I figured it would take mass refunds from Steam to pull this off though maybe the regions they were doing refunds in was enough.

Probably not so many. The ingame pop up was supposed to come with May 30th.

I don't even know how I'm currently supposed to link my helldivers 2 steam account to a PSN account.

They can flag the negative reviews for being "offtopic" and have them not visible by default.


No they can't. They're all valid reviews.

It's very likely that the EU would have forced them to eat shit anyway because they don't fuck around with that, maybe they finally realized that.

EU and Australia. Both have sued Sony for violating consumer protection laws and won before.

This is kind of a pet peeve of mine tbh.

It's one thing if it's something that feels like a legit mistake but when the publisher clearly just wants to screw everyone over just to be an evil son of a bitch, those reviews should stay as a permanent blemish.

The problem is that who gets screwed over hardest are the developers whose jobs are literally on the line based on metrics like ratings and performance. Since the developers came out over the weekend and took the side of the players, the players are doing their part to make sure the developers don't get punished.

See it from the other side:

If the reviews stay as a permanent blemish, there would be

  1. no reason for Sony to back off.
  2. no leverage for the community as a threat if they should fuck up again.

You're getting too caught up on today. The shitty shit that they released today that for some reason you want to play even though it's shitty shit.

I say we let their shitty shit crash and burn so they do better next time. But as it is, they all launch as shitty shit because they know they can get away with it because as soon as they patch it, poof all the criticism just dissolves into nothingness.

He's saying we should have kept the negative reviews and let (new) player interest die. Make Sony actually suffer an actual loss.

Basically they tried to kill Helldivers 2 with a dumbass rule, let it actually die to their hubris

I mean, that's the point, isn't it?

Throw a fit, so that they remove that shitty shit and fuck off.

It's not like we are headpatting Sony and call it a good boy because it only barked and didn't bite our limbs off.

People are still angry at Sony for sure anyways, but that doesn't mean that we have to burn more bridges than necessary, especially with the primary goal being to enjoy Helldivers 2, and not to tear it down to teach Sony a lesson.

I mean, us not playing a game we paid for and still have fun with, isn't exactly a good way to hurt Sony.

Who said you can't play it? I just wish people wouldn't change their reviews.

Oh wait is this a multiplayer game? If you play multiplayer, I can't help you. You clearly hate yourself.

I can sort of understand the bitching if they paid cash for the sc to unlock the warbonds. You wouldn't feel good too if something you bought was reduced in quality retroactively.

I didn't (or haven't) bought any sc yet, it's all earned in game but I only have enough for another 2 warbonds. After that I might have to spend a bit of cash to make up the difference.

Well, I can't tell what is confusing you. If you can't play because other people didn't buy it, it must be multiplayer.

Or if it's the thing about hating yourself that's confusing you, I mean, multiplayer is garbage. From matchmaking that sucks to unbalanced P2W shit to unbalanced not P2W shit, to asshat opponents, to waiting for a match, to the possibility of being denied a rematch, gracious, how can you play it if you don't hate yourself?

Or--and this just came to me--if it's the part where I don't know whether the game is multiplayer, that's because I live under a rock and don't actually read any gaming publications, and don't tend to click on topics about games I've never heard of unless, as in this case, there is something interesting being said about them. An announcement does not count as interesting in my book.
