The Tragic Self Destruction of Helldivers 2

Update: The battle is over, the Helldivers won. Sony seems to have back tracked and decided not to go forward with the required PSN update. I'm so glad I was wrong about the potential for nothing to change. Still remember to be careful who or what you sign your work to. This video is a sequel video to my Complete Helldivers Lore video I just uploaded, watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj7npYfZxFk

Its not about money Its about forcing behavior Which means there can be no compromise in pushing back

a steam comment put it best "I was having so much fun, I forgot about corporate greed for a moment"

How the fuck do these corpos justify their existence? Future interviewer: "What is something you've accomplished?" Former Sony employee: "We single-handedly turned one of the most popular games in the world into a smoldering shitstorm."

All my homies hate Sony

Report them for stock manipulation

Helldivers traveling the galaxy might come across ancient ruins and other curiosities. Just remember: Only a traitor is curious about PSN accounts!

Time to revert back to lethal company

Sony has committed treason against superearth.

7:58 It was Sony's decision to sell the game worldwide because they're the publisher who negotiates with storefronts. If we take their words at face value, that it was always the plan to require PSN, then they deliberately and sold the game to regions that do not have PSN access. Let me say that again. According to Sony, they deliberately sold a product that they knew would not function.

You know, when you create a close-knit community and you encourage it, when it turns against you, it's hard.

I changed my review and uninstalled. But I'm going to go one step further. Sony's earnings call is tomorrow. I'm selling all my S&P shares and putting all that money into shorting Sony. Hopefully, I'll get a piece of Sony to make up for this betrayal. One thing is for sure: I will never touch another product tainted by Sony ever again.

We didn't just adopt this game we ran after it, chased it, and fought for it. I like to think we still are. Hours of waiting in queue, hard coded player caps, game crashes, reinstallations, and changing firewall settings to let the anti cheat work. We the community fell in love with the gameplay and the vision, so much that we would put up with a lot during the launch and the weeks following. It was finally a mainstream game that respected our time, our money, and us as players. Something we've been starved from in modern gaming with only a few recent exceptions. (Lethal company, Baldur's gate 3, and Helldivers 2 felt like a renaissance in gaming.) The devs and CEO talked with us and kept open comms giving feedback which was mostly good. (The only exception being the one dev going on a power trip after the railgun nerf, but that was a minor footwork.) I believe that this community will change the reviews and much of the goodwill between the players and devs if this choice is reversed. It's been a while since I've been a part of such a tight, unified, and passionate community. I urge everyone who has or will leave a negative review to only change their review if Sony's decision is reversed, and that you shouldn't forget to do so.

"We gonna go to lethal" "And i don't mean by injection" "Might as well be though" "The greed is an infection"

Players :You were the chosen one HD You were meant to change AAA not join them. Sony: I HATE YOU!!!!

If only there was another game where you fight bugs and robots with 4 player co-op oh wait ROCK AND STONE

How embarrassing that Sony trashed this game so fast.

As horrible as this all is, I am SO PROUD of the community. We’re not sheep, we are soldiers; soldiers of democracy. We aren’t just accepting this because Sony are too big to fight. We are ALL fighting. Gentleman, this is democracy manifest.

Russian diver here (~42 hours). Buying most of games via shady sites been go-to way since start of ru-ukr conflict, because VISA ban (or smth like that). Line "This item is currently unavailable in your region" is pretty common, and i cant directly put money into steam in a first place. So, didnt even question why HD2 is not avaliable, got it as gift. Luckily (???) i broke my left arm and got cast on it about week ago, so wasnt able to play anyway. Just waiting for that disaster to be hopefully fixed. Didnt even try to make PSN account so far, never had PS console of any gen.

We need a Johnny Silverhand figure in todays world.
