After players complained about the recent Railgun nerf, a Helldivers 2 dev took to Reddit to call it a "skill issue," and it didn't go well.
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.
Oh my jeez, don't need to take the time to teach the team anything lmao, I think it's hilarious the guy said it's a skill issue.. Don't apologize either... Let the dev speak his mind and opinion as well.
Oof
So people can say whatever they want to these devs and they can’t say anything back? It’s their game and if they want to make changes the players are just gunna have to deal with it. I’m a Destiny player so I’ve been dealing with nerfs for 10 years now so what’s the big deal? It’s definitely a skill issue if you can’t kill the chargers or bile titans with other weapons. Bunch of cry babies…
My issue wasn't with him but with the community defending the nerf tbh
How the fudgeballs do you deal with multiple chargers and bile titans, when the response was "skill issue" my response was please show me your gameplay past difficulty 7.
(Meta) It's annoying and I truly dgaf what people are rocking with.
Getting 1 shotted by spitters isn't a skill issue, it's a balance issue. The nerf update was stupid plain n simple.
