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

omething to keep in mind is that, legally speaking, Sony owns the Helldivers IP.

Devs have no backbone, and it's the reason quadruple-A gaming is in this atrocious state.

I can clearly picture, just from all the soy looking leads of Dev companies, how they leave the meeting with the cutthroat Sony negotiator, with their pants around their ankles.

When you consider how much more leverage and how many more options a Dev studio has compared to a director trying to make a movie, and somehow they end up with worse deals.

Pathetic

Nope, their first step should have been to immediately shitcan those CMs publicly if they wanted anyone to believe they had a spine. This is a half assed attempt to quell the fires so it leaves the focus of the internet outrage machine. I'm perfectly fine with this nuclear level response for simply an announcement, as it should serve as a warning to anyone retarded enough to try this shit.

Ghost of Tsushima comes out in 12 days on Steam. Considering how often GoT sits in a high placing on the annual "most played" listings for PSN, Sony really doesn't want this inferno to keep flickering in the corner of everyone's eye when GoT comes out. Everyone is going to think "PSN link required for just the MP section of the game? How long until they make the SP require PSN too?"

These people have been getting the full brunt of the retard storm for a day before a junior on the CM team cracked.
Imagine someone who is NOT Null facing the same troon army shit Null has faced. That's what was happening in their DMs.
Mistakes happen, and the guy owned up to it.
If everyone was lined up and shot for their first mistake nobody would have the opportunity to learn.

They already had their opportunity to learn when their community lead, Katherine Baskin (Baskinator), was causing problems in March. She's still around and they haven't learned their lesson. Strike 2 was pulling this shit with PSN. Strike 3 was not showing cultural appreciation to their recent refugees like proper Swedes and beheading the faggot CM in a style reminiscent of the ISIS videos.

Okay. What do you expect them to do when Sony could, at any moment, tell Arrowhead to fuck off and give IP to another studio?

They're a swedish company.
It's likely they face employment laws that prevent disemployment due to political affiliation.

It's the weekend, my guy. Of course it's going to be denied because the first request is automated based on playtime.
Try again. After that, it's a manual review. You might have to do a few requests to get someone not retarded.
Request a refund again, say you do not want to make an account as it was not mandatory at the time of purchase.
Don't waste your fucking time with any "I know your policy says..." shit. They know their fucking policy. They wrote it.
Send another refund request and keep sending them. They are not going to ban you for requesting refunds.

Okay so what is left.... banning people? Why should that be public facing?

I feel like all these people come out of woke world for a reason, they are mandated by ESG requirements specifically to put people like this between you and anything fun. That troon is adding that little :) because Hell Divers for it is just another place to have a Maoist struggle session about girl-dick.

TBH I think the people using their discord as a place to organize raids of unrelated shit like the tekken tournaments on twitch should be given the boot from there.
There are levels of retardation happening over this that have no business happening.

Okay but why run a discord? It's nothing but a liability. Sure you can put down dissent for a minute if you own the server but that is just going to Striessand in your face. ...and if you are a discord janny then why are you privy to anything, why are you fielding PR questions at all?

How about "no"?

Negative reviews will be gone if or when someone declares it review bombing.
And why wait if you find their attempts to address the issue inadequate or lost trust to them completely because of this?

I can see it now. They design the chatbot to act like a Super Earth propagandist talking about killing Terminids and Automatons. Then people start teaching it the names of bots like Shekelstein or bug names like Dindu.

"That's correct Super Citizen, the Automatons are lying and there never was 6 million killed on the Hall of Cost planet, that's just filthy bot propaganda."

They've already sealed their fate; they're fucked.
Why did they sell their own IP in the first place?

Do developers even need publishers? Is it genuinely difficult for them to secure angel investors or utilize crowdfunding? Do they struggle with an overregulated, monopolized industry that makes operating without publishers extremely challenging?

Crowdfunding for games is comparably easier than for other media, and distribution doesn't necessarily require a publisher.

I'm a 'publishers are parasites and should be eradicated' kinda guy, but you don't have to go that far. Considering the numerous funding options available to developers and the minimal benefits publishers offer, negotiating favorable terms should be straightforward.

Another indicator of publishers being parasites is that in the past, developers served as their own publishers. And many highly successful games to this day don't have a publisher.
 
The Soyny fans are fucking fuming at Pc Players, it's fucking glorious

"Noooo you can't just choose not to make a PSN account and get a refund for a game you played for 120 hours!! You MuSt PaY fOr PSN!!! PC GaYmErS R EnTiTled!!! reeeee."

It's old school salt from crybaby faggots. At this point, Sony policies are more entertaining than their games :story:
