Following the success of the latest Major Order in Helldivers 2, the Terminids are now a greater threat than ever before.
Helldivers 2 will no longer require a mandatory PSN log-in on Steam, confirms PlayStation after a major protest by the community.
So basically they're removing and correcting their fake negative review scores 😂.
How was it a fake negative? They didnt want the psn account, they listened, so the negative review is no longer valid and they're reverting.
@meteorpanda
They shouldn't have bought the game in the first place then, it was always a requirement from day one, it was even on the steam page for the game on day one, funny how a free psn account is too far but origin app needed or ubisoft app needed is all fine, even gamepass that needs an xbox account and also an origin account to use all the games is fine 🙄

What about the regions that can't create PSN accounts? The game was being sold there, people were playing the game from there and suddenly they would have lost the ability to play the game.
@Gamingsince1981
It was never just about the account, it was about restricting people who bought the game retroactively in a region PSN isn't supported meaning they lost access to what they bought. They had every right to be upset with Sony who with some simple foresight could have prevented all of this by either not requiring PSN because they had ALREADY sold the game in regions where PSN is NOT AVAILABLE, or limited the sale of the game to regions PSN is supported from the very start. The former being the only logical option.
Yet we can't stop loot boxes or other apps being needed , like origin and ubisoft .....
The reviews are worthless this move proves it. The actual game remains unchanged. Sony is going to regret giving these pc dummies this amount of sway over their releases on pc.
And just how are they going to regret it? By pc gamers rewarding Sony with more sales? You know that the majority of sales are coming from PC don't you? I also wish that gamers didn't have to resort to backlash but Sony needs to stop being so freaking ignorant and arrogant to the point of believing they are above ridicule. Did you forget how anti consumer blunders helped sink the xbox brand with xbox one, and has still not recovered from? People like you can't even see that backlash isn't just about gamers getting what they want it also helps companies from getting completely out of touch and up their own asses to the point of consumers ditching the brand.
Do you work for Sony, or do you do it for free? Sony isn't going to regret anything. Making money is their top priority just like every other company.
Following the PSN controversy, Helldivers 2 players are reminding each other to change their negative reviews back to positive.
That'll teach Sony! Now that they know you will only change good reviews to bad but never the other way, I'm certain they'll be more likely to listen to similar outrage in the future. Especially seeing as the update to do the thing you didn't want to happen never happened. So, it was only the news of it that made the game worse, not the actual change.
I'm all for pushing your weight around to get corporations to make changes that benefit the community, but not doing your part when they do listen? That's not teaching them to listen to you, quite the opposite. Support the changes we want, don't just deride for the sake of one time not liking a decision that didn't even make its way to release.
Nice. I can apply that logic to games that launched in a terrible state and became great over the years. Guess No Man Sky or Sea of Thieves will always be bad...you can't change what happened, right?
Agreed. You play stupid games... win stupid prizes. When MS said they couldn't just turn off kinect then did... damage was done. Gamers spoke and ms learned a hard lesson.
@InUrFoxHole
The Xbox One launch fiasco sure didn't do anything to convince you Xbox fanboys that Microsoft can't be trusted. It seems like most of you still worship them like gods.
Lol really? What company do you trust? If you trust any company then you have a hard lesson coming as well my friend.
As a compromise, it would be best to dock some points from a positive review, but clearly state the reasons for it.
So if the game is a 10/10 for you, maybe scale it back to an 8-8.5 and provide rationale that the game is excellent, but you docked points because they did try to make you link your PSN account and have since walked that back. It's saying the game is great, but remind Sony that they could have done even better if they didn't attempt to breach consumer trust.
While Sony is clearly in the wrong for making people ever do that, they did say unequivocally that they would introduce the account linking. It's quite difficult to ensure people are informed though because people never read, but this was obviously not necessary which is why they could backtrack.
In the end, Sony shouldn't be surprised by this outcome; they've had pretty bad data leaks over the years. Of course, all internet-connected data can be breached. But it is for that reason that you should not basically line people up to get picked off.
Let’s hope Microsoft learns from making everyone sign up for a Microsoft account to play their games too!
Oh wait…
You literally can though or they wouldn't have asked. Tons of companies backtrack. Sony, ms, etc
Right.? People up in arms over it and the dev didn't even have a say in it. Sony isn't affected by the reviews...Arrowhead is.
@Duke19 The dev literally said that it was him, that removed the PSN link at launch. Lol
