Helldivers 2 - Hell is more diverse than ever as PlayStation's demographics continue to grow and change.

If it's just a one time link to a throwaway Sony account, whatever.

I don't see the big deal until it becomes something intrusive and fucky like Uplay.

Everyone will forget about this in a week if good content keeps rolling out.
>just a two minute sign up
>unintrusive
>Sony requires UK users to either scan their face or upload their personal ID
>Doing this allows Sony to track you through Steam as well and if you do naughty in Steam you get banned on PSN.

Suck start a shotgun retard.
 
I will now refer the thread to the California Courts, where if you are a Helldiver, you agreed to have any issues related to this game resolved.


This is what legal autists call "Material Breach of Contract". Under contract law, you exchange mutual consideration. Usually a product for money. Under the terms both parties agree too. The Terms AT THE POINT OF SALE, are binding. This would under the usual course of things include the requirement for Arbitration instead of court, and all the usual bullshit Sony puts into their contracts to avoid any legal liability.

However, there is a key distinction in a cause of action brought for Material Breach. In this particular case, Sony unilaterally changed the terms of the contract and is now requesting you accept the new terms. You are under no obligation to accept the new terms. In fact, you may refuse the new terms and instead revoke the consideration and request your money. This voids the contract. Including the Arbitration clause because this is not a dispute about the terms of the contract in place. This is a dispute about whether there is a contract AT ALL.

Its incredibly complicated, and guaranteed Sony will try and enforce Arbitration anyway, as well as the provisions requiring that all cases be handled individually instead of as a Class Action. That said however, I smell blood here and its worth pursuing. Don't sign the TOS for the PSN. Demand a refund instead. If a refund is not given, organize. Don't send gay ass letters. Don't petition and make angry tweets. Crowdfund a god damn lawyer and send a Demand Letter and an Evidence Preservation letter.

I guarantee you Sony will pay WAAAAAAY more attention to that then bad reviews on Steam.
 
Honestly, if you haven't already, play EDF. They're great games, though the atmosphere is more tongue in cheek. Personally I prefer 5 but 4 is also very fun, even alone, and quite challenging. There's a reason everyone compared HD2 to them.
EDF6 got announced for the end of july, in 3 months this will have died down.
I would literally laugh my ass off if they start a surprise early access next week. not gonna happen of course but it would be fucking hilarious.

"I don't see the big deal with microtransactions, it's just cosmetic horse armor!"
"I don't see the big deal with always-online DRM, I'm always online!"
"I don't see the big deal with DLC's, they all optional!"
"I don't see the big deal with preordering, no one forces you to do it!"
"Why is gaming so shit nowadays?"
"Ooh, a new game with microtransactions, always online DRM, DLC's and 3rd party account requirements! I'm placing the 80$ preorder right away!"

This is why modern gaming is so garbage and why corporations can get away with the most heinous shit. You're part of the problem, remember that.

Ozempic kicked in. One has to wonder if it was because of the beetus, or to lose weight, or both. Let's hope he'll live forever and ever.
 
Wendy's Twitter and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Community managers and public relations seem to have it in their heads that the best way to handle everything is by being "snarky and quirky". It feels like that episode of South Park where Cartman pretends he has Tourettes to say whatever he wants for so long that he completely loses any filter he once had. Literally all they had to say was "We're sorry and we understand how you feel. However, our hands are tired and this decision is outside of our control".

I'm going to try and put on my empathy hat... NOT BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT! but because I wish to understand my enemy, that I might vanquish him and all his kind).

I think it's that they have to placate people all day regarding trivial shit and are paid to essentially nod, agree and point at existing statements. This must become draining on the ego especially given the popularity and state of Hell Divers. At some point they see an easy win, some quip, something to restore that ego and snap it up without even thinking. They really should just be replaced by an AI that regurgitates patch notes.

Also a guy like Spitz is probably motivated by having some perceived shred of influence over the game and someone like Baskin is probably motivated by controlling access to something men like/some banning spree feminist power fantasy.

Also the Pilstead guy has more PR sense than any of the idiots he has delegated these responsibilities to.... but again I think it is because he does not wallow in that world day to day and understands the big picture. It's kind of amazing, you just know Spitz is being chewed out and I hope that Baskins was as well.
 
Based Sony, too many people were using the meta game, so they stepped in to do some content balancing like good GMs!

Deserved spiteful sarcasm aside, sorry to all the PC players who'll be ditching or won't have the chance due to gay laws. I'm sorry to say but I think this dev deserves to have it crash on them though because even aside from being mad over the "balancing" I think they're shitty devs who, like another poster said, made a good game on accident. They all look like reddit faced losers and dangerhairs and are active in discord. They were totally unprepared to actually run a game of this size and don't even make a point to make the community aware of shit like this that will result in thousands of players not even being able to use the game.

call-center drones get way more shit thrown their way, it's not an excuse for being unprofessional. if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.
 
I hope the players put enough pressure on ArrowHead to make Steam start giving out refunds. Some users on /v/ report that they've already gotten a refund on the game after playing for more than 2 hours.

At the very least ArrowHead has a full month to fight this... if they intend to fight this.
If they give a shit about the game, they crafted they need to at least show an effort. Probably asking too much though.

Don't forget an obscure, intrusive anti-cheat for a PvE game which was a big red flag. My friends brushed it off as nothing, but I hesitated to buy the game and I'm glad I did.

Going to disagree here.
There a many bits of flavor and the way they will hop into live games and let players try out new shit that makes me think they really give a shit.

They underestimated how wary the playerbase is of sharing PII, of Sony as a company, and their CM's are questionable.
 
There are so many nigger cattle on Reddit that defend this shit.

This nigger would see himself, his family, and friends chained like slaves by corpos and smile and smugly tell everyone “This is just the world we live in now!! Even though we are slaves to fag government and oligarchs we should just accept it and eat the shit we are given and be happy!!”

I view farm animals as more worthy of life than “people” like this.

The average Redditor is a fart-sniffing brainlet lacking the ability to think critically and reasons only as a hivemind in updoots or downdoots, not sure how many times it needs to be said but yeah, they are niggercattle.
 
The more I think about it the more I realize how fucked games are. Sony has/had a very successful and profitable game that sold lots of copies. And they've decided to enforce some arbitrary system that doesn't make them any money or at least not directly over selling games.

It's impossible that they didn't know the results and backlash. If your priority isn't selling games what the fuck is it.
 
I'll be honest, I haven't played the game, and won't, I'm just here for the bullshit decision and hopeful about pusback.

That said, the amount of people who are defending this shit or saying "no one complained when X company did it" is fucking depressing. Even worse are those saying "just make an account, it takes two minutes". Sure, just like 2FA for all of those faggy games.

This is the second rug-pull by Sony (Stellar censoring) after launch. These retards can't be trusted.
