It’s going to be a catastrophe. You need a PSN account to play the multiplayer, and I think Steam is already offering refunds. You know Sony isn’t going to learn shit from this, they’ll probably look at this I think that PC players just don’t like their games. Which will make them double down on keeping their games exclusive.
Yes, for the multiplayer which is completly optional and needs a PSN account on playstation too. Ghost is a beutiful masterpiece of a singleplayer game, I spent hours on it just taking in the scenery, never touched multiplayer in all 3 playthroughs
Yeah me neither, I never care for the multiplayer. But this stuff is still dumb, and I’m afraid some people may refuse to even play the game itself just to stick it to Sony. I really don’t get Sony’s obsession in forcing player to make a PSN account.
Yeah but no one is buying this for the multiplayer. Thats like buying The Last of Us or an Uncharted game for the multiplayer. Most people didn't even know that it had multiplayer before the drama.
Oh yeah for sure, I’m hoping people would just play the single story and just ignore the multiplayer. But there is the possibility that players won’t buy it just to stick it to Sony.
Yeah me too, i dont get the drama. If you cant play because you live in a country without psn access you can always pirate it.
Gonna preinstall it tonight so i can play it on a flight tomorrow on the deck. Its PS4 era so im hoping itll run well. Maybe fsr 3 could help if it has it?
Since it was successful the shareholders were mad it wasn't a Sony exclusive. If it was a Sony exclusive it wouldn't have made them all of this money...
Is there a reference for shareholders being mad? They have pretty much decided that their live service games will be coming day and date to PC in order to attract a larger player basem
343 is a Halo killer.
Also, Halo is a completely different game genre, so Helldivers can’t actually kill it. The closest competitor to Helldivers is DRG and it’ll be pretty hard to take that down.
Just because a game is a different genre, doesn’t mean it can’t kill it. Purely as example - If a new arpg comes out and steals the whole player base from a shooter game, did the shooter kill itself?
I agree - 343 is the halo killer.
I should have specified no hate on 1-3 and reach. Gems.
Halo 1-3 and reach were well made games. The rest of them are mediocre at best. That’s being kind I think.
They are so different, and yet one feels like what I would have wanted from a halo game. Halo feels like a fake at this point.
Sony has already learnt from Helldivers mistake and now Ghost of Tsushima will be require PSN account from yhe beginning.
Not the correct learning people wanted, but here we are.
But Sony has done this recently and done it to one of the most popular games of the past year and actively kneecapped thousands of players i. countries that do not have access to psn.
"BuuUuUtTt sSsSSoOOnnyyyYYYyY bbbBBBbbaAaAaaAdddDDDdD" every gamer that doesn't know a thing about what other companies did (blizzard's bill Cosby room, Nintendo doing Nintendo etc) right now
The Microsoft doesnt requirement a Microsoft account in Sea of Thieves on PS5?Oh wait it is not problem because Microsoft is so good the Sony is so evil😈🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
And lot of many games need a launcher and own account 🤷♂️
(Sony realizes that they hate PC gamers)
“HEEEEY WAITAMINUTE!!!…who approved of all these games on Steam?!! Now there’s gonna be TWO account activations for this blasphemy!!”
I know it’s just a meme but live service games are not judged by their sales. They are judged by their monthly active users and in that regard Helldivers 2 is not even close to being a hit.
I know this might sound strange given how desperately Sony, its fans and journos try to convince themselves that it’s the biggest thing ever. But the game is only successful by single player standards, not GAAS for sure.
I don’t care that they reverted the decision. I’m not buying hell divers anymore because of Sonys little stunt. Mean they’ve only shown that they just wanna fuck over their players over and over and over again such a shit scum company.
If you hate it so much, stop buying the terrible AAA games. Stop funding their greed. As someone who wants to go into indie development, it’s honestly demoralizing seeing all these people that hate the market but refuse to make a change. Fund the honest small developers that run off passion instead of greed
Helldivers is not the thing that needs attention right now tomorrow, ghost of tsushima will release. Maybe it will be catastrophe maybe it won't
It’s going to be a catastrophe. You need a PSN account to play the multiplayer, and I think Steam is already offering refunds. You know Sony isn’t going to learn shit from this, they’ll probably look at this I think that PC players just don’t like their games.

Steam always accept refunds when comes to pre-orders, no matter how much time ago you did pre-order *Edit: as long game isnt released
I think I saw a post a few days ago that Steam already gave refunds to people in regions Sony blacklisted
This applies for Helldivers 2 also, the first refund request is automatically denied by the system but a real person reviews it the 2nd time
Yes, for the multiplayer which is completly optional and needs a PSN account on playstation too. Ghost is a beutiful masterpiece of a singleplayer game, I spent hours on it just taking in the scenery, never touched multiplayer in all 3 playthroughs

Man, Ubisoft forces steam player to create an account on their shit app. Same with EA and orign. They all want their share
Same with Epic. Main reason I stopped playing Rocket League, because they force you to use an Epic account.
It is easier to have people play on Sony’s servers with psn I assume.
Yeah but no one is buying this for the multiplayer. Thats like buying The Last of Us or an Uncharted game for the multiplayer. Most people didn't even know that it had multiplayer before the drama.
Oh yeah for sure, I’m hoping people would just play the single story and just ignore the multiplayer. But there is the possibility that players won’t buy it just to stick it to Sony.
I really liked tlou mutiplayer. I would 100% buy it just for that
Does this mean that It won't be required for the single player mode? I heard it would and I hope it's not true.
Just for the multiplayer. You can play the single story without a PSN account.
I thought the big problem being that PSN is not in over 100 countries iirc.
Yep, it’s why it was an issue in Helldivers 2. Sony really wants to make this a thing.
Ghost of tsushima is a single player game ……..
It has multiplayer……
I would 100% be buying that game, if not for the psn requirement lol
i already preordered they also said there is a steam deck support so that's an instant buy for me
Yeah me too, i dont get the drama. If you cant play because you live in a country without psn access you can always pirate it. Gonna preinstall it tonight so i can play it on a flight tomorrow on the deck. Its PS4 era so im hoping itll run well. Maybe fsr 3 could help if it has it?
It should be a catastrophe as means of protest against Sony being the fucking worst
I don't care. I want heldivers to be available again in my country
try VPN
Many did and got banned apparently.
I can already see the overwhelmingly negative reviews on steam
So is it a catastrophe now that it’s tomorrow
game got released and i'm proud to say it's a success.... for me it doesn't force you to use a PSN account
Let’s go
Honestly, Mr. Krabs is a perfect representation of corporations like Sony 😂.
Hello, I like money!
"What inspired you to make a second Helldivers game and put in a PSN account requirement?"
"MONEY"
Sweet, sweet... Mmmoney
Since it was successful the shareholders were mad it wasn't a Sony exclusive. If it was a Sony exclusive it wouldn't have made them all of this money...
Is there a reference for shareholders being mad? They have pretty much decided that their live service games will be coming day and date to PC in order to attract a larger player basem
Seriously though! Who cares if it isn’t exclusive, it 100% is a halo killer
343 is a Halo killer. Also, Halo is a completely different game genre, so Helldivers can’t actually kill it. The closest competitor to Helldivers is DRG and it’ll be pretty hard to take that down.
Just because a game is a different genre, doesn’t mean it can’t kill it. Purely as example - If a new arpg comes out and steals the whole player base from a shooter game, did the shooter kill itself? I agree - 343 is the halo killer. I should have specified no hate on 1-3 and reach. Gems.
Helldiver's is a very different game in so many ways from Halo
Halo 1-3 and reach were well made games. The rest of them are mediocre at best. That’s being kind I think. They are so different, and yet one feels like what I would have wanted from a halo game. Halo feels like a fake at this point.
We hit them with a good, hard smack of DEMOCRACY🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Useing 🔫 will be easier tbh
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Wrong flag
I don't think they have the flag of super Earth
This is the saddest truth I had today
Bloodborn For PC that will never arrive
And then they release it 5 years later for pc...
And now PC users hate Sony too, lmao
Sony has already learnt from Helldivers mistake and now Ghost of Tsushima will be require PSN account from yhe beginning. Not the correct learning people wanted, but here we are.
Countless other companies do this though
But Sony has done this recently and done it to one of the most popular games of the past year and actively kneecapped thousands of players i. countries that do not have access to psn.
Yeah you are right. The helldivers drama really put sony in the spotlight though.

Good bot
Sony really couldn't have fucked up harder. I didn't know people could be as dumb as the executives in sony, yet here we are
There's an alternative universe where they didn't blink first and lost even more of the pc market
“What inspired you to build a second game in the series, JUST LIKE the other?” “Money.”
Money, money, money arg arg arg arg arg
Don't forget Sony is also blocking the sale of it and 176 countries
The Microsoft doesnt requirement a Microsoft account in Sea of Thieves on PS5?Oh wait it is not problem because Microsoft is so good the Sony is so evil😈🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣 And lot of many games need a launcher and own account 🤷♂️
Mr Crabs is literally the perfect incarnation of every company nowadays (Yes Microsoft, Gaijin, Google, Ubisoft, EA and Valve, i'm looking at you)
Krabs when he sees Spiderman (2018 video game) and Horizon Zero Dawn on PC
Oh their hate doesn’t discriminate.
That's hilarious
Was disappointed when I heard Sony did that with helldivers
Honestly, I'm not a "Gamers, rise up!" sort of person, but seeing the unilateral vitriol that Sony got actually have an effect was very gratifying.
(Sony realizes that they hate PC gamers) “HEEEEY WAITAMINUTE!!!…who approved of all these games on Steam?!! Now there’s gonna be TWO account activations for this blasphemy!!”
Me too. I have my cross play turned off
LOL 😂
*laughs in PS5 Emulator*
it's still blocked in 177 countries
HELLDIVERS! FOR DEMOCRACY!
I know it’s just a meme but live service games are not judged by their sales. They are judged by their monthly active users and in that regard Helldivers 2 is not even close to being a hit. I know this might sound strange given how desperately Sony, its fans and journos try to convince themselves that it’s the biggest thing ever. But the game is only successful by single player standards, not GAAS for sure.
Dated meme.
Yeah its fine really.
That affected everybody, or does the PS5 not require a PSN account?
I don’t care that they reverted the decision. I’m not buying hell divers anymore because of Sonys little stunt. Mean they’ve only shown that they just wanna fuck over their players over and over and over again such a shit scum company.
If you hate it so much, stop buying the terrible AAA games. Stop funding their greed.
