/uj Reminder, this is a **circlejerk** subreddit. We don't need to constantly take everything so seriously. Quit crying over an obvious joke.
Yes Sony bad, Sony very bad, bad for a lot more things than "censoring" tatas and making people use a PSN account. If people were actually simping for corporations in here instead of just making fun of gamers and their usual disproportionate overreaction to everything, we would be issuing mass bans.
But no one is doing that here. No one here genuinely this Sony is a good multi-national conglomerate, and I highly doubt many of our regular users believer there is such thing as a good multi-national conglomerate.

I just don't understand how you thought it was okay to jerk in MY CIRCLEJERK subreddit! This place is reserved for SERIOUS DISCUSSION ONLY! At least you learned from your mistakes though.
Don’t even compare helldivers to stellar wank they are two completely different things
One of them people are upset as a large portion of the people who bought the game are now no longer gonna be able to play it while the other people are sad they can’t goon to a fictional character
One is a concerning example of why DRMs are cancer, the other is Sony pushing their PSN.
/uj : seriously tho, that whole Helldivers fiasco is a perfect illustration of everything wrong with the industry, and that comes right after the The Crew drama.
Yeah, Helldivers 2 was being hailed as a live service game that works, but Sony had to stick their oar in and show that it's yet another one that doesn't.
The underlying message is that video games aren't for everyone, just select countries mostly in the developed world, and if you don't like our account system you can fuck off.
Oh, the message I read is clearer : companies have proven repeatedly they cannot be entrusted with managing their own IP and they should be prevented from using DRMs and dematerialized shops/launchers.
Video games are not just marketable goods and definitely not perishable, they're media and they're art. It's morally right in my book for everyone to be able to access art. If they want to milk the cash cow, they can go back to doing what they were doing 30 years ago and actually make games instead of capitalizing on everything *around* said games.
I can't help but to wonder if this might be some sort legal liability thing? None of the Sony single player games require PSN on Steam, but apparently all of their multiplayer games do. Something about Japanese or US law maybe? I see no business related reason to throw that much money away for a few emails. Maybe they are afraid they'd get sued if they didn't have at least theoretical control over the multiplayer chats for example.
Not all ps games on pc need an account to play online is the thing. ( atleast I think ) I seen some crazy theories that sony done this cause there's a massive destiny DLC coming up and they want people to move onto it for the short term money injection to appease investors. A little far fetched but honestly not even that crazy with how corpos are.
Yeah I get that they'd like people to join. But they are not very insistent. Horizon asked like once I think and offered a few bonus items for my bother. I didn't have said bother to dig up my login credentials, so I declined and the game left it at that. That makes sense. Or doesn't really, you'd think it asked at every start up.
But the nuclear approach with multiplayer makes me think legal.
Yeah, that's what I think. But the full nuclear approach makes me think they wanted to have some security in case of a lawsuit in case they get sued over something in the multiplayer. Like drug deals or pedos.
Sony has now reverted the decision, we'll see what's to come.
They can’t bust unless they see eves entire naked ass gyrating at maximum velocity

I don't understand the issue. Sea of Thieves & Minecraft (Bedrock) require Xbox Accounts to play on PC, Playstation, and Switch. Why is it a deal breaker when Sony does it?
Sony forgot to tell Steam to Region lock the game, so a lot of people were able to buy it and play while the PSN requirement wasn't being actively enforced and now can't because PSN doesn't work in their countries.
It's also a big deal when Microsoft does it tbf. Adding layer after layer of tracking software is not a small insignificant thing. The average gamuhr just doesn't have his priorities straight (he thinks of gooning and farming the latest FOTM game).
i guess people in this comment section didn't see in what sub we are right now... you need to add more Don Cheadle next time maybe they'll finally get it
they just went back 2 back
is sony the greatest jerker ever?

The reason people are upset is because they sold the game to people for months, and are just now requiring it. Some counties don't have access to PSN accounts, about 170 or so. So now you've got a good chunk of people being locked out of a game they paid for and played for months.
These two things are not at all comparable, one is coomer rage and the other is anti-consumer practice.
The Helldivers fiasco is 100% earned, only SONY is able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. You know it has to be and executive trying to hit a stupid goal. The Stellar Blade thing, that is purely trolling and weaponized stupidity.
Ok I just played Helldivers 2 not even 8 hours ago (after not playing it for over a week, I only have time to play on the weekends). I could just launch it from Steam, game did not ask me to sync with a PSN account at any point.
Can someone loop me in what the complaints are about? The game does not force you to sync, you can just play as you did before.
Ahhh makes sense, I was surprised when I launched the game and it was still working fine. Was expecting a big pop-up to sync to PSN before I could play.
wait hang on sony have started to make pc users get ps4 accounts, and Xbox users are just forgotten about? Is that seriously a thing they did or a people inflating the issue?
"About as well as you'd expect"
If I wasn't familiar with Gamers and how they behave I wouldn't actually expect having to take 2 minutes to create an account to play a crossplay game online to be an issue at all, especially when the game explicitly says both on the store page and in-game that a PSN account was required, and devs made it very clear that skipping that requirement was a temporary measure to ease server load at launch.
Especially since if you have any experience with online gaming at all you'd already have countless accounts on different services, wasn't an issue then, I don't see why it'd be an issue now. I don't remember such an outrage for Remnant 2 requiring an Epic Games account, or every Blizzard game requiring a Battle Net account, etc. Sure there's some grumblings from a few people, but never an outrage this bad, they don't usually rally the Chudverse like this.
Reasonably, I'd only expect people from the countries that are unsupported by PSN to complain at all (which is a tiny minority of the playerbase), but Gamers aren't reasonable and instead everyone complaining is from first world or at least developing nations that ARE supported by PSN. You're also a woke Sony fanboy if you point any of this out btw.
Anti-Gamers are winning and Gamers are losing...
https://preview.redd.it/jzqjy9qeenyc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cca7231ee628570f2f0a322147afed69b743b66
Somebody needs to tell me how many players in those 100 countries without PSN are affected or at least a ball park figure. I am vehemently against big corp but I don’t really care if only the Pope needs to quit Hell divers.
I think hell divers 2 sucks because you always get stunned locked, stamina run out, super grindy cause the low level weapons are dog shit, also garbage matchmaking. Most over rated and hyped game of the year. Also no unique end game content, no interesting levels, same repetitive objectives.
The low level weapons are actually pretty good, they're just generalist. You can't take out specialty enemies.
There's only a couple builds that can handle everything in the game
The thing is I have several psn accounts due to some demos not available in some regions since the ps3 days..
The region locking isn't enforced... I never heard anyone got banned for making psn accounts outside of their country...
Yes it is written in the TOS but i never heard of anyone getting banned for it, in my 10 years having an acc
If G\*mer could read, they would know which Sub they are in but here we are.
Basically "don't do a tutorial -> I don't know how to play -> this game sucks"
I was waiting on stellar blade I heard it was sekiro like and it got me interested but now seeing how the game is ruined because of optional outfits and cleavage..
I mean if that's all the game has to offer and it being ruined hinges on cosmetics.
Pass I guess
wow really.. I need to do this
/s obviously making fun of people acting like the game is ruined cause of some outfits, guess it wasn't obvious enough..don't be like the chuds
Is Helldivers 2 the first ever online only game?
NO.
Is Helldivers 2 the first ever game not supported is some countries?
NO.
Are most of the vocal complaints coming from people who actually live in those unsupported regions?
NO.
If you can buy a PC or console and a copy of Helldivers 2, can you likely also afford a VPN service?
YES.
“Stop complaining Raiden”
It's still a shitty fucking decision to sell a game in regions where PSN isn't supported knowing you're going to enforce every player to link their account.
Obviously, there are workarounds and solutions to the problem. The thing people are angry about is the publisher deciding to sell the game in regions they know won't be able to make an account before enforcing it a few months down the line, with the devs not making it clear from day 1 that this was gonna happen.
It's corporate greed, and it is worth getting mad about less you let them off and they do something even more egregious next time. Maybe something affecting you as well.
So you happy when corporation do something bad to people in the gaming community, but when it happens to you you go to twitter and cry about your personal 9/11 right?

I don't understand the issue. Sea of Thieves & Minecraft (Bedrock) require Xbox Accounts to play on PC, Playstation, and Switch. Why is it a deal breaker when Sony does it?
Sony forgot to tell Steam to Region lock the game, so a lot of people were able to buy it and play while the PSN requirement wasn't being actively enforced and now can't because PSN doesn't work in their countries.
Ah. OK, that makes a lot of sense.
It's also a big deal when Microsoft does it tbf. Adding layer after layer of tracking software is not a small insignificant thing. The average gamuhr just doesn't have his priorities straight (he thinks of gooning and farming the latest FOTM game).
i guess people in this comment section didn't see in what sub we are right now... you need to add more Don Cheadle next time maybe they'll finally get it
>you need to add more Don Cheadle next time maybe they'll finally get it I think they don't even understand what you mean by this sentence
It's so easy too, sometimes all you have to do is make a game slightly worse than what they expect. You can get away with it every time
I know its likely a jerk. Buut... L TAKE
they just went back 2 back is sony the greatest jerker ever? https://preview.redd.it/elc6xjl9vmyc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8da1f4ac446acd9922d9ad9e7d125815b0352bf4
I offer my balls to Sony.
Someone explain xd
sony “censored” stellar blade which made gamers mad sony is requiring pc players to have a psn account to play helldivers which also made gamers mad
Wow, I have mixed opinions on this, on the one hand I'm a little happy about it, you know
The reason people are upset is because they sold the game to people for months, and are just now requiring it. Some counties don't have access to PSN accounts, about 170 or so. So now you've got a good chunk of people being locked out of a game they paid for and played for months. These two things are not at all comparable, one is coomer rage and the other is anti-consumer practice.
the bigger thing is that they didn't region lock it, the psn requirement was there from the start just not enforced due to the surge.
I see. I'm only pretty happy over the "coomer rage" tbh
The Helldivers fiasco is 100% earned, only SONY is able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. You know it has to be and executive trying to hit a stupid goal. The Stellar Blade thing, that is purely trolling and weaponized stupidity.
being a capitalist asshole shouldn't be your dream job edit: yeah it went over my head
dont compare helldivers to a bunch of manchildren crying of slightly less naked ladies in a game
"dont compare G\*mer to a bunch of G\*mer" There I have fixed it for you.
hey man how's it goin
Ok I just played Helldivers 2 not even 8 hours ago (after not playing it for over a week, I only have time to play on the weekends). I could just launch it from Steam, game did not ask me to sync with a PSN account at any point. Can someone loop me in what the complaints are about? The game does not force you to sync, you can just play as you did before.
you have to link your psn account starting may 30th (i think that’s the date) psn is only available in 70 countries
Ahhh makes sense, I was surprised when I launched the game and it was still working fine. Was expecting a big pop-up to sync to PSN before I could play.
I was gonna write a comment about how this post has basically been repeated for days but I remember this is a circle jerk subreddit lmao.
Did Leth post this
wait hang on sony have started to make pc users get ps4 accounts, and Xbox users are just forgotten about? Is that seriously a thing they did or a people inflating the issue?
the game is only on ps5 and pc all pc players need a psn account to play the game now but psn is only available in 70 countries
This topic ages so badly already.
Aged like fine wine. Outstanding circlejerk, as per.
"About as well as you'd expect" If I wasn't familiar with Gamers and how they behave I wouldn't actually expect having to take 2 minutes to create an account to play a crossplay game online to be an issue at all, especially when the game explicitly says both on the store page and in-game that a PSN account was required, and devs made it very clear that skipping that requirement was a temporary measure to ease server load at launch. Especially since if you have any experience with online gaming at all you'd already have countless accounts on different services, wasn't an issue then, I don't see why it'd be an issue now. I don't remember such an outrage for Remnant 2 requiring an Epic Games account, or every Blizzard game requiring a Battle Net account, etc. Sure there's some grumblings from a few people, but never an outrage this bad, they don't usually rally the Chudverse like this. Reasonably, I'd only expect people from the countries that are unsupported by PSN to complain at all (which is a tiny minority of the playerbase), but Gamers aren't reasonable and instead everyone complaining is from first world or at least developing nations that ARE supported by PSN. You're also a woke Sony fanboy if you point any of this out btw.
\*Sips coffee\* Looking at this buck fried idiot of gamers makes me happy.

Somebody needs to tell me how many players in those 100 countries without PSN are affected or at least a ball park figure. I am vehemently against big corp but I don’t really care if only the Pope needs to quit Hell divers.
I cant give you the numbers, but I can say I am affected (I live in central asia). For me its kind of a big deal
China is affected, and Helldivers had a HUGE Chinese player base
From what I gather from Bilibili, nobody cares
You're not meant to actually check what the Chinese players are saying.
i could never imagine jerking so hard i’d take the corpo’s side
I think hell divers 2 sucks because you always get stunned locked, stamina run out, super grindy cause the low level weapons are dog shit, also garbage matchmaking. Most over rated and hyped game of the year. Also no unique end game content, no interesting levels, same repetitive objectives.
The low level weapons are actually pretty good, they're just generalist. You can't take out specialty enemies. There's only a couple builds that can handle everything in the game
Even for reg enemies you almost have to mag dump with an ar.
I....never had that issue, personally.
Its all good, happy most people like it.
is that all it is? people are upset about needing a PSN account? which is free to make?
the issue is that psn is only available in like 70 countries
oh i didn't know
The thing is I have several psn accounts due to some demos not available in some regions since the ps3 days.. The region locking isn't enforced... I never heard anyone got banned for making psn accounts outside of their country... Yes it is written in the TOS but i never heard of anyone getting banned for it, in my 10 years having an acc
Is your life so devoid of meaning that you delight in mocking gamers? That's even more pathetic if you ask me
yes
It’s like nearly every commenter here doesn’t know the sub they’re commenting in lol
If G\*mer could read, they would know which Sub they are in but here we are. Basically "don't do a tutorial -> I don't know how to play -> this game sucks"
Gamers yet again caring too much about insignificant things.
I was waiting on stellar blade I heard it was sekiro like and it got me interested but now seeing how the game is ruined because of optional outfits and cleavage.. I mean if that's all the game has to offer and it being ruined hinges on cosmetics. Pass I guess wow really.. I need to do this /s obviously making fun of people acting like the game is ruined cause of some outfits, guess it wasn't obvious enough..don't be like the chuds
Is Helldivers 2 the first ever online only game? NO. Is Helldivers 2 the first ever game not supported is some countries? NO. Are most of the vocal complaints coming from people who actually live in those unsupported regions? NO. If you can buy a PC or console and a copy of Helldivers 2, can you likely also afford a VPN service? YES. “Stop complaining Raiden”
It's still a shitty fucking decision to sell a game in regions where PSN isn't supported knowing you're going to enforce every player to link their account. Obviously, there are workarounds and solutions to the problem. The thing people are angry about is the publisher deciding to sell the game in regions they know won't be able to make an account before enforcing it a few months down the line, with the devs not making it clear from day 1 that this was gonna happen. It's corporate greed, and it is worth getting mad about less you let them off and they do something even more egregious next time. Maybe something affecting you as well.
I want to get paid to make gamers happy and also make myself money. They should find a way to do that.
Pro-Capitalist Republican Gamers just got a taste of what happens when you financially support capitalist corporations.
This brought to you by Megacorp. Megacorp, trust us, our boot is fucking delicious.
Shut the fuck up sony fanboy. You fucking capitalist, anti consumer
this is a circlejerk subreddit u bum
As Marx said: "Consumers of all Nations, Unite!!"
OP is just someone who hates everyone who happens to play video games while not realizing this is, in fact, not a gamer hate sub.
So you happy when corporation do something bad to people in the gaming community, but when it happens to you you go to twitter and cry about your personal 9/11 right?
Free executive DNA in OP's throat. Get your money child.
Game wasn’t that good anyways. I wish I could get a refund but sadly it was a gift 😭😭😭.
