Are we not into Helldivers 2 any longer?
Sometimes we have to make sacrifices to uphold our principles.
Not getting abused by Sony and it’s ilk Is just one of the many principles that we can uphold at minimal risk and for minimal cost.
Oh, found it. Sony decided post-hoc that:
a) You’ll need a PSN account to play Helldivers through Steam, even though why would you need a PSN account?
b) If you’re in a region where you can’t create a PSN account, you just can’t purchase Helldivers anymore, or play it if you’ve already purchased it.
Cool yeah pretty scummy. I thought this meme format was usually used to make fun of people for petty power tripping, but in this case, it seems pretty clear that it’s an appropriate form of protest.
I guess I shouldn’t even look at what game this is since it’s not going well? Lmao
It’s a great game that Sony just casually obliterated. It’s really a shame.
Helldivers 2 is pretty fun when it works, but the game is racking up technical debt at an alarming rate. There’s been several updates and balance changes focused around fire damage, except the fire damage over time effect only works for the player hosting the game, and that bug has been in place for months. There’s still tons of matchmaking bugs and crashes, such that you sometimes spend 15 minutes just trying to actually play the game. Arrowhead is aware of these technical issues, but has mentioned that they cannot fix them because pushing new content is a higher internal priority than maintenace, and their team is too small to effectively do both.
Honestly I wouldn’t just avoid it, but I’d avoid any Sony published multiplayer title in general moving forward. It seems a lot of them end up in this situation where the game prioritizes adding more monetized content to the detriment of anything else.
They denied my refund. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You might’ve gotten an automated denial due to exceeding the standard threshold for refund eligibility. Make another request until it gets human intervention.
