"We're still learning what anti-consumer practices we can get away with for PC players."
-
Once again, the Helldivers complete a major order in less than 48 hours
-
Here's a translation of their apology for people who don't speak corporate PR: "Helldivers fans -- Steam issued refunds and the EU contacted us about fraud charges. You won this round, for now. We're still learning how to rip you off legally, and we're not quite where we want to be."
-
Don'tcelebrate too early. They pull it now, wait for things to cool down and figure out how to handle the countries that arent covered by PSN and once they do, it is back on the menu. If Sony mandates PSN for all online PS studio games then they are probably not allowing this exception to exist.
-
The power of bullying arrogant egoist corporations. You love to see it.
-
Steam telling Sony "You will owe us $8 million dollars for refunded games" was probably the cause for Sony backing down.
-
The fact that Antarctica is on the list of countries that can't purchase HD2 means that there was a point when HD2 was buyable in Antarctica. Are the penguins helping us spread Democracy?
-
We didn't win. The game is reportedly still unavailable for purchase by every country that doesn't have proper access to PSN, and odd issues related to the latest patch have started appearing in discussions. Mark my words, Sony hasn't given up on this; they're trying to figure out how to make mandating PSN accounts seem reasonable or necessary before they try again.
-
Democracy Won
-
"We have heard your feedback..." Hard not to hear a nuclear bomb exploding in one's backyard.
-
This is like the biggest "LARP" in history. A major order was given, Helldivers rose to the challenge and completed the order.
-
It's been a beautiful sight lately, I play both Total War: Warhammer 3 and Helldivers 2. Both games became victim to egregious corporate exploitation in their own way. Both games received a furious backlash the likes of which I've never before seen in gaming. Both companies were forced to take a step back, think, and course correct.
-
"We're listening" lol more like "We consulted our lawyers and if we don't walk this back then our ass is grass in a huge class-action lawsuit"
-
To everyone who complained "wHy nOT JuST mAKe aN aCCouNt?", shut the hell up.
-
I feel Sony did something criminal here. They knew the PSN account linking was going to be mandatory, but still sold the game in countries that don't have PSN access.
-
So this is how democracy wins...with thunderous applause
-
Let's not give Sony any credit here. The fact they even tried it in the first place shows how much contempt they have for their customers. I'd imagine this is actually due to a lawyer telling them they'd have a reasonable chance of losing a class action lawsuit if they pushed ahead.
-
Hopefully Arrowhead takes an extra 5 minute lunch break because I can’t imagine that was a very relaxing weekend.
-
"To many people were refunding the game and we care more about money then anything".
