Helldivers 2 received over 14,000 negative reviews today due to an update that will require PSN accounts next week.

I feel sorry for the Arrowhead devs. They made a spectacular game that was revered across the entire industry and loved by its fans, and their overlords at Sony went and caused so much damage to their reputation overnight. Literally just 24 hours ago people were writing articles about how Helldivers 2 is the right way to make a game and should be an example for the rest of the industry, and then Sony calls in a hellbomb on the reviews.

I've never understood why players can't demand a refund when a fundamental aspect of a game changes.

Game companies sure are completely disconnected from their audience these days.

When I was growing up, game companies were happy that their games became popular. There was none of this shit going on.

Anyone wanna tell me what publishers do and why anyone does business with them?

Afterwards, who wants to crowdfund a super generic 'just gets the job done' publishing company that touches nothing else?

It's 62,477 negative for the May 3rd, and 18,604 negative so far today

Fans: "This sucks" Developers: "It wasnt our choice, it was sony" Sony: "Hahaha deal with it and give us your money" Fans: "Fine, okay"

Based, fuck Sony and the power trip happy community manager at Arrowhead that wants to ban people easier.

I'm doing my part.

I haven't tried the account linking process yet but I wanted first to log in to PSN through their website and I can't, not even from different devices.

Anyone else having a similar issue?
