

again, thats totally fine because as of now it is optional. They will need to change it once helldivers requires PSN
It's aggravated by the fact you get nothing in return.
The game is proven functional without it. You can already play with PS5 players and put them on a (mostly) functional in-game friend list. There's no in-game reward for signing up, no SC or a shitty exclusive gun like that MP-98 Knight. No additional features or functionality. You gain absolutely nothing by linking a PSN account except Sony will deign to let you continue playing the game you already bought. There reasoning is solely >Shoulda read da fine print, goy!
That's pretty fricking infuriating.
>Noooooo I really want to spam slurs like Black person shit c**t fart on a Sony published game to PS5 players noooooooooooo >You can't block me for hackering nooooooooooooooo
Cope and seethe kek, if you're using a mic on this game instead of the ingame spot system you're probably trash anyway.
>It's aggravated by the fact you get nothing in return.
It's funny how developers all uses agile but never follow their first rule.
The user story's format, “As a [persona], I [want to], [so that].”, can easily tell them this is a huge disaster. >As a player, I want to link my PSN accounts, so that.... so that.... I don't get it, how does it benefit me?
They wanted it implemented originally but couldn't get it to work.
They have a deadline to get it working by gay people month.
Snoy really wants to keep their ESG lifeline up.
>Does he even have any control over this or are Sony mandating it?
Publishers have a say on what to do with your game if they’re publishing. Gameworkshop has their show being turned woke on purpose because a leak came out saying Bezos wants to buy them on the cheap when their stock dips, just check YouTube for the matter.
This was meant to be done at launch so he probably had a say in it. The fact that he was very silent in whether or not they’d require a psn account going forward is very telling
According to the CEO of Arrowhead, Sony is mandating it. But also according to the CEO of Arrowhead, Sony cannot mandate it as Sony does not own Arrowhead. Also, their community manager says that Arrowhead is doing it to ban people more efficiently across all platforms.
I guess it depends on which separate damage control statement you want to believe.
I'm honestly surprised he's pointing at Sony. Insomniac changed Peter's face and said some bullshit about mocap but we all know it was Sony who called the shot. Ditto ND's statement about Factions 2. Arrowhead hasn't learned how to be first party elite yet.

Memes aside idk what it is about swedes but they seem to have this thing for picking literally the worst fricking options humanly possible for any situation. Both Fatshark and Arrowhead now have done it, from siding with tencent, using outdated anti cheat software that does not work.
Both of them are using an Autodesk game engine that was fricking depreciated back in 2018.
They just seem to zero in on the worst fricking possible choices they can make.
THEN THAT FRICKING CHUCKLE FRICK c**t SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT FRICK HIM FRICK ARROWHEAD FRICK ALL THE FRICKING TROONS AND ESPECIALLY FRICK SONY PONIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They did the same thing about the anti-cheat ahead of launch. They'll eventually get tired of shitting themselves in their tard rage and quietly fall in line.

The end of buying games is here
[...]
The majority of games currently in development are live service and they will all be under Gamepass/PS+
I don't own the game, and have 0 desire to buy their game. But people would be a lot less butt hurt, if the PSN was added at the start. Plus you have an EU country unable to even make a PSN account.
>we understand that while this may be an "inconvenience" to some of you, this step will help us continue to build a community you're all proud to be part of
What do you call this attitude? The complete disregard for people who can't even play with a ps account due to their regions.
>be a black lefty >make other lefties seethe because you absolutely refuse to get politics involved in your business >mainly because "Republicans buy shoes too"
I disagree with him politically but I can respect him.
Yeah just typical PR speak.
Never admit fault (for legal reasons)
only express that something vaguely unfortunate happened and you are very sad
that you will vaguely do something to make people happy
and that everyone should be hopeful for the vague future
Those are the only counties with a player count and money where that matters.
Ganker is full of thirdies though so I'm not surprised there's so much seething.
This. There was no indication anywhere in my 200+ hours of play that I was going to be forced to make a PSN account at some point. The fact I was able to play over 200 hours without one means the steam store page has had false information on it this whole time.
Shut up, you illiterate Black person. There was one splash screen the first time I booted the game up and it let me skip. Zero indication that I was going to be forced into this.
>Open up Ubisoft game/Minecraft/various other studios like KSP >You need an account to play online >What >No >Reeeeee >Make one anyway because who the frick cares if you're not a ho or a hacker because they have your data anyway from steam.

Okay this is definitely some rugpull shit
Launch without requiring access and then say uh uh uh time to pay the piper once hooked
Real drug dealer "the first taste is free" shit
Both are complicit then Sony and Arrowhead. They both knew the heist from the start.
If microjeet doesn't force us to use xbox gold, snoy shouldn't either
we really don't know since there's no PSN account linked multiplayer game on steam yet
>All your data
Steam already gives it to them moron, they don't need your permission Sony is a partner already.
If you used the email address for steam, Sony has access to your email and account name already without even signing into PSN.
All this does is tie it to a PSN account, it loterally gives them no more data than they already had.

Wait until they fully force psn, then steam will give you a refund I practically guarantee it, just don't use the regular refund as that's only for 2 hour or less playtime refunds.
Either one of three things: >passive aggressive homosexual >oingo boingo heckin' wholesome homosexual >useless homosexual that can't even do their job in any capacity
This seems mostly harmless and he's not wrong. I don't know about his other posts but there's definitely tons of morons on the steam forums.
"IS DIS GAME DED?????"
Meanwhile xyz game updated 3 days ago and the moron above never checked the news feed.
It's a little more complicated than one post. I'm not sure how many people remember this, but Beamdog repeatedly pushed back certain version of the EEs, prioritizing patches for certain folks, I wanna say they pushed BG2:EE for PC out the door before the Android version of BG:EE dropped, which was not the order things were originally laid out. As is usual these days, the games were pretty rough early on and patches weren't as forthcoming as they laid out, either.
>instead of admitting he was wrong or simply shutting up yet another CM pulls the victim card and encourages people to do stuff that hurts his company rather than keep his ego in check
Next step is he tells us how he is getting death threats he never proves exist and has to "take time off" from social media to guilt you.
Community managers are the most passive aggressive c**ts in existence. I swear these homosexuals must've gotten bullied in high school and now just power trip on telling people off online.
This is the first time I have ever seen a company rug pull a 3rd party account requirement after launch. People should be able to get full refunds if they want them.
Everyone's playing up the sympathy angle but helldivers 2 was going to shit anyway. Every update broke more than it fixed and everything new they added was unusable for a week. Or forever. There's weapons that didn't work properly day 1 and still don't fricking work. Everyone was already mad at them, this is just the last straw.
And people think they'll be able to add an entire new faction to fight. Lmao the game's going to fall apart at the seems if they try.
Just checked with a burner email. >Country (and US state if in US) >Date of Birth >Email address and password >Verify the email they sent to you >First time Sign-In on the PSN website prompts "optional" details that you can skip >Residential Address, account nickname and your First Last name
You can make all of the personal details up.
Pretty pointless really.
Those steps will leave you with an account that can't play most games (including HD2) because it's not age rated.
To have an "adult" account, they demand a picture of you or your ID.
I wouldn’t say it’s a nothing burger, it’s a major annoyance, but anyone who cucks themselves out of a game they enjoy because they need to make a Sony account is a moron, Sony and arrowhead are also morons for making this decision so don’t you dare call me a shill
so another nothingburger. Unless Sony is autistic enough to somehow detect and ban people with burners and fake info

frick around and find out
turns out no-one likes Sony (surprise surprise) and no-one can trust them not to get people's data hacked and leaked like it has a dozen times over the last few years
I honestly feel bad for him. Sony fricked him harder than anybody in all this. But then, when you make a deal with the devil, the price always comes due
UK only. It's a 3rd party company the UK government pays to check if you're old enough for 18+ games.
Several companies including Sony legally cannot save the image except to send it to the company in question for verification. I've had to do this for several accounts at this point, this includes microshit, they're legally obligated to delete the image after verification or they get huge fines.
Only if you picked some commie shithole like China or Canada.
Just choose the USA as your country and it only asks for a date of birth, and they're not allowed to check to see if it's legit.
>sell your soul to the Devil (aka Snoy) >DON'T BLAME ME, THEY MADE ME DO IT
Same energy as the asiaticcel in charge of ShiftUp trying to claim censorship was always his vision for the game when Sony told him to do it.
All Helldivers players deserve this for buying Snoy products, and if player count craters and the studio is shitcanned, they deserved it too; should've stayed independent or sigened with a better publisher.
least it doesn't require 24/7 kernel access to your pc from a company that has already leaked tens of millions of peoples' credit card info twice in the past

Both Sony and Microsoft stated that they wanted all live service games to be bundled on PS+/Gamepass to funnel consumers into the service
Nearly all of the games by these companies in production are live service.
If they got the requirement working since the beginning then this whole PR disaster would have never happened. Letting people skip the requirement then never bringing it up again until now is just incompetence.

"Well, how am I going to properly critique this without buying it?" I see that cope everywhere from all the people who virtue signal about their "boycott" against whatever company.
What flow? Are you upset bro? It's okay. Go get under your blankie and all the big bad meanie masculine men having a disagreement with the big daddy corporation will all disappear. 🙂
>standing up for themselves
If you want to stand up for yourself refund the game and stop playing moron
Review bombing while still playing and giving the devs money changes NOTHING
The best part is almost every boycott I hear about never works because the people boycotting still end up buying the product. At this point it’s just funny, people get mad, but never mad enough actually do something
Yeah that’s their argument, they just hope their boycott will work through words alone and they won’t have to actually do anything. I wish people would do shit, Sony will keep sucking if nobody does shit for example
Companies should fear boycotts, but they don’t have to because people are lazy. People should get off their asses and be the change they want to be but that’ll never happen
>PC gamers make everyone feel unwelcome in their community >Even literal developers and the biggest name in video games ever since the original PlayStation.
I can't wait for PC gaming to fricking die. You would be the first ones to find anyone's dick to suck if it meant you could get Bloodborne or Stellar Blade on PC, but you can't stand having to just sign in to a PlayStation account. You're pathetic. Frick every single one of you.
What's funny is noone will give a shit, they will make a Sony goy account to finish the last of the in game progression and then quit eventually like they all will. It's a half price game for a reason, it only has so much content.
I bet half of them quit already before this shit even happened, it's not like they actually care.
Yep, I requested a refund. Frick Sony. First they censored Stellar Blade and now this. FRICK YOU! Never playing Helldivers 2 again and you can shove Bloodborne exclusivity up your ass. Sony has done nothing good for a decade.
It's not that hard, shill. They're nurfing shit all the time anyway.
They nerfed literally one thing (railgun) and bugged a couple others, (eruptor) the new nerfs aren't huge and don't really stop me running t9s, the ammo pack now had value to some low ammo weapons in a team, and now I EAT, arc and AT spam t9 bugs with rocket headshots and 500kg for fun instead of plinking with railguns. Nothing changed and the game is as easy as ever.
Only crybaby plebs whined about the recent nerfs, because they lacked the capability to use anything besides meta picks and playing moronic.
That shit is exactly why I can't be asked to care about the plight of the HD2 players. They already showed once that they absolutely suck at protesting shit this game does, and NOW they're whining about how the game is asking them to bend over? Fricking please. This will blow over in a month just like the last Helldivers 2 related autism blew over in a month.
welp, too bad
that's what you get for dealing with basedny
if xbox wouldn't have shit the bed already, they would have won the console war
or maybe because basedny won, they are now forcing all this bullshit

You have literally read none of their announcements at all, everything you know about DRG's updates comes from morons on Ganker who want a new tortanic.
season 5 honestly looks decent enough even though the game is about to be euthanized. no gimmick bullshit, new mining mission. enemies don't look cancerous.
>CEO Apologizes
An apology is worthless without a change in behavior.
Why should anyone care if he apologizes if he can't or won't take back the decision which pissed everyone off?
Battlepass is just a way to spread the content for more than 2 weeks. It's not even there to make money outside of desperate moron whales.
There's a reason you earn SC so easily. It's considered the least intrusive microtransaction store page in game history because you'd get it all for free if you just unlocked everything with medals as you play anyway.
Well, Sony has fricked every dev he had making games for them. The only real question here is...who's gonna come for a second serving when it's time to hype the PS6?
Additional people who cannot make a PSN account: Everyone across the world who had their PSN account stolen during one of Sony's various data breaches. No, I will not make a new email address just to make a new account. The responsibility of maintaining a PSN account through numerous data breaches does not fall upon me. Thankfully Steam is sure to issue me a refund, because I would otherwise return to piracy and Gabe insists piracy is a service problem.

makes me think about teardown devs, they made a great game with tons of content even a free great dlc, they got bought by embracer and the released a paid dlc which isn't even half as good as the free one
at least embracer sold them so they now have creative freedom again
If it was always going to be this way, they should have either prevented it from being sold in countries where PSN is not available or have held the game back until the issues where resolved.
I truly hate to see Helldivers fricked over and Arrowhead dropping the ball this hard, whether this was forced by Sony or not
but I fricking love to see consumer riots frick them in the ass and force them to walk it back or die for doing it, and I very much hope they do either walk it back and have all the success in the world, or fail to and bring the AAA ponzi scheme down with them
I feel all articles about this should specify that literally the only reason they want your accounts linked is so that Sony can ban you for saying no no words easier
if they did that articles would say this is a good thing

Anyone defending this as if account linking is nothing more than a momentary inconvenience is either moronic or deranged. I cannot make a PSN account, my email is already taken. I would not tie my Steam account to one even if I could.

I was one of the first ever gmail users. My email address is just my first [email protected]. I will never change it or create alternative email addresses to access garbage services. I will get a refund from Steam because I live in a civilized country with proper consumer laws (Australia) and not a shithole like the US which actively screws over their citizens. You are defending a company allowing user data to be accessed by criminals, and encouraging people to make new accounts on that same platform after account theft. Reflect upon yourself. I have to believe that you're a moronic ESL pajeet shill, given you're suggesting I should have made a new account in response to me saying I long ago decided never to make a new account. Learn enough English to follow a conversation thread you fricking moron. You only had to read two posts and you couldn't even manage that. I want you to know that I'm not just calling you a moron in an online argument sense; I genuinely believe you to be mentally impaired in some way. You have genuinely convinced a living human that you are either a pajeet or a dumbass.
I said that I WILL get a refund, not that I already have. READ, dumbass. Steam is so fricking slow to respond to refund requests that there's no way it'll get processed before this thread is archived. I'll keep in mind to screenshot my successful refund for use in future threads so I can make fun of USgays getting israeliteed though, thanks for the tip.

I will, and then I'm going to reacquire Helldivers 2 for like $10 during a sale after Sony backpedals on the PSN account link.
i just really liked the systems of mgs5 and love survival games
mgs was a game i wished for since the first encounter with the fog homies and you gays shat on it because of some celeb gay who went on and made a boring game
i feel betrayed and i will haunt this place
This has been known for generations. It's comprised of by and large by actual Black folk and whites who want to be Black folk more than anything else.
It's Black folk and thirdies. The reason is simple: both of these groups are poor, so once they somehow manage to save enough money to buy a PS5 they feel the need to defend it until the day they die. They HAVE to be loyal to Snoy to make that waste of money worth it.
You're not insane, you and your friends are just too stupid to click "skip" instead of complying with Sony israelitery. A typical suggestible consumer.
>he didn't hit Skip to wait out whether it would actually be any kind of requirement or under the assumption it was literally only for crossplay with PS5 (which it was up to now, and who the frick would want to?)
I'm sorry they got to you anon
>Be Chef >Big company agrees to help pay to start a restaurant with you >In exchange, you have to cut off the hands of half of your patrons >you agree >"I just wanted to cook great food"
>i just want to make le good games guys! 😉
He must be working on another game then because this one is astroturfed dogshit. I've been vindicated once again
>Underwhelming FF7Rebirth sales according to squeenix compared to Pt.1 because their timed exclusive bullshit >SB gets censored and people are cancelling their PSN plus subscriptions >Tsukihime artbook gets censored for the PS4, meanwhile the fricking Switch version is uncensored >Helldivers 2 is now required to have a PSN account linked to it, >More and more exclusives are moving to PC
Is there ANY reason to back Snoy or be a fanboy? furthermore, why the frick do companies still partner with them? every decision so far has been an utter disaster.
>non-negligible chunk of pc players refuse to comply >remaining players are mostly console kiddies
probably going to be a noticeable decrease in competence of randos in near future
>non-negligible chunk of pc players refuse to comply
Sony picked the absolute worst time to do this. People have been playing the shit out of this game for 3 months, which is long enough to be sick of it and it's bullshit patches that betray it's true status as an early access game falsely advertised as a final product. Add to that competitor titles like DRG and EDF are getting updates and an entirely new game, and it's never been easier to tell Arrowhead and Sony to suck a dick.
since they are making the game unplayable without linking an account despite that not being the case at launch, it's grounds for a full refund regardless of playtime. you only need to be sure you're speaking with a human rep at valve and not the automated service
I will. I had fun with it for a few months but I'm not willing to jump through new random additional hoops just to keep utilizing my property. People have every right to be angry about this, for multiple legitimate reasons.
>but I doubt they'll stop playing.
No need for doubt, we already have a few players in thread saying they will. I don't need my data getting sold or "hacked" due to some frickup/greed on Sony's part. >it's not your property btw
I disagree.
I highly doubt that's true, because if it were then people wound't be complaining about not owning their games.

Has that ever went to court? Has someone had their game taken away, sued the company and then won by saying EULA is not binding?
It might not even be an EULA issue, companies do their best to cover their ass legally.
I doubt it. Games being 'taken away' on a large scale is a fairly recent thing. I don't think anyone who has been banned for cheating has ever taken the dev/publisher to court over it, for instance.
In any case, b***hing about it for an always online GAAS is pointless. Normally you would just pirate the game since you legally purchased/own a license for a copy of the software, but consumers in the US don't have a lot of recourse.
It turns out that pushing a company's shit in is way more fun than playing a video game so I think you might be wrong on that one. People in the world are so hungry for even the tiniest sliver of justice right now.
Why is everyone defending the CEO? He released a half baked game and their "team" can't even fix it.
Sony may be demonic, but it's not like Arrowhead isn't blameless here. This PSN shit is just the breaking point.
100% this. Frick Arrowhead. They could find the time to piddle around tweaking weapons but they couldn't even fix the fricking scopes? I couldn't give a shit if they never make another game.
>Why is everyone defending the CEO?
because they're focusing on the robber instead of the getaway driver
100% this. Frick Arrowhead. They could find the time to piddle around tweaking weapons but they couldn't even fix the fricking scopes? I couldn't give a shit if they never make another game.
>Why is everyone defending the CEO? >it's not like Arrowhead isn't blameless here.
out of a comfortable kind of wishful thinking that might or might not be a fiction, but serves a useful, practical purpose in making snoy's triggerman into a victimized figurehead against snoy's actions, a pleasant motivator for people to believe that 'their' company can win against its publisher-parent with the assistance of the rioting consumer. True or not, it's a sentimental utility to exploit in taking all parties involved to task.
If push comes to shove, he won't have much choice except to lean into the role of the begrieved subordinate with the possibility of it becoming a reality as Pileshidt wonders why the stupid corporate homosexuals at Sony wouldn't let him make the PSN link permanently and officially optional with some petty Super Credit bribe to let him keep printing money while still fluffing the PSN subscription numbers, over burning it all to ashes for nothing.
it's probable >A: Pileshidt has to kowtow to the consumers and arrange for their demands to be met either against Sony's wishes or on their order and play the face, humiliating Arrowhead and Sony as they're forced to eat crow for overstepping >B: Pileshidt has to triple down on the bullshit he's eating or being made to eat by Sony in a full heel turn, humiliating and enraging the playerbase and making the original 50k target playerbase look gigantic compared to the rump left
in scenario A, Helldivers lives on to make plenty more money and serve as a foot in the door to the PC market for Sony with PSN linking being optional and serving as a small if compelling argument over Microsoft forcing the use of their own account system.
In scenario B, the game will at best be zombified, its success squandered and only making a fraction of the profit it potentially might have in A off a handful of whales instead of the multi million initial base and half million concurrent players, and at worst will just fricking die in the next year because of financial & managerial havoc that potentially reaches up to Sony's corporate board because of their seeming meddling hand in the 'they want PSN numbers pumped for the Paramount purchase' theory.
As I said, after my refund I'm simply going to reacquire the game on sale after Sony backpedals. The only winner here is me. Or, I guess, anyone else from Australia or EU who will also get refunds and then repurchase the game dirt cheap.
i just wanna make great games... can you please like me again?? i said i wanna make great games...
Let. Him. Fricking. Cook.
I feel for the guy. this is all on Sony california. just like it was with Stellar Blade
Swedish.Meatballs.at.Ikea
Does he even have any control over this or are Sony mandating it?
At some point it is his fault alone. If hes with sony he signed up with sony no one forced him.
Lay in the bed you make.
>store page clearly says PSN account required from day 1

Should have forced it since day 1.

and it wasnt required
so they committed fraud

pick your poison
Its definitely both.
>Snoy wants PSN link to be an incentivized option
>Arrowhead wants mandatory PSN link because it makes banning people much easier for them
Arrowhead hasn't expressed much interesting in directly moderating player behavior thus far, mostly just encouraging people with complaints to use the Block/Ignore tools and curate their own games.
Sony is pushing for ALL live service games to be free on PS+ as a market push to compete with Gamepass
Your $40 purchase of Helldivers 2 was only meant to pay for your first year of service
It’s both, anyone saying it’s one or the other is a shill
Why would the developer ever care about any such shit? They get paid to make the game. Only the publisher benefits from all the data gathering and microtransaction nonsense. Unless of course the publisher is the developer.
The developer should have thought of that before jumping into bed with Sony
The people who fake outrage should have thought of that before buying the game.
>fake outrage
sore loser

It's Sony's. Arrowhead would have a non disparagement agreement with Sony in their contract.
Not playing this trash and continuing to play EDF is my decision.
There are no innocent actors here.
Also the only victim is the customer.
Don't fall for their PR propaganda
Sony's publishing rights probably gives them a great deal of say.
And the "Link Playstation Account" was something that was always in the game from day one, but disabled because of network issues. Just trying to turn it back on after all this time is a massive rug pull even though this was supposed to be the way it was intended from the start.
> the "Link Playstation Account" was something that was always in the game from day one
Actually you can buy it right now from the Sony store and it specifically says that an account isn't required.
PC steam version btw.
https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/buy-games/helldivers-2-pc
Forgot my pic.
>"currently"
Got 'em
>Playstation Studios titles also offer incentives for linking your Steam and PSN accounts.
The incentive in this instance is that you wont get fricking banned. Pretty solid incentive if you ask me.
As crazy as it seems, that single word "currently" really is all they need to completely cover their bases as far as the court of law is concerned. Steam users really got BTFO hard on this one.
how about this one that they just happened to change today of all days
Technically could be interpreted as needing to MAKE an account but not being required to log into the thing.
This is actually correct, "signing in" is optional. "Account creation" is not.
you require signing in to confirm the email address
I would need to see the rest of that document to make a determination. For all I know the next sentence could be "until [specified date] before blah blah changes."
As scummy as it is, law shit almost always comes down to those little hidden individual words, clauses, and exemptions.
again, thats totally fine because as of now it is optional. They will need to change it once helldivers requires PSN
Holy shit. This seems very incompetent of Arrowhead/Sony, to CONTINUE false advertising after the fact.
It's aggravated by the fact you get nothing in return.
The game is proven functional without it. You can already play with PS5 players and put them on a (mostly) functional in-game friend list. There's no in-game reward for signing up, no SC or a shitty exclusive gun like that MP-98 Knight. No additional features or functionality. You gain absolutely nothing by linking a PSN account except Sony will deign to let you continue playing the game you already bought. There reasoning is solely
>Shoulda read da fine print, goy!
That's pretty fricking infuriating.
Shoulda read da fine print, goy! now sign up
>Noooooo I really want to spam slurs like Black person shit c**t fart on a Sony published game to PS5 players noooooooooooo
>You can't block me for hackering nooooooooooooooo
Cope and seethe kek, if you're using a mic on this game instead of the ingame spot system you're probably trash anyway.
>It's aggravated by the fact you get nothing in return.
It's funny how developers all uses agile but never follow their first rule.
The user story's format, “As a [persona], I [want to], [so that].”, can easily tell them this is a huge disaster.
>As a player, I want to link my PSN accounts, so that.... so that.... I don't get it, how does it benefit me?
They wanted it implemented originally but couldn't get it to work.
They have a deadline to get it working by gay people month.
Snoy really wants to keep their ESG lifeline up.
Sony is forcing their entire live service line up to be free under PS+ as an answer to Gamepass
Whole industry is about to be a subscription service
>Whole industry is about to be a subscription service
you mean a failure like stadia?
>Does he even have any control over this or are Sony mandating it?
Publishers have a say on what to do with your game if they’re publishing. Gameworkshop has their show being turned woke on purpose because a leak came out saying Bezos wants to buy them on the cheap when their stock dips, just check YouTube for the matter.
This was meant to be done at launch so he probably had a say in it. The fact that he was very silent in whether or not they’d require a psn account going forward is very telling
CEO Lives Matter
Of course it's Sony.
Arrowhead said outright that its purely a Sony thing.
Arrowhead also said this
>are Sony mandating it?
Yes.
MAYBE DON'T PARTNER UP WITH THIS COMMIEFORNIA israeli CORPORATION
"she" isn't saying that
Sony wants more "active" PSN players to brag about to shareholders. Don't get how people don't know this.
that's not what this is about. Sony is ultimately trying to make steam users subscribe to ps+ to play any game on steam that they publish
According to the CEO of Arrowhead, Sony is mandating it. But also according to the CEO of Arrowhead, Sony cannot mandate it as Sony does not own Arrowhead. Also, their community manager says that Arrowhead is doing it to ban people more efficiently across all platforms.
I guess it depends on which separate damage control statement you want to believe.
Sony can probably mandate it due to the terms of their contract.
did he really say sony cant mandate it? when?
He still deserves part of the blame for partnering with Snoy in the first place. Everyone should know by now how fricking moronic they are.
humiliation ritual
I'm honestly surprised he's pointing at Sony. Insomniac changed Peter's face and said some bullshit about mocap but we all know it was Sony who called the shot. Ditto ND's statement about Factions 2. Arrowhead hasn't learned how to be first party elite yet.
sounds like the CEO panicked and just blurted out the truth without realizing the consequences that come from it.
>it's not your property btw
if buying isn't owning then pirating isn't stealing.
>pirating isn't stealing.
Never was.
then why do i get a letter full of threats in the mail from my ISP if i torrent a movie without a vpn?
because your ISP expects you to cuck out and stop
still is considered a crime even if it's not enforced, which is the point of saying
>piracy isn't stealing
was.
was just a pointless contrarian comment
wow, it's a crime according to the criminals. how compelling
i'm not speaking in favor of the law dumbass i'm just saying that it exists. that's why people say pirating isn't stealing if buying isn't owning. if it wasn't considered illegal in the first place then this phrase wouldn't exist. how else do you need me to break this down for you?
>if it wasn't considered illegal in the first place then this phrase wouldn't exist.
"considered" is not the same as "is". the ones who consider it as illegal need to "consider" taking a long walk off a short pier
>veers off into irrelevant rant and more combative behavior, the original point totally lost to time

OMG WHAT!!!! YOU MEAN THE DEVIL BURNED ME?!
Memes aside idk what it is about swedes but they seem to have this thing for picking literally the worst fricking options humanly possible for any situation. Both Fatshark and Arrowhead now have done it, from siding with tencent, using outdated anti cheat software that does not work.
Both of them are using an Autodesk game engine that was fricking depreciated back in 2018.
They just seem to zero in on the worst fricking possible choices they can make.
Swedes are very trusting people

Sony has funded all their games. No Sony, no games.

Why is he apologizing? This is Sonys decision, not his
Yeah I'm sure the CEO has nothing to do with Sony having this degree of control over the game.
cause it's part of his contract to intercept the bullets directed to sony
According to arrowhead it was their own decision, since Sony does now own them.
*does not
What's he even apologising for? Arrowhead did literally nothing wrong
They updated their game for force psn activation.
He
It. Idfk. Idfc either.
Sony lost.
Don't care.
Refunded and bought BG3.
I miss this James bond. I don't want the other one with the balls cut off.
Didnt he get them smashed by a rope.
based, also buy BG3 on GOG
no thanks I'm straight, not mentally ill

THEN THAT FRICKING CHUCKLE FRICK c**t SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT FRICK HIM FRICK ARROWHEAD FRICK ALL THE FRICKING TROONS AND ESPECIALLY FRICK SONY PONIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>want to make great games
>makes a mediocre game that people only like because there's nothing good out
Huh.
He should just ride it out. The outrage Black folk will cry and seethe and make an account and noone will care in a month.
He has to ride it out and it is going to ruin his studio.
They did the same thing about the anti-cheat ahead of launch. They'll eventually get tired of shitting themselves in their tard rage and quietly fall in line.
I refunded Black person, I'm out
The end of buying games is here
The majority of games currently in development are live service and they will all be under Gamepass/PS+
>b-but I just wanna make good games!
tough luck homosexual gg get sent to the shadow realm
Wtf is this webm
its the prequel to balan
You're fault for going with Sony then. Should have just released it on PC on your own.
>makes deal with the devil (Snoy)
>wtf why are bad things happening?
>Accept corpo funding
>Complain when corpo mismanages things
They'll never learn.
Buy the Magicka rights back from Paradox and make a Magicka 3.
I don't own the game, and have 0 desire to buy their game. But people would be a lot less butt hurt, if the PSN was added at the start. Plus you have an EU country unable to even make a PSN account.
>we understand that while this may be an "inconvenience" to some of you, this step will help us continue to build a community you're all proud to be part of
What do you call this attitude? The complete disregard for people who can't even play with a ps account due to their regions.
standard business-man spinning a negative as a positive
legit why he's the goat

>mainly because "Republicans buy shoes too"
I disagree with him politically but I can respect him.

the modern developer
Yeah just typical PR speak.
Never admit fault (for legal reasons)
only express that something vaguely unfortunate happened and you are very sad
that you will vaguely do something to make people happy
and that everyone should be hopeful for the vague future
Standard corporate speak to not admit liability
corpo speak for go frick yourself.
business corporate yap
What regions would that be
Since if you mean russia then thats a good thing?
PSN is only supported in like 60-70 countries outside of 200+ countries
Those are the only counties with a player count and money where that matters.
Ganker is full of thirdies though so I'm not surprised there's so much seething.
Sounds like whole bunch of npc countries
PR speak 101
He should have been more open about the fact they were going to require psn accounts still, this homosexual isn’t innocent in this
This. There was no indication anywhere in my 200+ hours of play that I was going to be forced to make a PSN account at some point. The fact I was able to play over 200 hours without one means the steam store page has had false information on it this whole time.
The game tells you a psn account is required, it’s not just on steam
Shut up, you illiterate Black person. There was one splash screen the first time I booted the game up and it let me skip. Zero indication that I was going to be forced into this.
>Open up Ubisoft game/Minecraft/various other studios like KSP
>You need an account to play online
>What
>No
>Reeeeee
>Make one anyway because who the frick cares if you're not a ho or a hacker because they have your data anyway from steam.
If you ignored that it’s your own fault Sony scammed you out of money. Don’t be stupid next time
They changed it today lol
if big true
>Taking backshot from Sony
>I just want to make great games

I refunded Superhot for censoring my video game, and a few Capcom games for adding in bs DRM after I bought the game already.
>According to Sony, "technical issues" were to blame for Helldivers 2's account linking being temporarily optional on launch.
Okay this is definitely some rugpull shit
Launch without requiring access and then say uh uh uh time to pay the piper once hooked
Real drug dealer "the first taste is free" shit
Both are complicit then Sony and Arrowhead. They both knew the heist from the start.
If he just wanted to make good games why did he get in bed with Sony?
You still don't need ps+ for the pc version, right?
If microjeet doesn't force us to use xbox gold, snoy shouldn't either
we really don't know since there's no PSN account linked multiplayer game on steam yet
never forget Games for Windows Live. micro tried but it flopped
Well, I got my finger on the refund trigger until then.
PLEASE just shut the frick up. PCgays are exactly why nobody wants to make games for the PC. I don't know why you all hate Sony so much.
>PLEASE just shut the frick up.
No reason to do that.

G.O.Y.
>All your data
Steam already gives it to them moron, they don't need your permission Sony is a partner already.
If you used the email address for steam, Sony has access to your email and account name already without even signing into PSN.
All this does is tie it to a PSN account, it loterally gives them no more data than they already had.
Name one time steam has given away data outside of actual illegal activities
steam routinely supplies data to developers using their platform and sell to market research companies
>Source: my ass
you are hopelessly moronic if you think steam isn't selling your data.
Still waiting on that source
not my problem because i'm not that anon and it's nobody's job to spoonfeed you anything. if you want to be willfully moronic that's on you

it must be really hard being as stupid as you
Do you have get the last word no matter what our are you just that much of a b***h
just reminding you that steam is selling your data even if you pull the covers over your head and pretend it doesn't exist
I accept your concession
steam is selling your data
I accept your concession
but do you accept that steam is selling your data? they are going to do it with or without your permission anyway, but you do understand it right?
I just said I accept your concession, trying to get the last word in won't end well for you
let me guess, you think Ganker isn't selling your data either? one day you're gonna have to grow up anon.
Ganker has record proof of doing so, I've yet to hear your claim beyond schizo shit so keep coping and trying so hard to get that last word in, I can go all night.
>WELL IF THEY'RE DOING IT THEN HOW COME THEY DIDN'T ASK MY PERMISSION
like i said. hopelessly moronic.

crazy how a moron like you lashes out like this at someone who's only trying to help. hopelessly moronic
You're projecting again but I wouldn't expect a moron to figure that out
projecting again? when was the first time? you think companies aren't selling your data because you're either moronic or you're a boomer stuck in the 80s. there's no excuse for being this tech illiterate in current year

arguing with someone as bonecrushingly moronic as you is as effective as arguing with a chinese person, it's like you can't even read words and only use communication to signal your anger

but i'm right and you are wrong, and not only are you wrong but you are also a moronic idiot which enhances my correctness.
Okay moron, but I have no intention of playing along your delusions
you have lost. i defeated you. how does it feel, being defeated?
Actually, I think I'm the winner in this case but feel free to cope with your loss
wrong. if you pay attention to the facts, anyone spectating can see that you are a moronic dumbass who plays with legos, and probably plays games on console, in which your data is also being sold.

If you say so but you've lost
i've blown you out and annexed your territory Black person, it's over
You literally have been destroyed on a molecular level by now just accept your loss and save face
I've read this entire post chain and you didn't post a shred of evidence for your original claim. You're a moron and a homosexual and you're desperately flailing to protect your b***h ego on an anonymous image board. have a nice day immediately you pathetic loser.
What fricking data? How many Black folk per second certain IP ranges post?
They can magically hack your computer or phone, didn't you know?
>They can magically hack your computer or phone, didn't you know?
they don't need to do that, your ISP provides them that data when you click "not a bot", what the frick did you think cloudflare was for? lmfao how do you even navigate through life being this fricking stupid and naive?
Pure whataboutism. Some places selling your data doesn't mean you should accept absolutely everyone selling your data.
Oh no, are you going to find my house and shart on my keyboard kek.

Jesus christ what an unholy mob.
Imagine being a corpo shill trying to damage control this right now
It's so bad the CEO had to reply holy shit they're getting rekt
I kneel
And Twitter. And Youtube. And Steam Community.
This is huge. This is worse than NMS and DD2 combined.
Hopefully all the angry people share their hate with sony, too.

>community_manager
They always pick the most bootlicking homosexual for this role
How about they give me a refund
Wait until they fully force psn, then steam will give you a refund I practically guarantee it, just don't use the regular refund as that's only for 2 hour or less playtime refunds.
Is every """community manager""" a passive aggressive shitstain?
it's the only job they can get with their useless social science degree
Either one of three things:
>passive aggressive homosexual
>oingo boingo heckin' wholesome homosexual
>useless homosexual that can't even do their job in any capacity
Yes. Tangentially related, frick Beamdog.
This seems mostly harmless and he's not wrong. I don't know about his other posts but there's definitely tons of morons on the steam forums.
"IS DIS GAME DED?????"
Meanwhile xyz game updated 3 days ago and the moron above never checked the news feed.
It's a little more complicated than one post. I'm not sure how many people remember this, but Beamdog repeatedly pushed back certain version of the EEs, prioritizing patches for certain folks, I wanna say they pushed BG2:EE for PC out the door before the Android version of BG:EE dropped, which was not the order things were originally laid out. As is usual these days, the games were pretty rough early on and patches weren't as forthcoming as they laid out, either.
>instead of admitting he was wrong or simply shutting up yet another CM pulls the victim card and encourages people to do stuff that hurts his company rather than keep his ego in check
Next step is he tells us how he is getting death threats he never proves exist and has to "take time off" from social media to guilt you.
>Next step is he tells us how he is getting death threats he never proves exist and has to "take time off" from social media to guilt you.
kek exactly
Community managers are the most passive aggressive c**ts in existence. I swear these homosexuals must've gotten bullied in high school and now just power trip on telling people off online.

>CEO admits this is an inconvenience
>employed professional mainstream media user is passive aggressive about it
lmao
I really didn't want to but I just posted a negative review because of this passive aggressive moron lol
This is the first time I have ever seen a company rug pull a 3rd party account requirement after launch. People should be able to get full refunds if they want them.
That's a fricking lie. He just wants to make money.
Everyone's playing up the sympathy angle but helldivers 2 was going to shit anyway. Every update broke more than it fixed and everything new they added was unusable for a week. Or forever. There's weapons that didn't work properly day 1 and still don't fricking work. Everyone was already mad at them, this is just the last straw.
And people think they'll be able to add an entire new faction to fight. Lmao the game's going to fall apart at the seems if they try.
I just wanted you to install a rootkit
what are the requirements to make a psn account? Do you need a phone number or is a burner email account enough?
face photo, or a photo ID. I'm not joking
doesn't matter what they are
whatever you do will give sony your steam account info
you wanna do that
Just checked with a burner email.
>Country (and US state if in US)
>Date of Birth
>Email address and password
>Verify the email they sent to you
>First time Sign-In on the PSN website prompts "optional" details that you can skip
>Residential Address, account nickname and your First Last name
You can make all of the personal details up.
Pretty pointless really.
Those steps will leave you with an account that can't play most games (including HD2) because it's not age rated.
To have an "adult" account, they demand a picture of you or your ID.
so another nothingburger. Unless Sony is autistic enough to somehow detect and ban people with burners and fake info
I wouldn’t say it’s a nothing burger, it’s a major annoyance, but anyone who cucks themselves out of a game they enjoy because they need to make a Sony account is a moron, Sony and arrowhead are also morons for making this decision so don’t you dare call me a shill
see
>First forcing the rootkit
>Now PSN
Imagine if HD2 required PS+ on top of PSN I think there would have been actual fricking riots
frick him
frick around and find out
turns out no-one likes Sony (surprise surprise) and no-one can trust them not to get people's data hacked and leaked like it has a dozen times over the last few years
Just login to PSN
Arrowhead CEO Apologizes As Helldivers 2 Is Review Bombed on Steam: 'I Just Want to Suck Sony wiener'
>ceo
>make
This is good. As the backlash might make snoy just make psn optional for all their games on PC in future.
He made a shitty EDF ripoff
Mere hours ago the shills were telling me that review bombing does nothing.
Mare hours?
I honestly feel bad for him. Sony fricked him harder than anybody in all this. But then, when you make a deal with the devil, the price always comes due
Who did xenogears make deal with to die forever?
Squaresoft
This
>Wants to make good games
>Does nothing about an issue that makes the game worse
Hmmm, that's odd
You know just some old fat jap man made this choise. Wife cheating on him. He sleeps in separate beds kids left home
Sony HQ is California
I'm sure he will cry himself to sleep
Awww he fricked his customers poor guy 🙁
its funny that CEOs are still oblivious to the fact no one considers them human
>I just want to make great games
>says CEO after company fricks over players for the 6th time
>log in to kill some bugs
>sony penis inspection officer stops me before I can get into the pod
Just post your ID and face goyim, whats the worst that can happen
This can't be real, holy shit lol.
UK only. It's a 3rd party company the UK government pays to check if you're old enough for 18+ games.
Several companies including Sony legally cannot save the image except to send it to the company in question for verification. I've had to do this for several accounts at this point, this includes microshit, they're legally obligated to delete the image after verification or they get huge fines.
Only if you picked some commie shithole like China or Canada.
Just choose the USA as your country and it only asks for a date of birth, and they're not allowed to check to see if it's legit.
They are forcing ID verification in England and Ireland but its part of a test before they role it out in other countries
>lie about your region
>get caught
>money stolen
What a rotten way to die.
I just want to make a live service scam 🙁
Its still Arrow's fault for getting in bed with Sony. You can't make a decision like deal with them and then go "Oh no it's not my fault!"
>sell your soul to the Devil (aka Snoy)
>DON'T BLAME ME, THEY MADE ME DO IT
Same energy as the asiaticcel in charge of ShiftUp trying to claim censorship was always his vision for the game when Sony told him to do it.
All Helldivers players deserve this for buying Snoy products, and if player count craters and the studio is shitcanned, they deserved it too; should've stayed independent or sigened with a better publisher.
Frick it I'll play bg3 instead
>Woke gate 3

Knowing sony, this could very well be the next step
Both Sony and Microsoft stated that they wanted all live service games to be bundled on PS+/Gamepass to funnel consumers into the service
Nearly all of the games by these companies in production are live service.
The industry is about to become really shit.
about to?
Worse than it is already, every new game is about to be monetized around subscriptions
sounds good to me, won't even have to bother keeping an eye out for good games coming out and just play what i've already got instead
how'd that work out for your netflix, hulu, prime tv, peawiener, appletv+, disney+, ESPN+, paramount+, HBO max subscriptions?
i dont have any of those
i dont even know what half those are, what the frick is a peawiener
After PS+ and Gamepass, Ubisoft, EA, 2k, they are all going to have their own subscription services as well, GTA6 online is being built around it
yeah good
again, going from garbage to even worse subscription garbage just means i can completely tune out from the modern games industry
>don't play Ubishit games
>don't play EA games
>haven't play Trash Theft Auto since San Andreas
Welp. I guess. Um. You won?
Nobody subscribes to those they just type "watch X free online"
>Nobody subscribes to Netflix
Not him but I don't have any of those.
No social media either.
Steam account is the most barebones shit.
You morons are drones.
the guy he is responding to said he is fine with subscription services
There's no doubt they're going to make super credits pay only soon
If they got the requirement working since the beginning then this whole PR disaster would have never happened. Letting people skip the requirement then never bringing it up again until now is just incompetence.
>Trying to play the pity angle
Should have told people straight up (And don't do some fricking slimy HURRR YOU SHOULD HAVE DA STEAM RULES) I mean fricking tell people this upfront in a proper news post
Should have never taken that deal with Sony
Should have went full self publisher
Frick you. Eat shit and die.
Petulant man child review bomb as they still continue to play the game. Kek im enjoying this seethe.
>as they still continue to play the game
i mean it's pretty obvious that people like the game and simply are unhappy with the decision to mandate a sony login. takes a Black person to miss that point
No, you don't get to b***h and moan like this yet continue to play the damn game. Bunch of spoilt little babies lmfao. I can get the point of those who haven't got access to PSN from their country. But people who have PSN crying, b***hing moaning and review bombing? QUIT PLAYING YOU DORKS!
>you don't get to
I can do whatever the frick I want. Cry about it. As long as I hurt your game's sales, I'm happy.
>frogposter says stupid shit and sucks wieners
wow you really shattered my preconceived notions, anyway kys gay
No Helldivers 2?
Anon DRG season 5 is coming in June, so is Shadow of the Erdtree
I will abandon the game immediately if they force shit onto me and it will be replaced immediately
I will not subscribe to PS+/Gamepass, frick these wienersuckers
Player count is dropping.
On a weekend.
When Americans are getting home from school and work.
Game's dead.
>the review bombs are working the CEO and shills are damage controlling and anon thinks everything is fine
Cute innocent frogposter! I hope you can continue playing your game and having fun no matter what!
Yep.
I've never understood boycotts in general. Every single time there's a boycott that makes some sort of news, international or within the community (gaming, shooting, hunting), it's over something I stopped buying a decade ago because the quality dove off a cliff and I found something better.
Like it's always the most rabid of consoomer people making a stink over nothing. Like Black person, stop giving them money, how hard is it? "Well, how am I going to properly critique this without buying it?" I see that cope everywhere from all the people who virtue signal about their "boycott" against whatever company.
>I am pathologically bothered on a existential level by people standing up for themselves
>I NEED TO GO WITH THE FLOW I CAN STAND UP FOR MYSELF
What flow? Are you upset bro? It's okay. Go get under your blankie and all the big bad meanie masculine men having a disagreement with the big daddy corporation will all disappear. 🙂
How about go frick yourself buddy 🙂
You first, you fricking homosexual.
Ohhhh I'm so scared
get a room
>standing up for themselves
If you want to stand up for yourself refund the game and stop playing moron
Review bombing while still playing and giving the devs money changes NOTHING
>refund the game
What do you think people are doing right now moron
i didnt bother with a review because im too lazy but i did get refunded
yea i never understood people who arent doormats
The best part is almost every boycott I hear about never works because the people boycotting still end up buying the product. At this point it’s just funny, people get mad, but never mad enough actually do something
>If I keep repeating to myself then it will happen
Yeah that’s their argument, they just hope their boycott will work through words alone and they won’t have to actually do anything. I wish people would do shit, Sony will keep sucking if nobody does shit for example
Sure, that's why companies are so scared of them that they tried to make it illegal, right?
Companies should fear boycotts, but they don’t have to because people are lazy. People should get off their asses and be the change they want to be but that’ll never happen
No. They just wait it out. Everybody making a stink about it goes right back to buying.
>PC gamers make everyone feel unwelcome in their community
>Even literal developers and the biggest name in video games ever since the original PlayStation.
I can't wait for PC gaming to fricking die. You would be the first ones to find anyone's dick to suck if it meant you could get Bloodborne or Stellar Blade on PC, but you can't stand having to just sign in to a PlayStation account. You're pathetic. Frick every single one of you.
Cry harder shill, the standards kept here are the only reason PC gaming isn't fricking dead
Frick you.
No. Frick you. And Frick sony. Kys
EAT POOP moron
>muh inclusion!
kys
You sleep with the dogs, you get the fleas.
Rugpulls are illegal
only if you don't golf with a politician during your 4 hour long lunch break
Not if multibillion dollar corporations do it.
CEOs really think saying Sorry is a get out of jail free card
people literally went back and changed there review
holy shit
What's funny is noone will give a shit, they will make a Sony goy account to finish the last of the in game progression and then quit eventually like they all will. It's a half price game for a reason, it only has so much content.
I bet half of them quit already before this shit even happened, it's not like they actually care.
wow just wow
crying snoys, crying shills. a double feature! you love to see it.
Shame. Maybe next time they won't associate with sony. Until then, I'm waiting for my refund.
>Need an ID to make a PSN account in the UK
>The Baltics can't make PSN accounts even though they are in the EU
Did somebody say ID?
Yep, I requested a refund. Frick Sony. First they censored Stellar Blade and now this. FRICK YOU! Never playing Helldivers 2 again and you can shove Bloodborne exclusivity up your ass. Sony has done nothing good for a decade.
>I'm gonna refund
>IMM GONNA DO IT
>THIS TIME I SWEAR I AM
Refund sent. cope and seethe.
Lmao good luck. Enjoy getting denied.
They nerfed literally one thing (railgun) and bugged a couple others, (eruptor) the new nerfs aren't huge and don't really stop me running t9s, the ammo pack now had value to some low ammo weapons in a team, and now I EAT, arc and AT spam t9 bugs with rocket headshots and 500kg for fun instead of plinking with railguns. Nothing changed and the game is as easy as ever.
Only crybaby plebs whined about the recent nerfs, because they lacked the capability to use anything besides meta picks and playing moronic.
It's not that hard, shill. They're nurfing shit all the time anyway.
I will now pirate all future and past playstation games.
>now
If you bought any Snoy port ever, you're part of the problem and deserve this nut punch.
>If you bought any Snoy port ever
I haven't!
Oh Ganker, you know me too well.
you haven't been already?
But people do not want to refund the game. They want to keep playing it they way they've done for months.
>Sell out to Sony to push your shitty game
>Sony bend you over and fricks you hard and dry
Nature is healing.
How is the bigger issue not the invasive DRM still infesting this game?
linux.
I promise the vast majority of players are not on linux.
Why care about the majority of players when the issue is mostly a personal one?
I'm not really asking you to personally care about everyone else. I'm saying why is NOBODY ELSE making a stink about that? People who are affected.
I guess because most people are fine with it.
Well they shouldn't be.
That shit is exactly why I can't be asked to care about the plight of the HD2 players. They already showed once that they absolutely suck at protesting shit this game does, and NOW they're whining about how the game is asking them to bend over? Fricking please. This will blow over in a month just like the last Helldivers 2 related autism blew over in a month.
Well, that nProtect shit is a dealbreaker for me at least.
welp, too bad
that's what you get for dealing with basedny
if xbox wouldn't have shit the bed already, they would have won the console war
or maybe because basedny won, they are now forcing all this bullshit
People will make the account
The game is fun. People want to play it. They won't stop they never do
The massive negative reviews, and the CEO being forced to reply to beg to differ that this boycott is "ineffective"
Your defeatist narrative of "the corporations have already won" is crumbling
Corporations aren't gods, stop treating them as such
if lefties accept that corporations aren't omniscient omnipotent entities they'd have to actually try doing something instead of whining in closed forums
You are young and naive. We have simply been here before. The game is too fun to be stopped now.
>The game is too fun to be stopped now
anon, season 5 of deep rock and shadow of the erdtree is coming right after they force this change, the illuminate isn't stronger than those two together
>deep rock
Bro I fricking love that game but it’s all drip feed now there is no more major content for it. Elden Ring though
You have literally read none of their announcements at all, everything you know about DRG's updates comes from morons on Ganker who want a new tortanic.
season 5 honestly looks decent enough even though the game is about to be euthanized. no gimmick bullshit, new mining mission. enemies don't look cancerous.
It was, newest season is actually a godsend, everything i wanted, this was basically the damage control ripcord patch
>deep reddit
shit woke troony game past it's prime
Return to left 4 dead
How is male only, no female skeletons or frames, a woke troony game?
they remove voicelines for trannies and add le heckin wholesome gay voicelines while making trannies feature in game. It is a pozzed shitshow
>deep rock
censored garbage
>say I wish people would do something
> this somehow makes me a defeatist
Are you moronic?
No. You're still going to be playing the game and giving them money.
Oh yes I will, Black person.
>CEO Apologizes
An apology is worthless without a change in behavior.
Why should anyone care if he apologizes if he can't or won't take back the decision which pissed everyone off?
Okay, I'm sold. Submitting my blood sample to Sony now.
If that was true he wouldn't have a battle pass or any of the other dumb shit.
if you want a small game to be playable and exciting for a long period of time, that is an acceptable evil
Battlepass is just a way to spread the content for more than 2 weeks. It's not even there to make money outside of desperate moron whales.
There's a reason you earn SC so easily. It's considered the least intrusive microtransaction store page in game history because you'd get it all for free if you just unlocked everything with medals as you play anyway.
man I feel bad for all you fotm enjoyers. good luck with the boycott and refunds lmao
>make deal with devil
>suffer
WTF
>Burned the coal
>Paid the toll
All seems to check out
Sony is clearly hinting that PS+ is coming to PC
100%
Ps5 is pretty much a PC with a PS4 emulator chip in it.
The game should have been review bombed day one for the stupid fricking spyware anticheat. frick him
Well, Sony has fricked every dev he had making games for them. The only real question here is...who's gonna come for a second serving when it's time to hype the PS6?
maybe he should have, you know, made great games
>Can't say Niger
>cannot type Niger
lol are they fricking serious
so nothing of value has been lost?
what if we spun this into sony being racist toward africans and asians and fueled this shitftorm further
We've found the only list where China and India aren't default internet bans.
Additional people who cannot make a PSN account: Everyone across the world who had their PSN account stolen during one of Sony's various data breaches. No, I will not make a new email address just to make a new account. The responsibility of maintaining a PSN account through numerous data breaches does not fall upon me. Thankfully Steam is sure to issue me a refund, because I would otherwise return to piracy and Gabe insists piracy is a service problem.
>g*orgian trash can't play anymore
holy based
what did they do to you?
they racist ass piece of shit
Niger-bros...
How dare they!?
Helldivers 2 forums completely wiped
.
anon you are fricking moronic
Click on the general discussion on the right side, dumbass. People are still raging.
anon...
lol they set the default tab to readme and faqs to bait morons like you
Yeah it's still there.
That would've been unprecedented to wipe an entire steam forum in the middle of a PR shitstorm
How the frick do you manage to keep breathing?
Anyone else want PCgays to have their own board to shit up?
Don't you have a Nintendo thread to whine in, snoy?
this is the PC board. go to the Sony forums homosexual and make sure to kick yourself in the balls on the way out.
lol what balls? sony phonies don't have any
of course youd know troony
Don't ever forget that when you have posts like these, you can report them. These are instigate flamewars and it's blatant. If you're tired of this shit, report it.
it's on topic, sperglord.
"troony Sony ponies don't have balls!!! LOLLOLOL!!!" has nothing to do with the topic. It can be reported.
>mooooods stop him he's bullying the multi billion dollar corporation again and by proxy myself even though i swear i don't like them, honest! T-T
you are a font of entertainment, truly. like a dancing monkey who gets salted peanuts thrown at its eyes. i hope arrowhead goes under AND sony is forced to frick off from their nonsense.
You literally offer nothing but insults and instigating flame wars, so don't act like you don't deserve getting reported. You did that shit to yourself.
sony did it to themselves and you know it. you reap what you sow.
Don't ever forget that we have to share the board with mentally challenged consoleBlack folk like this poster here.
you're in it, you can go back to plebbit anytime though
is it even possible for sony's wiener to be rammed any further down your throat?
Lurking these threads, everyone on each side is moronic in their own unique way, this controversy is fun
Based radical centrist always blessing both sides with his presence on every debate.
I hope you have a nice laugh and a good day!
I do not deserve that anon, but thank you I hope you have one as well
Stop working with israelites and having homosexual moderators for your communities and you can go back to making them dumbass
makes me think about teardown devs, they made a great game with tons of content even a free great dlc, they got bought by embracer and the released a paid dlc which isn't even half as good as the free one
at least embracer sold them so they now have creative freedom again
"We just want to sell guns and rugpull them later"
Nah eat shit. All of the good will has been nerfed away.
They did.
Letting Sony bend them over was the mistake.
If it was always going to be this way, they should have either prevented it from being sold in countries where PSN is not available or have held the game back until the issues where resolved.
Remember to enable cross-play and teamkill all PSN players at extraction before linking and banning becomes possible.
I truly hate to see Helldivers fricked over and Arrowhead dropping the ball this hard, whether this was forced by Sony or not
but I fricking love to see consumer riots frick them in the ass and force them to walk it back or die for doing it, and I very much hope they do either walk it back and have all the success in the world, or fail to and bring the AAA ponzi scheme down with them
For me its when journos rush out calling it review "bombing".
I feel all articles about this should specify that literally the only reason they want your accounts linked is so that Sony can ban you for saying no no words easier
i dont even care about that, i literally just cant be bothered making an account so i got a refund instead
if they did that articles would say this is a good thing
sony are dumb that they aren't running with this narrative because then all the media sites would be defending them instead
Then make good games, moron.
>BUT PLEASE LET ME RAPE YOUR ASS!!!
No.
they should fire this gay and and pic related should do a takeover.
Pic related is a moron using a female avatar and is failing to consider that many people literally can't use their email address to create a PSN account due to
If these morons want to force PSN connectivity after over a decade of data breaches and stolen accounts, then they're out of their mind. Anyone defending this as if account linking is nothing more than a momentary inconvenience is either moronic or deranged. I cannot make a PSN account, my email is already taken. I would not tie my Steam account to one even if I could.
>still using same psn since ps3 days even after the breach
skill issue 3rd world Black person
an hero yourself and pray you are born in a 1st world country
I was one of the first ever gmail users. My email address is just my first [email protected]. I will never change it or create alternative email addresses to access garbage services. I will get a refund from Steam because I live in a civilized country with proper consumer laws (Australia) and not a shithole like the US which actively screws over their citizens. You are defending a company allowing user data to be accessed by criminals, and encouraging people to make new accounts on that same platform after account theft. Reflect upon yourself. I have to believe that you're a moronic ESL pajeet shill, given you're suggesting I should have made a new account in response to me saying I long ago decided never to make a new account. Learn enough English to follow a conversation thread you fricking moron. You only had to read two posts and you couldn't even manage that. I want you to know that I'm not just calling you a moron in an online argument sense; I genuinely believe you to be mentally impaired in some way. You have genuinely convinced a living human that you are either a pajeet or a dumbass.
post proof that steam refunded or shut the frick up u aussie frick
bloody saar these aussie bastard must not beat us bloody
I said that I WILL get a refund, not that I already have. READ, dumbass. Steam is so fricking slow to respond to refund requests that there's no way it'll get processed before this thread is archived. I'll keep in mind to screenshot my successful refund for use in future threads so I can make fun of USgays getting israeliteed though, thanks for the tip.
you wont get approved for a refund moron
see
I will, and then I'm going to reacquire Helldivers 2 for like $10 during a sale after Sony backpedals on the PSN account link.
He can help help make great games by jumping off a building.
all of you posting are clowns
gamers deserve all the suffering and shit they get
i will never forgive you for metal gear survive
wasn't it just a so-so standalone expansion to Phantom Pain with a focus on melee? tell me your tale anon
i just really liked the systems of mgs5 and love survival games
mgs was a game i wished for since the first encounter with the fog homies and you gays shat on it because of some celeb gay who went on and made a boring game
i feel betrayed and i will haunt this place
alright if you're truly sorry then publicly admit the mandatory PSN stuff is just a mistake and remove it before it even goes live. fair's fair.
>check twitter
>90% of the people defending this are actual Black folk
>"snoyggers" wasn't just a meme after all
Black folk are the biggest bootlickers of snoy, its weird but that's how its always been
>the race that's history is literally only known for being slaves is good at being subservient to their masters
Yeah I don't get it either
Sony is japanese though
Did you miss when they moved their HQ to California somehow?
It's Black folk and thirdies. The reason is simple: both of these groups are poor, so once they somehow manage to save enough money to buy a PS5 they feel the need to defend it until the day they die. They HAVE to be loyal to Snoy to make that waste of money worth it.
This has been known for generations. It's comprised of by and large by actual Black folk and whites who want to be Black folk more than anything else.
/vpol/ is always right
>I just want to rugpull everyone after misleading them for months !
am I going insane? I had to make an account when I started the game, everyone I play with also remembers making an account. Since when is this news?
pcgays are moronic
You're not insane, you and your friends are just too stupid to click "skip" instead of complying with Sony israelitery. A typical suggestible consumer.
There was a skip button on the ps account requirement page like 2 days after the game launched.
>he didn't hit Skip to wait out whether it would actually be any kind of requirement or under the assumption it was literally only for crossplay with PS5 (which it was up to now, and who the frick would want to?)
I'm sorry they got to you anon
oooooooooooof.....
PC chads once again proving they're higher than the lowly console vegans.
>Be Chef
>Big company agrees to help pay to start a restaurant with you
>In exchange, you have to cut off the hands of half of your patrons
>you agree
>"I just wanted to cook great food"
>i just want to make le good games guys! 😉
He must be working on another game then because this one is astroturfed dogshit. I've been vindicated once again
>Underwhelming FF7Rebirth sales according to squeenix compared to Pt.1 because their timed exclusive bullshit
>SB gets censored and people are cancelling their PSN plus subscriptions
>Tsukihime artbook gets censored for the PS4, meanwhile the fricking Switch version is uncensored
>Helldivers 2 is now required to have a PSN account linked to it,
>More and more exclusives are moving to PC
Is there ANY reason to back Snoy or be a fanboy? furthermore, why the frick do companies still partner with them? every decision so far has been an utter disaster.
why did you buy a sony game?
I didn't, I don't have a PS5. Just asking the shills/fanboys that are defending Sony.
>non-negligible chunk of pc players refuse to comply
>remaining players are mostly console kiddies
probably going to be a noticeable decrease in competence of randos in near future
i will schadenfreude irl when this bankrupts arrowhead
>non-negligible chunk of pc players refuse to comply
Sony picked the absolute worst time to do this. People have been playing the shit out of this game for 3 months, which is long enough to be sick of it and it's bullshit patches that betray it's true status as an early access game falsely advertised as a final product. Add to that competitor titles like DRG and EDF are getting updates and an entirely new game, and it's never been easier to tell Arrowhead and Sony to suck a dick.
>post yfw you didn't buy Helldivers 2
I highly doubt people will drop the game just because they have to make an account now.
Some will, some won't. I put in my refund request.
Past two hours of play time, and any steam refund claim gets denied. This is why PC is shit.
since they are making the game unplayable without linking an account despite that not being the case at launch, it's grounds for a full refund regardless of playtime. you only need to be sure you're speaking with a human rep at valve and not the automated service
hope this helps.
The bots deny it. If you keep asking, you'll eventually get a person to look at it. Persistence is key.
Wrong
I will. I had fun with it for a few months but I'm not willing to jump through new random additional hoops just to keep utilizing my property. People have every right to be angry about this, for multiple legitimate reasons.
I mean yeah they can be angry but I doubt they'll stop playing.
it's not your property btw
>it's not your property btw
Theres some interesting lawsuits going on atm anon
You don't own the game dude. They can do whatever they want with it, good or bad.
Thats why theres lawsuits going on in multiple places moron
>lawsuits
lol

Those are goberment petitions and they are going nowhere, both UK and Australia have already told you to frick off with your commie shit.
>but I doubt they'll stop playing.
No need for doubt, we already have a few players in thread saying they will. I don't need my data getting sold or "hacked" due to some frickup/greed on Sony's part.
>it's not your property btw
I disagree.
Your disagreement won't change the EULA.
Thankfully irrelevant in the EU.
I highly doubt that's true, because if it were then people wound't be complaining about not owning their games.
It's irrelevant in many ways.
One of the funniest is telling your computer screen "I don't agree" while looking away and blindly clicking the agree button.
Has that ever went to court? Has someone had their game taken away, sued the company and then won by saying EULA is not binding?
It might not even be an EULA issue, companies do their best to cover their ass legally.

Yes.
I doubt it. Games being 'taken away' on a large scale is a fairly recent thing. I don't think anyone who has been banned for cheating has ever taken the dev/publisher to court over it, for instance.
In any case, b***hing about it for an always online GAAS is pointless. Normally you would just pirate the game since you legally purchased/own a license for a copy of the software, but consumers in the US don't have a lot of recourse.
Irrelevant everywhere.
Not legally binding.
>it's not your property btw
leave it to a hardended consoletard to shill something benefiting his corporate overlords
I haven't had a PS console since PS2, I'm just saying how it is.
In your corporate controlled shitbox, maybe
this image is a rare insight into the third world online
It turns out that pushing a company's shit in is way more fun than playing a video game so I think you might be wrong on that one. People in the world are so hungry for even the tiniest sliver of justice right now.
Was this before or after Australia forced steam to offer refunds?
>no SP
No you didn't.
This is what happens when you sign a contract with the Devil.
Stellar blade devs got fricked too.
Why is everyone defending the CEO? He released a half baked game and their "team" can't even fix it.
Sony may be demonic, but it's not like Arrowhead isn't blameless here. This PSN shit is just the breaking point.
Frick them.
>Why is everyone defending the CEO?
because they're focusing on the robber instead of the getaway driver
100% this. Frick Arrowhead. They could find the time to piddle around tweaking weapons but they couldn't even fix the fricking scopes? I couldn't give a shit if they never make another game.
>Why is everyone defending the CEO?
>it's not like Arrowhead isn't blameless here.
out of a comfortable kind of wishful thinking that might or might not be a fiction, but serves a useful, practical purpose in making snoy's triggerman into a victimized figurehead against snoy's actions, a pleasant motivator for people to believe that 'their' company can win against its publisher-parent with the assistance of the rioting consumer. True or not, it's a sentimental utility to exploit in taking all parties involved to task.
If push comes to shove, he won't have much choice except to lean into the role of the begrieved subordinate with the possibility of it becoming a reality as Pileshidt wonders why the stupid corporate homosexuals at Sony wouldn't let him make the PSN link permanently and officially optional with some petty Super Credit bribe to let him keep printing money while still fluffing the PSN subscription numbers, over burning it all to ashes for nothing.
in other words, and i'm being completely serious when i say this:
it'll turn into a humiliation ritual
it's probable
>A: Pileshidt has to kowtow to the consumers and arrange for their demands to be met either against Sony's wishes or on their order and play the face, humiliating Arrowhead and Sony as they're forced to eat crow for overstepping
>B: Pileshidt has to triple down on the bullshit he's eating or being made to eat by Sony in a full heel turn, humiliating and enraging the playerbase and making the original 50k target playerbase look gigantic compared to the rump left
in scenario A, Helldivers lives on to make plenty more money and serve as a foot in the door to the PC market for Sony with PSN linking being optional and serving as a small if compelling argument over Microsoft forcing the use of their own account system.
In scenario B, the game will at best be zombified, its success squandered and only making a fraction of the profit it potentially might have in A off a handful of whales instead of the multi million initial base and half million concurrent players, and at worst will just fricking die in the next year because of financial & managerial havoc that potentially reaches up to Sony's corporate board because of their seeming meddling hand in the 'they want PSN numbers pumped for the Paramount purchase' theory.
either way, 1 less aussie c**t is a good thing
As I said, after my refund I'm simply going to reacquire the game on sale after Sony backpedals. The only winner here is me. Or, I guess, anyone else from Australia or EU who will also get refunds and then repurchase the game dirt cheap.
you are quite literally moronic
I'm going to assume they wanted to boost their PSN hell diver numbers for investors or some shit. Why did they require psn all of a sudden?
>I take zero responsibility over accepting working for my publisher
