Yep
Now it's "look how many players we lost in a 24 hour period and downvotes"

TBH Sony and Arrowhead def had an agreement tht if they funded ths game thn tht would be a requirement. Arrowhead is jus now following through and they're lucky playstation even gave them a grace period.

Bro I'm 37 years old. I lived through 911, 2008, a endless war friends dying from drugs. The American dream burning to ashes. Covid and both of my parents passing. What kind of "safety" does Sony think I even care about?
40 here. Same, and more. Sony wants to keep the kids "safe" from us otherwise they might learn what evil is out there and be better prepared.
Damn that's a lot of strife to endure in a lifetime. Shame that PSN account is the straw that broke your back. You will be missed, fellow. Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed. FOR FREEEDOOOOM!
38 y/o combat vet here….this is based AF…
Seems Sony enjoys shooting themselves in the foot lately.
When a corpo says they’re doing something “for your safety” you can damn well be sure they’re doing something evil
This is why we can't have nice things.

@@thenumber-os9bc if they gonna roll it back, I will come back.
What makes this especially scummy, is that this game is sold on Steam in regions that can not create a PSN account so once this change hits, those players will lose access to a product they bought. It is wild that the Baltic countries, which are part of the EU cant even make PSN accounts
Class action lawsuit. they are gonna hurt
same here, living in a 3rd world country and we're region locked from PSN, they're saying you can cheat when creating psn acc by lying about region but some says it's a TOS breach idk anymore maybe valve will be refunding us after may 30th? this sux tbh i had so much fun with HD2 im @ 300hrs now
This has already been proven false by people on social media that have screen shots of getting a PSN account, even though it's "not available" in their area. Stop fear mongering and take a few seconds to look online for a solution, instead of whining.
@@baneintherain if this was happening to you, you'd be whining too man. Have some sympathy, some people are barely hearing this.
@@baneintherainthe solution, is a refund.
There's so many people going 'this isn't a big deal, it happens all the time.'
First of all, this is corporate lying. There's literally no extra safety when making the PSN account
Second of all, it was SKIPPABLE for the first three months
Third, this locks out a fair amount of divers who can't get a psn account in their country.
Last.........are they REALLY trusting a corporation just because they SAY it's not going to steal their info?
Womp womp 😂
If anything its an extra vulnerability for people to link. Just adds steam data to PSN meaning hackers won't need to get into steam (Which is much more secure) Just PSN.
They don't verify your address. People can lie about what country they are in....dense much?
Also theis demonstrates that Sony has a sizable level of control over arrowhead. This means that as a DEI company, it's only a matter of time before they start making demands to change the game to meet DEI and ESG requirements.
@@bbwayne11lying about the country you are in goes against Sony TOS
“It’s for your safety” has been a line used by power hungry entities all throughout human history.

2 of my friends literally cant make a PSN account, so they are unable to play after 3 month. I will not play without them, nor will I support this bullshit.
I will miss this game. I had hopes for it.
We play in PC to avoid crap like this. I dont want to link a PSN account for a console I dont own!! And SOny has baby security and has been hacked several times
You have to have a MS account for certain games too, this isn't a new thing.
this is the comment i was looking for that sums it real quick
Nor sony or any hacker cares about your data, what you play what you buy, if you don't link your credit card and leave it there... I don't see the problem, the issue is what happens with people that live in a country that doesn't have PSN account access
Womp womp
@johnf.r6658 Yeah, hackers don't care so much that they go through all that trouble to hack companies to obtain that data and earn money by selling it. Think before you write something
they see the player number and want turn that number into new psn account, what a scummy move
Exactly. They want to run to their investors and say, “look at all these new PSN accounts! Give us more money!”
And then they’ll begin selling the data of all the new accounts to marketers, y’know, before they get hacked again and it all gets leaked for free.
I'm actually confident Arrowhead will be able to reverse Sony's decision on this and when they do, let's make sure to celebrate that
i hope that you're right
I’m not confident of that, but I’ll celebrate if they do

@@yakemonso we can have crossplay with Xbox lol
I am actually in disbelief that Sony are such C***s to the points to where even the Devs are left up in the air as to what will happen to players who arent able to make a PSN due to their region/country.
As someone with a PSN/Sony account, I don't want them linked with my Steam account at all. Most of the emails I have related to those accounts are "you're eligible to receive settlement money from this new lawsuit."
This is the reason small companies can’t get ahead cause big corporations want a piece of the pie, they don’t care if they get their hand in it and ruin it for everyone, this is a huge hit to Arrowhead, I mean what choice do they have? Rock and a hard place for fans, the studio, PC players for sure and Sony won’t even bat an eye! Bastards!
They should have done it from the start and not had this grace period which makes no sense.
@Luciusthestorms The reason why it wasn't a thing yet is because of the server issue at launch, and PC players weren't able to link their accounts and play the game and so they temporarily made it non mandatory till it was fixed so that pc players wouldn't start crying and throwing tantrums like most PC players are doing now. Now, the real big IMPORTANT issue is people who can not make a psn account due to region restrictions and they have every right to be upset.
Went from record breaking game to a strong bench player now, smh good job Sony
Im on ps5, but I was never aware of the “grace period” for pc players
they neither XDXD it only was written on steam day 1 to have a psn account linked .
sry not sry , when people cant read
There wasn't any mention of a grace period. I bought the game steam and saw that i could skip the PSN link account. So I thought oh thats cool.
Now their pulling this stunt.
Neither did we buddy
Trust me neither were we
@@jackplisken4738stop being a sony and dev dik rider. They allowed players to play and buy this game for 3 months and now some may lose access.
I've been feeling safe until now.
Please do not resist.
Level 80 Commander here. Looks like I will be hanging my cape.
I am confused as to why I can't just disable crossplay and play with PC players without doing this BS?!?!
So you’ve never played any games by Microsoft, Ubisoft, EA, Epic, Rockstar or about a dozen other publishers on steam who’ve done this for years, or you’re just looking for something to complain about on a Friday.
You won’t be missed.
@murtle52 exactly this.
@murtle52 I was just thinking that sony has Litteraly been the last company to do this lmao. It still sucks for some people yeah, but theres so many games that do this
@@murtle52 no sir, I have absolutely not played any of their games. I even have them filtered out from Steam so I don't deal with their bulls^%$.
And why are you replying as if I am leaving YOU. I am leaving the game hahaha
@@murtle52you see the issue here here is that they are upfront about it Sony just drops this 3 months after the game released and if you say they said they were gonna require it day 1 then why sell the damn game in countries that can’t get a psn account because it’s region locked and also the real question why even need it in the first place because the game was doing just fine without it so why do it when there’s no actual reason to, all it’s doing is kicking out players who can’t make psn accounts
While this came down from Sony, Arrowhead really looks bad to the Steam players now. More so after the CEO's (in)famous reply about how AH and not Sony has control over Hell Divers 2. Shame as it was going really well there for a few months, ignoring the (game) bugs.
Doesn’t make them look bad to us, this is enforced by Sony, Arrowhead has no say so because Sony owns the ip, all Arrowhead is the creators of the game if they actually owned the ip to the game this wouldn’t be the case
Arrowhead knew.
They fcking knew and didn't say anything!
Arrowhead is guilty!!!
That's a lie if Arrowhead was in control of the game it would have been released on xbox day one as well

"Grace period are over" do i miss a memo that we have grace period?
This. I joined a couple of weeks after release, when it started getting big attention, and i dont recall seeing anything about a 'grace period' when starting up the game. I may have been prompted to link my Steam and PSN accounts but i had the option to skip (since i dont have a PSN account) and thus i skipped. And if anyone says the grace period was on Discord, thats not good enough.
I even went back over all the Steam update notes to see if there was any mention of a grace period, there isnt (that i can see)
@@Shaabhekhsame here. When I booted the game up and saw I had to link a PSN account I was about to refund the game until a friend told me you could skip it. Now I've basically been cheated out of my money.
The more I think about it, on Steam there was nothing asking me about a PlayStation when buying the game for PC 3 weeks ago, after installation, there was a play button on the Steam app, and that was it. I don't recall anything saying I must have a PlayStation to play this game on PC, and I refuse to get a service for a device I don't have or want.
@@Zarcondeegrissom Same. Never saw any prompt that had anything to do with PlayStation.
"Safety" is code word for Data Gathering. If the game worked fine for months without it then that means we didn't need it, and now Sony is just pushing a number on it because PR is peaking after the last update. They got the bulk of their money from sales, now they wanna milk what is left with Data Gathering. Which... You know, the data leaks too.
I am hoping Sony allows ArrowHead a to take a different path. There are MANY who can not create an PSN account in their country and it's against Sony's TOS to use a VPN. This means we are going to lose fellow HellDivers over this issue. I like to see them disable the need to do this, but maybe give special Armor and Weapons to everyone who does link their account. Have seen it in other games and even got my lazy self to do it for the skins. Incentivize, not force.
Needs to be exceptions
@@robertarmstrong2323 Hope so.
Easy way to make them change it is for us to just stop playing. No buying the new warbond, no boosting their player count. I can see them removing this restriction when they see the backlash.
@fullstackweebdev4855 sorry not an option. If I went home and had to sign up for Arrowhead acct to play..it would take me as long as it takes to create a unique password
@@robertarmstrong2323 And if you are in a country that you are not allowed to do it?
This is Sony, not Arrowhead.
.... This is the first time hearing of this 'Grace' period on PC....
Because it was only mentioned once very early and then burried.
@@TrixyTrixter Exactly.
same, I just recall a bug that prevented PS5 players joining with PC players, cross-play I think, nothing about me having a PlayStation. and no, I am not getting a PS5 just to play a game on PC, nor an account for any console to do so. The only requirements I recall seeing, was a GTX1050 or better, windows 10, etc.
"Customer safety" from a company that lost millions of users CC info to an 'advanced hack' that was "username: admin, password:(blank)".
This is a strong sign Sony execs call the shots. If you want to see the future of Helldivers, look at the present of Tarkov, Suicide Squad, and Dead Space 3.
It's sad, because ArrowHead obviously cared about this game and playerbase. I cannot imagine the shame they must feel.
“Without respect, we reject” Doomcock
the recent reviews for helldivers 2 on PC are at 69% right now
nice
65 now
Nice!
Well what a great time that I have with you Helldiver 2. Thank you for everything
I’m a ps5 player but all of my friends play on PC. Most of the ppl I’ve met Diving are thru steam as well… Major conflict of interest here😡😡
Lets hope they publish Helldivers 3 w/o a publisher and do it by themselves. Publishers shouldnt be able to dictate things like this.
If Sony wants to "protect their players" so badly, then they can tell their players to utilize an option that's ALREADY in the game and turn OFF cross play so they don't have to risk playing with us unsafe PC Steam users....
It has very little to do with security. It’s about numbers. Now that the servers are fixed they are ready to implement something that’s been on the games information since the beginning. Plus I’ve never seen pc players advocate more pc games come to console. Get over yourself 😂
I'm well aware it has nothing to do with security. However, Sony are masking it as such, even though there are in-game features that already do this. It's disingenuous on their part, along with the fact they are actively screwing over people who were allowed to buy and play the game on Steam that don't have (legal) access to PSN, and therefore won't have access to the game they put money into anymore.
On your point that you don't see PC players advocate for PC games to go to console, that is a generalization I do not belong to. I'd love more people to have access to more games than they do currently. PC games on console, or vice versa. I'm against that kind of exclusivity that makes people fear they are missing out on a great experience for not paying for a $500+ console or a $1,000+ PC they don't have. 🙂
No worries.
Earth Defense Force 6 will be out in July. You get to blow up aliens, giant bugs and robots, with more bombastic weapons and bigger explosions. It’s also where Helldiver 2 drawn many inspiration from.
If Helldiver wants to sleep with Sony then they will end up in hell together.
That game graphically looks so bad ☠️ womp womp
Apparently the true meaning of managed democracy has been revealed to mean "managed by sony".
Just aheads up the devs have LOCK the comments on there steam thread for comments so you can't complain so even if they watch your videos they don't give a single shit about what you think.
Negative reviews on Steam work wonders.
Persay if helldivers does come to Xbox, they would have to make a psn account too just like Minecraft is with PlayStation
Once the butthurt stops people will realize this is normal with modern gaming but you know people gonna complain regardless.
@@BuB2181 only issue is games usually release requiring this sort of thing. but the game came out in 200 countries and didnt require a psn account. and since sony is only available in 70, those people from the 130 countries wont be able to play the game after may 30th
@@zornstein_-9472it did require a psn account but do to world wide server issues they disabled it temporarily
@zornstein_-9472 in the statement they say they're gonna figure out how to get that worked out, we'll just have to give it time. This just came out so everyone's up in arms and having a fit. Microsoft has us sign into an xbox account to play minecraft on ps so I don't really understand what the deal is aside from the ones without access but it'll get figured out. No one has patience anymore.
Adding on here. It was in the t.o.s. but who reads those novels b4 they game?
@@BuB2181how does sonys boots taste
To the best of my knowledge:
1) There was NO MENTION BY SONY, of ANY grace period for logging in temp. without linking PSN.
2) I knew from jump that linking may happen when I purchased through Steam.
3) I saw the prompt and was not aware it could be skipped, hence I linked.
4) This is on Sony as far as the expectation and execution of a linking policy to current and future customers.
Sony doesnt have an ownership stake, but as a publisher they can make certain rules.
I feel like the Spitz could have responded with a bit more grace. Feels like he spat on the community's face with that comment.
Honestly par for the course response from him. He seems like the type of guy to just not really care about anything, just content doing his job. Not a bad thing, but probably not the best for keeping the community together lol
Arrowhead as a whole, for the most part, does this. This isn’t the first time arrowhead has spit in the face of the players.
I can't believe they have not fired him a while ago....he is terrible......and he aint the only one they got who should have been fired a while ago.
This is the same guy that lies about patches right? Why is he trusted again?
Dude's username is literally SPITz. What did you expect?

Why was it sold in countries that don't allow psn if I was always intended to need one
sony need to lower it's stock price so they could profit when it rise again..😅
It sounds like sony is forcing this whether arrowhead wants to or not so its not really they're fault. If there's anything to boycott sony over it should be this
Hell yeah boycott sony, I think most if not everyone would be fine with this
Among all the other things wrong with requiring psn, claiming it helps with bans and appeals for the security of the player base is just insane. Steam has systems for banning players and its own appeals process that they could just use. I can't comprehend any other reason to do this than "because sony wants your data to market to you."
Update: Helldivers subreddit has just been taken down.
This is a lie, the subreddit is still up. Arrowhead managers run this subreddit, why would they take down their own stuff? Lol.
Sony Executives: "people are too happy, how can we fix that?"

And before you call me some sony dick rider im going to clarify i fucking hate sony and i think whoever made the decision of forcing psn accounts should be fired with no compensation or remorse
The real question is why is PSN not in so many countries?!
Censorship
@@josephroman2669 I looked it up further and no your completely wrong. The reason is PlayStation or rather Sony doesn’t see it as economically profitable for them to make the country have PSN in them. They don’t see it being worth there time to make PSN available in that country as they don’t think the cost of allowing it in the country is worth it given how many people would have access to the internet and would then also have enough money to want to buy PlayStation games and sign up for PlayStation network. It has nothing to do with outright censorship or anything like that. This exclusions to the rule being Russia 🇷🇺 and China 🇨🇳. Russia 🇷🇺 due to there invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇦 and China 🇨🇳 because China 🇨🇳 closed down PSN in the country due to security concerns which knowing China 🇨🇳 probably weren’t there.
I just got home from a 8-hour shift to these shenanigans.
WTH?
It’s almost like Microsoft, Ubisoft and rockstar do the exact same thing. The only problem is psn isn’t available in every country
This is what happens when you don't read from day 1. Feels bad, but everyone knew it was coming
And current review dumpster is what happens when you say PSN is required but still sell it to people who can't have PSN legally.
@@krevetka9744that’s why it’s important to read. Womp Womp 😂😂

"issue with trusting sony" i mean yea its not like sony has ever had any data leak in the past right?

@@r3gret2079”they do it too so why can’t I” probably the dumbest argument that’s being made in the comment section. Think of something better.
@@griffiththechad9483womp womp
They own the games IP
So? They SOLD this game to people who weren't supposed to even be able to log in.
Can’t imagine people being freaked out by a company keeping their data that has gotten hacked multiple times over.
I'm going to make a reasonable argument.
When purchase people purchased this game into a contract that providing they pay for the game and follow the EULA they can play the content provided by this game. Essentially a contract - Sony want to force a change in the terms of the agreement - onto everyone. It was not made clear enough that you would need a PSN account.
Essentially - initially the contact looks like this:
Game content = £35 (or whatever it was)
To
No game content (based on the terms of the orrignal agreement - no PSN account) = £35
Now for the people saying "just create a PSN account"
1. Some people across multiple contried do not have access to just create a PSN account - thus making this simply void. You could use a VPN but then you're looking at a potential ban. It would be suicide for Sony to suggest using something that doesn't conform with their "standards" set by them.
2. This is an element of forced consent - Sony are forcing you to either hand over you data/details to play a game for which you did not contractually agree to at point of purchase. This does not confrom with european GDPR regulations. (GDPR article - consent: The basic requirements for the effectiveness of a valid legal consent are defined in Article 7 and specified further in recital 32 of the GDPR. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. In order to obtain freely given consent, it must be given on a voluntary basis. The element “free” implies a real choice by the data subject. Any element of inappropriate pressure or influence which could affect the outcome of that choice renders the consent invalid. In doing so, the legal text takes a certain imbalance between the controller and the data subject into consideration.)
3. There is no reason to force this - if someone doesn't want to have a PSN account they don't have to have one. Just because you think it's fine to have one does not mean every other person on earth has to agree with you. It's each individual persons choice and opinion. You think it's fine (which is okay you're entitled to your opinion) doesn't mean everyone else has to agree.
I feel like Sony has a class action lawsuit in their future

@@rusrad74 Haha always!
This was on the Steam page since day one. It says “PSN Account Required”. I knew it was only a matter of time before Sony got rolling on this thing.
this is true
a linked account is required for crossplay, rocket league, satisfactory ETC
but it doesn't say "you will not be able to play this game without a PSN account"
they can fix this mess by just simply stating
all steam users accounts that don't link a PSN account will not be able to use the crossplay feature, problem solved
agreed dont know why players are all shocked and awed about something thats been on steam since launch its not like they were hiding the requirements either is it a bit of a inconvenience sure but playerbase need to just tkae the 2 or 3 minutes to make an account than they never have to worry about it againatleast for those that are in regions that can make a PSN
@@alexpena4091 that's the problem, if you live in an area that doesn't support PSN accounts then you're up shits creek, but the game can clearly function for those that can't create an account

The only account that should matter is steam where people are playing the game
@@kotzer71 if people cared about their steam accounts enough, they would have known the requirement before purchasing
I don't know what to do now. So today my computer that I bought to play Helldivers on is showing up and I was extremely excited to buy it and finally play the game but now with what happened I'm on the fence on whether I should still buy and play it or not. My friend said that the game isn't worth it anymore and I should probably wait for the next war bound before I decide but I don't know if I want to do that or not. Any advice from anyone on what I should do would much appreciated.
If you feel like you would enjoy it even for a bit it’s definitely worth it. It’s only 30$ and it’ll give you hours of enjoyment. Nothing has changed besides taking 30 seconds to make a psn account just like you would for Microsoft or Ubisoft. People just over react. But you also don’t gotta listen to me 😂
@@Rex_kwon_do2113 ok, thanks for the help. I'm still going to buy it because I've been too excited to play the game to just decide not to
@@The_fastfreddy NP hope you have fun. #for democracy 🫡
99% of the time when corpos talk about safety, that's a big red marker of trying to f#%k you up. Well... Yet again, another case to prove these statistics.
This is just like George Orwell’s book 1984💀
No it's not? Have you even read the book?
it literally says "PSN Account required" on the steam page. it's not arrowhead or sony's fault that people don't read shit before they buy.
I did, and played the game looking if the sony account will be something bad, saw nothing about a "grace period" thought is was just optional.
I would never buy a game on steam that enforces me to have a PSN account.
I earn nothing from creating this PSN account, just giving sony my steam data for free.
Arrowhead knew.
They fcking knew and didn't say anything!
Arrowhead is guilty!!!
Tiny little words at the bottom of a page isn't good enough
"i would never buy a game on steam that enforces me to have a PSN account." but you did. you bought helldivers 2.
"i earn nothing from creating this PSN account, just giving sony my steam data for free" yes you would. you would be able to continue to play the game you purhcased instead of getting angry that you didn't pay attention to the obvious yellow bar that says having one is a requirement and wasting your money because you stubbornly refuse to create a free account.
we give our data away to SO MANY companies, but people act like this is some egregious war crime or something. you're on youtube, dude, a site that also collects your data.
@@owellorge1868 the price you pay for not taking the time to look the store page over before buying is spending like, ten minutes to set up a free account. it's really not a big deal.
@@owellorge1868maybe you should read next time
I think Sony forced them to do this. They must have threatened AH if they do not enforce this then Sony removes them from the PlayStation Store or this must have been a predetermined agreement. AH does not gain anything from this and only loses its player base. It is pretty clear Sony is the one to blame!!
I already have a PSN account so it won’t be a problem for me to connect. My problem is going to be if this screws over my fellow Helldivers, I will not be playing this game. Period.
This will go a long way in fixing the friend adding problems we’ve been having
and the match making as well.
I made one when I first started playing. People wine too much.
You're one of those shills who makes these companies feel justified in gathering our data for no reason. Nice work! I don't own a PlayStation and don't feel like Sony deserves anything from me. If I want to boycott these actions with a review bomb and refund request, I will do so.
Exactly
Good for you. Not everyone can make an account.
and you clearly don't think thinks through enough.
Don’t care, I don’t give my information to someone I don’t like, especially two face liars like Sony and AH.
This betrayal hurts so much, we finally thought we could trust, and that's when they twisted the dagger we didn't know was already in our back.
You've failed the community, Arrowhead; and the longer you take to make amends, the more permanent damage will be done. Make the right choice. Save what's left of your community while you still have the chance.
Sony did this, Not arrowhead.
I imagine you’ll be seeing a lot less of us in the clouds.
I don't get the people who just refuse to do it. If you're in a country that doesn't is supported by PSN ok that's bulls*it but seriously a blank PSN account with zero data on it is of no use for people stealing you personal data.
Yup a shit ton of people taking this like an act of war. Blown way out of proportion it’s just a fucking game make a blank account and play if you can’t make an account get a refund.
Corporation say give us your data or else.
You say yes master.
Shame.
@@c_po no I just don't act like this is a thing of impossibility
@@c_powomp womp 😂😂
@@c_poif you don't have a PlayStation account then what info aside from your email are they getting?
With the greates respect, but... Fuck console😂😂😂
Wtf does this have to do with the console? Nothing.
Womp womp go play something else
As someone who didn’t follow the hype and had absolutely no idea they’d temporarily suspended the PSN requirement for whatever reason, this was very disappointing news to hear.
As someone who would rather not create yet another account for yet another service, especially one as notoriously unsecured as PSN, it was horrendous news to hear.
It doesn’t matter how innocuous the information can be gained is, and their reasons for it being “safety and security” is complete garbage corpo speak for “we want more control”.
I’m not one to champion the banner of one corporation over another, they’re all pretty bad in their own ways, but Sony can lick my taint clean after a long night post-coitus, because they’re one of the worst.
I linked my Helldivers to my PSN on launch day - didn't seem like that big of a deal, and since that day I haven't touched it since.
Good for you. I can not do that without violating Sony's terms of service.
@@krevetka9744 we do not care. Womp Womp
@@Unknxwn6 Womp womp? Are you a pokemon?
Also, who are "we" you're talking about? Are you speaking on behalf of Benjamin here? Over 10k negative reviews in just several hours say people do care about this.
The latest update drop my game and doesnt load and says files are missing or suspected malware
I dont have the game yet, are they gonna remove it from steam? If not, do i have to like link steam to psn and buy? Any mention about it?
You will be required to link your PSN id at purchase, if bought after May 6
Its in Sony’s statement
Another idea: close the shop, send Sony where they belong, rebrand / rename the pruduct, see you in Helldivers III
on sony's side you need to think how this is gonna play out over the next few months to find something even more alarming... sony is probably doing this to misrepresent the psn signups they expect people to go through with, just to keep playing HD2, as legitimate new sony customers to sony's investors around mid year, instead of the begrudging signups from angry PC players that will likely result in possibly hundreds of thousands of people, actively hating sony and never wanting to buy another product from them, which would hurt sony's sales, hurt their shareholders and with the aforementioned misrepresentation in mind, possibly be a form of stock market fraud. there's a regulatory agency in the US called the SEC that would probably be very interested to know about all of this.
It fucking BLOWS to see this game die. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to the entire gaming community trolling the shit out of Sony for this for the foreseeable future. It’s going to be glorious.
It should be optional for cross play AT MOST. To tell me I can’t play if I don’t link is insane lol.
Thank you, 'Divers from the Philippines. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten ✊ o7
You got it exactly right. What they should do is give a bonus to the player for signing in with psn like 500 super credits or something. Make it optional. Not force it on everyone making some people unable to play.
Ah, comrades!
Gather 'round and heed this tale of treachery!
As we stand united, it's not merely about the passage of time, but the sting of betrayal that cuts deep.
The disrespect shown to us, the loyal customers, it's a wound that won't easily heal.
Nay, even if they attempt to mend their ways, the scent of deceit shall linger like a foul odor in the air.
And what of our valiant companion, the one barred from play due to his distant realm lacking access to the PSN?
Ah, here lies the connection to our beloved motto: one for all, all for one!
In the face of adversity, we must stand together, for it is not our failing, but theirs.
Let the naysayers cry out like babies, for their ire only confirms their guilt.
Remember, friends, we each possess the power of choice.
Let us wield it wisely, and let justice be our guide!
if they can't play, then neither shall we!
One for all, All for one!
Thanks for highlighting Philippines 😀. This is actually not the end of the dives for PH gamers. We usually create a PSN account using either HongKong or Singapore. This has been the workaround of us Pinoy gamers since the PS3 era. We already informed our local Helldiver group and will gladly help them resolve this issue.
i really do not mind the linking, it's no big deal for me in the US. the only issue i have, of course, is for those who have bought & have been playing the game in countries where they cannot make a PSN account. i know in a reply Pilestedt said that they're working with playstation to find a solution for those players. i really hope they do find some way to fix that issue ^^;
Cloud i look forward to seeing what game you cover next. ..hd2 ..was a lot of fun dude
If all we have to do is make an account, login and email and then never use it again, why in the world do I need to have it then! it clearly works fine without and I don't have a PlayStation nor will I have one. I got my game on steam on PC and I have no interaction what so ever with Sony.
First they make you use a dubious anti-cheat which adds a vulnerability to your machine, and now they require you to sign up for more exposure to unwanted marketing (if your even allowed to sign up for it..)
Where will it end?
Welp, there goes the neighborhood.
If it wasn't needed for 3 months and it thrived it's clearly not needed now. If they make exceptions for certain regions it's also clearly not needed at all.
do other sony published games on the PC require a PSN account?
