Sounds like they will be bringing the PSN requirement back for future games maybe. The only thing they probably learned was to announce the requirement for account linking from the start and make it more vissible
Sony has written off those countries for years of PS sales, its been a resounding yes for them since long before they started inching into the PC market
I think for the executives the only reason to release old games on pc is to bring more players to their console, and if they can’t have a psn account that means they will nvr buy a PlayStation. That’s my guess
Definitely the third option. They’re going to wait until Helldivers hype dies down then quietly reimplement the requirement when much less people are tuned in. Guaranteed.
Probably bullshui but there’s a 3rd option that they have legal reasons not to operate servers in some of those regions and helldivers was violating those restrictions. It takes more than a week to review the legal code in 180 countries, review the internal policies in place and audit the game for any violations all with the added complexity that arrowhead and sony are independent entities.
Sorry, the argument is they should have zero consequences for trying something reviled because they abandoned it later? And that will make them not try similar things later, because of reasons?
The “argument” is that a few people said people should reward them doing the right thing eventually but others somehow think that’s evil or some weird ass shit.
It’s not complicated, as much as Internet weirdos want it to be
Ok it’s just weird to me that people like you have some moral objection to a slightly different attitude applied to reviews. It’s not something worth talking about.
Remember the people suggesting to change the Hell Divers negative reviews because Sony listened?
They have learned nothing

Is that worth the loss of sales from those 177 or whatever it was extra countries? That’s the part that confuses me.

It seems the answer is yes.

Yeah I’m sure changing negative reviews is a factor here and totally wouldn’t have been an incentive for future good behavior
Their incentive is money. All this is teaching them is that they need to find a different approach to do the same thing.
The AAA outfits are trash and should die.
Bad reviews tend to lead to worse sales…

They are being rewarded for doing the right thing simply by people not continuing to refund.

Nobody cares what attitude to apply to reviews. You decided to have a conversation. You don’t have to continue it.
