Helldivers 2 community manager says internal discussions are ongoing regarding mandatory PSN account link

I've had my eye on Helldiver's 2, but I'm not creating a PSN account.
I know my $40.00 is pretty important to them, so I thought I would mention it here.
Same. I was thinking about getting it, but the kernel level anti-cheat is a no go, but then I found out on Linux they don't have a kernel-level anti cheat, so then I was thinking about it again. No way they'll ever get me to make a PlayStation account, I left consoles for a reason.
GREAT TO HEAR!
I have a PSN account. I can't ethically support this move that locked so many players out 4 months after buying a game. So I won't be buying until at minimum a solution is in place for all those users, but probably not even then.

Nobody is locked out. Nothing has as yet changed.
-
The Steam page has said "PSN account required" since day one. Anyone opposed to creating a PSN account on moral grounds and bought HD2 has no one to blame but themselves.
Be silent, automaton traitor
I don't usually comment just to tell someone I laughed, but this had me cackling like a madman
How do those boots taste?
And I'm sure the reason you're mad about this now, and not three months ago, is because of ethics in gaming journalism, right?
-
Wrong. Numerous players are in countries where PSN is unavailable. Before the account was made mandatory, the game was perfectly playable on PC for them. Now it isn't.
-
Also wrong. It was only made mandatory recently on PC.
Maybe do a modicum of research before you act like you know what you're talking about.

Was thinking I'd binge this game this winter. Definitely not now lol
You can’t “binge” a live service game where the plot changes in real time.
The plot changes?
In any event, I can definitely binge something even if the plot changes. The core gameplay likely will remain the same.
Yes, you still shoot bugs and robots.
But the planets that are available- and by extension the missions - change all the time. You can’t just mainline the game for 150 hours in a week and experience all of it.
Most of the people complaining about the lack of variance in gameplay are the ones playing 12 hours a day constantly.
This is a hot take. Playing on a hot planet against bots and defending a cold planet against bugs isn't an engaging live story.
Enabling TCS on planets and having to disable them on a destroyed version of the map a month later because the TCS was actually mutating the bugs to become more powerful?
We must be playing two different games. I shoot some bugs, play some DDR, and hop on an airplane.
I know my $40.00 is pretty important to them, so I thought I would mention it here.
Not gonna lie chief, I don't think anyone from SIE is on Lemmy. Like, I agree, but also I think nobody who needs to hear you is listening, not because they're not listening, but because they aren't here to hear you.
Lol. Yeah.
Sorry, I left off the /s there.
