I wanted to put out a update on the drama unfolding with Helldivers 2. The fans are turning on the game over the stupid decisions by Sony. Join this channel to get access to perks: / @stillsolo
Nothing. They need our data to offset losses. They make money from selling player data they mine via PSN. I made a random PSN account and linked it to the game back when i bought it. I don;t own a PlayStation and as of now will never buy one. I'm afraid this might kill the game tho. We will lose Russians, the Baltic states, all of Africa, China, the Philippines and so on along with anyone who refuses to comply. The game's review score is also probably going to fall to "Overwhelmingly Negative" by Monday. Sony fucked around and found out.
@@daviddesrosiers1946 Fresh news tho, the community managers at Arrowhead are DEI far left activists and former Reddit mods.. this trashfire could have been avoided if Arrowhead had hired a proper professional team to manage their PR. Modern games are F-ed, these people are everywhere.
We will see. At one hand they are getting into a very bad position cuz lets be fair the "Sony killed Helldivers 2" as a title, is not a good one when most ppl loved the game. 😅 At the other hand, its SONY. When did they ever cared for anything else then control or money? The issue is, that there is not a rly a middle ground this time. There is no short solutions, with other words: Sony will either just go with it and piss off everyone . . . "again" or backtrack in hope of it will put them into a better position next time.
Thats how you know these videos are clickbait, these morons either dont do research and use the most popular rumors or they do know and still mislead or spread misinformation for views
*sony betrayed democracy, i am pissed about the news about a PlayStation account link but direct your anger at the ones responsible, arrowhead brought us a fantastic game and didn’t know about this stuff, Sony is the one to blame
@@TwoBrainsOneCell8638 He's directing it right where he needs to, over the heads of the people that willfully decided to work with Sony to begin with.
Not linking steam with PSN. The history with regards to security is in itself enough to refuse. On top of that, so many countries can`t play anymore. The day the force this is the day i uninstall HD2
I’ve only had my Steam account for a few weeks. I still ain’t risking losing it because it’s linked to my currently nonexistent PSN account. Also, if people in non-PSN countries can play it (the situation has improved), then why can’t we play it without an account?
ok so i can get a PSN account, right? *BUT* EVERY interaction ive had with account linking has been horrific. Fallen Order, Minecraft, Trove. Two of those completely locked me out of the game. One forced me to go through a multimonth process to get my account back. account linking SUCKS and i really really dislike it.
They're doing it on purpose. Even the HD team itself wants us to give negative reviews on purpose so they're argument can be even more solid against Sony. Even the devs don't like this bullshit
This what video game gate keeping looks like Sony just building another fucking gate we have to pass through it’s sickening the way they can take something we love an tamper with like idk why Sony feels so insecure like the players are gonna go somewhere or something
easy solve guys, just VPN to a country like the US or AU where complicated verification is NOT NEEDED & make an account there within their region. not that hard to come up with a fake name, address etc... many people make BS account nowadays anyway or anonymity, access to different region game stores etc..
The one thing I hate is people arguing that "other games make you get a third party account" like that is somehow a good thing or makes it fine. I don't want ANY game to require another account to link too, its stupid af. Plus, Sony's argument of making it easier to police people is dumb too. Like I don't know how to block people or report them. If I was in the refund window, I would immediately ask for one. On top of my own feelings on mandatory account linking, there are all the countries that make it hard or impossible to play now. Theres also the PS/Sony data security concerns. Mandatory accounts are all around just terrible. Make it optional at the very least,
Did Sony force them into a business partnership? No? Then I guess they deserve 100% of the accountability as I can't play the game anymore because of their decision then, huh?
Has sonys name also in the steam announcement. From other videos as well this appears to be directly from them and not done by AH. E.g. Sony made the annoucement and now AH is taking 99% of the flack for it even though as has been said before their hands are lilely tied
You can bet your arse that the CEO of AH forced that community manager to apologize, so need to take his apology seriously. It is merely damage control and fight for survival.
The PC steam sales are massively higher than the console sales and I think Sony on steam would get a smaller publishing percent each sale, whereas on console it would be full sale price, so clearly they're mad and want more money and will do anything to get it, classic corporate logic
What do you guys think SONY is going to say about all this?

I expect Sony to act like we're the problem, not them.

Fans arent turning on Helldivers, they are working with AH against Sony

Arrowhead betrayed Democracy!

PSN is not secure for crap. i seen a screen door with more security. not to mention PSN is not available in all countries.
Doesn’t matter if you wanted the decision or not.
Decision was made. It is your responsibility.
Done and done.
Take your Mostly Negative reviews and live with it FOREVER.

Helldivers 2, a future Sony tax write off.

Well said
Why are they giving the game bad reviews it’s not the developers fault don’t people know that?
Did Sony force them into a business partnership? No? Then I guess they deserve 100% of the accountability as I can't play the game anymore because of their decision then, huh?
Its a mix of fans being mad but I think the devs want to show this as proof to sony to get them to backtrack.

It was their choice to do business with Sony. It IS 100% their own fault.
Helldivers 2 can be described as this:
When you think you sent out Order 66 but you accidentally sent out Order 65
You can bet your arse that the CEO of AH forced that community manager to apologize, so need to take his apology seriously. It is merely damage control and fight for survival.
S to spit on Spitz. Guy was a passive agressive weasel in far more posts than that one.
Yeah gotta have thick skin for that job
Wait until June 4th, when Sony enforces the account linking. Player base will be cut in half and new sales will be non existent
The PC steam sales are massively higher than the console sales and I think Sony on steam would get a smaller publishing percent each sale, whereas on console it would be full sale price, so clearly they're mad and want more money and will do anything to get it, classic corporate logic
its funny you showing 117k of revievs its 215 now :D
Well yeah its getting worse
@@stillsolo we won sony is backing up :D
get over it, link account. This shouldnt even be nearly as big a deal as drama queens are making it out to be.
Snoy bots aren't very high quality tonight
Imagine defending a billion dollar company
Players didn't betray democracy, Arrowhead BETRAYED democracy.
How to kill the game. Doing something that everyone ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT added into the game.
Yeah it sucks :(
