Helldivers 2 Situation Is Getting Worse (Delisted from Steam, Fans Defend Playstation)

#helldivers2 Helldivers 2 Situation is getting worse as the drama and outcries of scams continue. After getting review bombed for the PSN Account Required, it's been delisted from sale on Steam in all countries without PSN. The CEO responded that he doesn't know, as Playstation Fans try and defend the situation and start attacking PC Gamers. In this video I explain why their attacks are dumb.

"PC players hate Playstation."

If that wasn't true before, it's true now.

Remember guys: It takes 60 seconds to unsubscribe from PSN+ and another 120 seconds to list a PS5 for sale.

126 countries were scammed out of playing helldivers. We dive together or not at all (Now 177 countries can not play because they are region locked on steam.)

I have a psn account....

I don't think I want to trust Sony to have access to my 20 year old Steam account....

Sony is forcing Helldivers 2 to dive into hell.

Last week: Xbox reinforcements may be coming, the consol wars are over!
This week: Execute order 66 on PC gamers.

[KabukeeJo]

No PC game should require a PSN account to play. All such games should be removed from Steam!

[lperez]

I predict that Sony will blame Steam for selling Helldivers 2 to countries that can't get a psn account.

[stoutboreepic]

I live in China and won't be able to play the game anymore. I have tried 8 times to get a refund on steam but unfortunately have been denied each time. I'm gonna keep trying but I'm not optimistic that I'll get the refund.

Imagine you buy a car and after 3 months the manufacturer makes a software update that makes the car unusable in half the countries in the world.

[rebellious_red]

This is completely unacceptable, a lot of my friends that I play Helldivers 2 with are on PC (I own a PS5). While this doesn't affect me in the same way it does the PC community. It's the principle that SONY is misleading it's users and the PC community. It's not fair for SONY to force an entire group of gamers on a completely different platform to sign up for a PSN account, especially since PSN has a history of data breaches.

[tixnofal]

I’m not impacted by this because I’m a PlayStation player, but I’ll now boycott this game for my fellow PC players

[freedomisall]

Sadly, that requirement is making it that I will never buy Helldivers 2, and probably any Sony game altogether.

[mystrie]

Not giving Sony a scan of my face, or my government issued photo ID. They can eat bugs.

[SickPrid]

Steam delisted the game to avoid hassle with future refunds

[Sira_Kackavalj]

Imagine the parody. A company known for data breaches needs you to give them your biometric data.

"It is so easy and quick to register an account, it will take only 2 minutes" they said... But in Ukraine you can do it only if you have PS 4 / PS 5 😐

[GenericInternetter]

fukk it, who are we kidding with all this?
for decades, very top people in AAA gaming corporations have been deliberately short-selling the stock of their own corporations before deliberately making massive blunders to drop the stock price and pocket the difference.

i'd like to see some of these online detective content creators look into the stock activities of these corporations before each blunder. for example:
-- Bethesda stock just before Fallout 76 released
-- EA stock just before BF2042 released
-- Sony stock just before this HD2 PSN change
...or any of the many other AAA blunders in recent history.

Sony never required PC players to have PSN accounts. They literally changed their own ELUA on the 3rd of may.

It seems to me that too many people want to white knight for massive corporations and forgive the most egregious of behaviors out of a sense of brand loyalty or outright ignorance. It is ok to have standards for what you will or wont support with your own money and it doesn't matter if those standards seem silly or arbitrary to anyone else. It is your money, your time, your effort. No company is owed any of those things, they have to earn them.
