Players want a chance to test their weapons before trying to spread democracy. Is a shooting range or simulator called for?
The lack of worldwide availability of Arrowhead Studios' Helldivers 2 on Steam is due to restrictions from PlayStation, not Valve.
To be clear though, Steam does not restrict use of their platform in any country. So, to say that Sony delisted games in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and other similar regions is disingenuous. The taliban doesn't allow video games in Afghanistan.
There are many restrictions in many countries. Painting this as a false dichotomy of Sony or Valve ignores all other layers of what is going on.
Just be honest in your journalism about what countries are left out. Those countries should a) have internet access b) allow the game.
Sony would be stupid to let valve run the show. They would be bad at business if they did that.
I pray for the day that Valve bans developers from forcing account linking and separate launchers for games on Steam. There's absolutely no reason for it, it often breaks Steam Deck games, it's privacy-invading, spams up your email inbox, and worst of all it's just extremely annoying.
The Arrowhead Game Studios CEO has shed some new light on the mass restrictions of Helldivers 2 in 180 countries.
Sony needs to learn pc players are noting like console players. If they don't like something about the way you handle a game they will do everything to derail the game. Review bomb on steam, pirate the game what ever.
Sony should just stick to releasing single player pc games. Or don't allow crossplay so no need for PSN linking on pc. Or just stop releasing games on pc.
Sony is ruining one of the best 'live service' games to be released in recent memory... I don't understand publishers man... not just Sony, but all of them. Always about money, never the consumer
Star Wars is coming to Helldivers 2, unofficially that is, as a new mod revamps in-game models and sends players to a galaxy far, far, away.
Nice idea.
I'd like a database in your ship with all you enemies in it and a model viewer so you could study them and look at weak points
Do they mean a try before they buy? If they have already purchased it then it's not worth having the devs use their time for something you can simply do by dropping into a mission. I'd rather they continue to focus on improving the game and adding more content. If it were a case that someday they allow us to modify our weapons and add things on, then sure. It would at least then have a more important purpose in being able to fine tune our weapons faster. I doubt modifying weapons would be coming any time soon, if at all.
