Rwanda! @thorn dawn we're staying

[quaint escarp]

basically countries no one cares about /s

[shadow tartan]

Oh damn

[thorn dawn]

Have they tried being rich instead?

[shadow tartan]

Dick'ead 🤣

I'm cackling

Stop

[idle saffron]

I see Georgia is listed, poor Joe Rogan

[shadow tartan]

My boy Luka made a PS account there

[thorn dawn]

Bit of a piss take though tbh, they should refund everyone if they put in things like mandatory account linking post launch

[fleet moat]

from these countries, they're literally unable to go to this website? https://id.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/id/create_account_ca/#/create_account/wizard/account_info_page2?entry=create_account

checking

[idle saffron]

No clue

[quaint escarp]

u can with vpn

[shadow tartan]

Yeah they should, dev fault that they didn't mention it properly though. But everybody has to hate Sony.

[idle saffron]

Ew, what does that say on the gas

[mental rose]

Surprised Monaco is on that list... isn't that a rich and developed country? 🤨

[idle saffron]

Hate that gif now

[fleet moat]

wait wait, lmao there's a country named Chad??? I need to move there

[mental rose]

They have an F1 track

[idle saffron]

You Alpha

[thorn dawn]

Yup, no issue with the linking just the implementation

[fleet moat]

https://tenor.com/view/chad-face-chad-shaking-head-no-boeshi-gif-27600815

[shadow tartan]

People won't get banned for VPN either, plus the misinformation is wild

[idle saffron]

Lol

[shadow tartan]

I never used a VPN and used my UK account in other countries

[idle saffron]

They think Sony gets access to your Steam account, as in all details

Lmao

[shadow tartan]

To create an account maybe

[idle saffron]

Name/email - that's what they'll get

[shadow tartan]

But I had to create a US and Japan account anyway

[thorn dawn]

So my name and hatoful boyfriend playtime

Not the end of the world

[shadow tartan]

Pretty much

[idle saffron]

Which all these crazies give every other website no problem

[shadow tartan]

They'll find your real name and send you pamphlets

[shadow tartan]

Nah bro they're all members of Anonymous

[thorn dawn]

JW's already send me those

[shadow tartan]

Need to beware

[idle saffron]

Wild overreaction, I'd act surprised - but I have been on the internet before

[fleet moat]

well, i'm not sure if the company Sony is actually encouraging players who aren't in the countries listed here: https://id.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/id/create_account_ca/#/create_account/wizard/account_info_page2?entry=create_account to go out of their way to not only use Vpn, but straight up lie by selecting a country in that drop-down where they do not reside. Especially when that page says:

Your home location is used to verify your identity when you contact us. Other players won't be able to see it.

My assumption is that Sony will have to address this issue either by refunding those players or by creating a different form that will support the countries not listed there.

[idle saffron]

Those are literally the only people with a gripe - and they aren't the ones freaking out

It's PC players that could but don't want to have to

[fleet moat]

I'm sure some of those would be annoyed by the inability to create the account. And they're probably contacting Sony about it.

[rotund cosmos]

If they aren't from those countries... I don't really see an issue when the loading screen is a Sony screen

[idle saffron]

Aye, I bet they are getting refunds, which is what Sony will actually pay attention to

[fleet moat]

I think adding fuel to the fire isn't worth most people's time. The fire will die out on its own.

[idle saffron]

Freaking out on Discord is meaningless

[quaint escarp]

steam will refund those ppl

[weak tiger]

But it’s fun harassing people :((((

[fleet moat]

[idle saffron]

You are too lovely to stoop to Nate's level

Lol

[shadow tartan]

With the store stuff it might just be location for sales.
Like how people in Quebec set their consoles to Alberta for lower tax on games and don't get in trouble.

I just love angry gamers spitting hate because ya know. They can't hurt me and their rage is my joy.

[shadow tartan]

OI

[shadow tartan]

Listen here you

You fuckin joined in

[idle saffron]

Oh, I'm not lovely

[shadow tartan]

Damn right you ain't

[coarse swift]

No but I am

[idle saffron]

Yeah

[shadow tartan]

Good Guy Ceryncross

Gave his last kidney to an orphan

[coarse swift]

I'm the orphan

[shadow tartan]

Nice workaround

[coarse swift]

Got my own kidney for free

[rotund cosmos]

Sony doesn't really do refunds... And if they try to refund on steam, I'm willing to bet they played for more than 2 hours

[idle saffron]

They have already been doing refunds

[rotund cosmos]

Oh that's a nice change of pace

Ok, disaster averted

[shadow tartan]

Overnight success, don't forget the dev motto.
I don't think they care a great deal about refunds in the grand scheme.

[idle saffron]

This is a perfect opportunity to demonstrate the actual power of the consumer. Majority demands money back, Sony backpedals

[weak tiger]

Consume Sony

[rotund cosmos]

Just a small red number amongst a sea of profit increases

[idle saffron]

I doubt the gamers will band together enough for that though

[shadow tartan]

People are blaming Sony for bad or delayed Dev implementation

[idle saffron]

They have devolved to insulting each other and Sony

[rotund cosmos]

Ain't no way gamers will be that cohesive

[shadow tartan]

I would be having coffee reading the emails

[idle saffron]

And the mods, like they had anything to do with it

[weak tiger]

Yikessss

[shadow tartan]

@idle saffron you joined in hahahahahaha

We danced in the fire together

[rotund cosmos]

Gamers are like Chihuahuas to corporates

[weak tiger]

Gleam why doesn’t animal crossing have pvp with Force abilities implement that please

[idle saffron]

Ok, next patch

[weak tiger]

Word

[shadow tartan]

Nobody is actually pointing the blame at the people who didn't implement it properly even after their community manager typed it out for a bunch of morons.

[rotund cosmos]

People blame Sony for requiring this to be implemented.

Regardless of when it should be

[mental rose]

"Vote with your wallets"
I've heard it so many times in the past month. It's basically my mantra at this point

[rotund cosmos]

Bah, it's filler talk

[thorny python]

we also need crossbows

[shadow tartan]

They already said it was delayed because of their issues. If the rep for the dev comes out to say it and people still blame someone else...

[weak tiger]

Just voted for salt and vinegar kettle chips 🙏

[idle saffron]

Roger that

[shadow tartan]

Mmmm

I voted for Chinese as it's a celebration

[rotund cosmos]

When did they say that?

[shadow tartan]

I'll go find the link, community manager said it in chat

I linked it for the angry people there just to wind them up more

[rotund cosmos]

Ok, thanks

[shadow tartan]

Because it was the right thing to do 🤣

[idle saffron]

I linked how to make a PS account

Lmao

[rotund cosmos]

Y'all brave for even going into general chat

[shadow tartan]

[shadow tartan]

That was glorious

[weak tiger]

I’ll wait a year to test the community’s waters

[shadow tartan]

@rotund cosmos Muzz check the link I posted

[rotund cosmos]

I am

Ya boi clicks fast

[shadow tartan]

I needed the flames and acid of today

I feel like I'm eating brains out of skulls

So tasty

[weak tiger]

First thing I see is “I LOVE EXTORSION”

[shadow tartan]

Ahahahaha right

[weak tiger]

You might go hungry in there fam 😔

[rotund cosmos]

I mean... That's pretty decisive. If that's how it is, thats how it is. Its another dev stumble like the miscommunication fiasco

[shadow tartan]

After they got a game for £40 and played it for hours whilst commenting on its value

[rotund cosmos]

You know... That kinda sums up the reading comprehension

[shadow tartan]

There you go, Muzz the thing is you can read.

Some of these people are too busy on TikTok or some other mind rotting shit

And I'm fine with that

[weak tiger]

Nate says no brainrot on company time

[shadow tartan]

Only when I smoke a joint

And even then I'm active

[rotund cosmos]

And willing to be wrong

Willing to say "I made a mistake"

Apparently that phrase died

[shadow tartan]

Mate I love telling corporate to go fuck themselves, I've done it plenty

[weak tiger]

I’ve learned so much from the mistakes I’ve made, might as well make a few more

[shadow tartan]

But this is too good

[rotund cosmos]

Corporates deserve it. But yeah, at least following the community manager's word, this really is on them

[rotund cosmos]

Nuh uh, mistakes are not made equally, otherwise, we wouldn't have orphanages

[mental rose]

Gonna be really dark times ahead if I have to actually start reading through EULAs every time I want to buy a game...

[rotund cosmos]

I skim through them now

[shadow tartan]

People always imagine that it's corporate bodies behind all mistakes, negative effects on players etc
Even when they're told otherwise and shown things in black and white they will still say the same thing

[mental rose]

I want to have fun, not sign on a mortgage!

[weak tiger]

I’m not reading and if something happens I’ll just holler on discord at other players

[shadow tartan]

I've been betting on this kind of stuff with @idle saffron

[shadow tartan]

Me first

[idle saffron]

Aye

[rotund cosmos]

I mean... They straight make them sooooooo verbose that's it's hard for the average person to read

[rotund cosmos]

They like their knee jerk reactions I guess. Their emotional tantrums feel good

[weak tiger]

I mean, you see the state of that general chat

[rotund cosmos]

"how dare something like this happened, even though it was written before I played the game"

[shadow tartan]

You have to abide by laws and legislations, EULAs and TOS are all part of making sure you're covered.
Same when changes had to be made to a lot of them retroactively when GDPR was introduced.

[rotund cosmos]

Nah, I haven't been in there

[shadow tartan]

Yeah I love it but I just collect the rage flavoured tears and read the informative parts

[weak tiger]

It is full firehose “f sony undemocratic rock and stone brothers i hate games sony is the devil”

[rotund cosmos]

Legally they have to exist.

But I mean, for the average 14 year old. They won't read it

[shadow tartan]

Nope, even for the average 34 or 44 year old

[rotund cosmos]

You right the average person

[shadow tartan]

And then the game comes and goes and nobody cares

It hasn't affected them

Data leaks are different

Any data leak is shit

[weak tiger]

Bioware can have my hypothetical firstborn anyway

[coarse swift]

Oh thank fuck they're not doing that weird ass metal shading in season 3

[rotund cosmos]

Data leaks are pretty common nowadays

[shadow tartan]

But then that's like me crying about the ISP that accidentally leaked all user data

[thorn dawn]

so whys off-topic over here today

[rotund cosmos]

Still about Helldiver's

[shadow tartan]

It's about another game

[weak tiger]

why are you here

[shadow tartan]

I woke up from my nap and it's still the Great Chicago fire out here

[thorn dawn]

social anxiety, mostly

[rotund cosmos]

Oh snap, I haven't even finished season 1

[shadow tartan]

@thorn dawn 🫂

[weak tiger]

[coarse swift]

Season 1 is great
Season 2 dropped the ball
Season 3 needs to pick it up

[rotund cosmos]

Still Data Leaks are common enough to where most people should have steps in place to mitigate the damage

[shadow tartan]

@idle saffron

[rotund cosmos]

Besides, it just sucks for those who are region locked. Nobody else has a leg to stand on

[shadow tartan]

I'm not a thirsty person

But damn

[rotund cosmos]

Watching a train crash in slow motion

[thorny python]

more nutrients in tears than in sweat

[coarse swift]

You'll get flak if you don't at least clarify it's not referring to the people dealing with region lockout

[rotund cosmos]

Too much salt for my tastes.

Pretty sure there is more salt in those tears than in the dead sea

[weak tiger]

Curious, why is the game region locked?

[rotund cosmos]

Sony

That's just a Sony thing

[coarse swift]

PSN isn't available in many countries
If you can't make a PSN account, no Helldivers 2

[shadow tartan]

Oh no, I'm gonna get flak

You broke my leg Ceryn

Flak is the least of my worries

[coarse swift]

Nothing a stim cant heal

[rotund cosmos]

Though, if it was always supposed to have linked accounts. Then those in those regions wouldn't have been able to play anyway

[shadow tartan]

Stims rapidly

[thorn dawn]

[rotund cosmos]

Nobody would've cared if this was at launch

Well cared much

[coarse swift]

Pirating a multiplayer game must be fun

[shadow tartan]

I was talking about this a week or two ago and I even said it was dumb that you'd have to link PSN to play a PC game

[thorn dawn]

If a company doesn't want to do business in your country, piracy/VPN/whatever is a legitimate strategy

[weak tiger]

Ohh I see is it like, international laws that cause Sony to region lock? Idk how these things work and I never looked it up

[shadow tartan]

I thought originally it was just for cross platform trophy tracking

[thorn dawn]

IMNSHO

[coarse swift]

Pirating Ubisoft games is morally correct

[mental rose]

Having to make a PSN account to play one PC game just sounds inefficient and a waste

[shadow tartan]

Funnily enough, piracy is rife in those regions, who woulda known
@thorn dawn

[rotund cosmos]

Maybe? Most of the countries listed are either Africa, SE Asia and some parts of South America

[shadow tartan]

Who
Woulda
Known

[quaint escarp]

more like its too much of a hassle for them to go thru the hoops to get their business into the countries

[rotund cosmos]

A few European ones would be like Monaco, North Macedonia

[shadow tartan]

Nah it's easy to operate anywhere and set up an office but if you are in the same list as Rwanda, oh boy

[rotund cosmos]

Don't know if Monaco is in the EU.

[thorn dawn]

I can't imagine there's a big queue of people waiting to be Sony's SVP of Afghanistan

[shadow tartan]

Adam do we need a VPN when we move?

[rotund cosmos]

I don't know if there is a large enough market in those regions

[quaint escarp]

thats when u get hazard pay

[shadow tartan]

I'll do it

Need a change of scenery

[quaint escarp]

yeah thats part of what i mean by hassle

[thorn dawn]

idk tbh, African countries are hit and miss with internet. Some have it great, others literally nothing

[quaint escarp]

theres no real profit to be made

[shadow tartan]

Not enough rage here, let me go look over there

[quaint escarp]

uae and sa are the only 2 in africa i know that has a gaming market

[rotund cosmos]

I didn't see South Africa on the list but lots of North/ Easter/ and Western African countries

[quaint escarp]

well middle east

[mental rose]

https://tenor.com/view/mad200-heavy-tf2-percentage-rage-gif-16820921

[rotund cosmos]

It shocked me Egypt is on the list

[shadow tartan]

@idle saffron you .... Hahahahaha

[shadow tartan]

SA can make PS accounts

[rotund cosmos]

Yeah they can, I'm talking about the other African countries

Pretty much... The rest of the continent

[shadow tartan]

A lot of middle eastern places used to use the UK store which is why for a while prices were held higher than US/Asia

[rotund cosmos]

Wild

[shadow tartan]

Is what it is

[rotund cosmos]

Anyone knows why Georgia, Moldova, and North Macedonia are on there?

[shadow tartan]

My friends from Saudi played PS with me, s'all good

[shadow tartan]

Corruption

[rotund cosmos]

Makes sense

[shadow tartan]

Ask Joe Rogan if he's around, I have friends from Georgia and Moldova and they all complain about how corrupt and gangster filled it is

Ex-KGB etc

[rotund cosmos]

Honestly, most countries on that list are unstable/corruption ridden

Or straight up have no market.

[weak tiger]

I too am unstable and corruption ridden

[rotund cosmos]

I haven't heard of any gamers from Mongolia so

[rotund cosmos]

you say with a snowflake and Christmas tree

[thorn dawn]

A lot of western countries have laws on the books that require them to not pay bribes etc. regardless of where the business activity takes place

UK included

UK sony senior management could be held liable if sony georgia started making facilitation payments

for example

[weak tiger]

You Wouldn’t Deck The Halls With Boughs Of Holly

[rotund cosmos]

You right, id deck them with fists

[thorn dawn]

Holy shit my work's mandatory training actually was useful

[rotund cosmos]

Ooh, tariff/embargo esque reasons

Honestly, that makes better sense. Even as to why Bulgaria can and her neighbors cant

[thorn dawn]

Airbus got nailed for it recently

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/jan/31/airbus-to-pay-record-3bn-in-fines-for-endemic-corruption

Charged, convicted and fined for bribing people outside the UK

[shadow tartan]

@idle saffron as you can see no matter where I go I find other tea drinkers to laugh with

[quaint escarp]

on one hand i find it dumb, on the other i get why

[idle saffron]

Lol

[rotund cosmos]

As well to pay the French and I'm assuming the US is the third country

[shadow tartan]

@thorn dawn didn't a second Boeing whistleblower die recently?

[thorn dawn]

yup

[shadow tartan]

Nice

[rotund cosmos]

Rip

[shadow tartan]

Covering shit up, old school

[rotund cosmos]

They still think it's the prohibition era apparently

Or taking a page out of the KGB

[weak tiger]

Back in my day we dueled for our honor 😔

[rotund cosmos]

Ancient Wormy.

Still had honor

[weak tiger]

I lost it, might be under a couch cushion or in a drawer somewhere

[rotund cosmos]

No shit? Why you need this kind of info?

[rotund cosmos]

Nah, it got eaten by the drier machine. It's in a pocket dimension with the right footed socks and quarters

[thorn dawn]

Because if the company tells me that bribing people is illegal then it shifts liability onto me if I bribe someone

[rotund cosmos]

Can't believe youre in a position where that can happen

[quaint escarp]

bribing people is illegal if you are caught

just dont get caught, easy

[thorn dawn]

I'm responsible for a budget of a few million quid

So I have the means

[rotund cosmos]

Dayum

They give the embezzlement PowerPoint too?

[quaint escarp]

siphon some of the money into an offshore account who's gonna notice

[mental rose]

Such a Battletech thing to say.
"It's only a warcrime if you lose"

[rotund cosmos]

Perfect. Timing.

[rotund cosmos]

"everything is legal, until you get caught"

[edgy viper]

https://youtu.be/E5QkpOMVnZw?feature=shared

[quaint escarp]

and even then, its still legal if you're in a position of power or have means

[rotund cosmos]

Wee bit late

[rotund cosmos]

Or if you have enough value... Unit 731

[quaint escarp]

did you shoot someone?
are you a cop?
tis fine then

[edgy viper]

I got to the info just now.

Thx sony

[rotund cosmos]

More like
"You shot someone?
Were you seen?
No?
Good job agent"

[edgy viper]

For hating u bit more every year

[rotund cosmos]

Read the history here for a bit. You'll get caught up to speed

[mental rose]

No need to stir the pot any more. It just goes in circles at this point

[rotund cosmos]

The pot must simmer now

Like a fine stew

Oh my god... I accidentally made a pun 😄

[rotund cosmos]

Oh ok ok

[rotund cosmos]

No

[idle saffron]

Avoid the discord though

Lmao

[rotund cosmos]

Every content update will be there

And progressed on your own time

[rotund cosmos]

Hey, mission tactics channel isn't too bad

[shadow tartan]

You already thanked Sony and posted a video, I thought you had the game

[rotund cosmos]

I can't vouch for the others

[shadow tartan]

🤣

[edgy viper]

I saw the memes about creek battle. It was an event of some sort ? Or just community joint roleplay mission.

[rotund cosmos]

Nah, just really really dedicated people

[edgy viper]

[rotund cosmos]

Same

Also, your mates are hilarious

Was in a party call with them.

[edgy viper]

Im backing from buying ps5 as much as i can rn. Because of other prorities and because i dont support sony decisions in past years since ps5 release. So imo ps5 is true ps4 pro. But i dont want to miss out much on great games like HD2.

[shadow tartan]

Some of them on that server are also previous colleagues.
So if you join VC you can hear them abusing me

[rotund cosmos]

They were doing that to themselves. Something something caste system?

As well as one dude who had an accuracy of 4%

[shadow tartan]

Fuckin jokers

[rotund cosmos]

Gotta jump with them again. And actually use my headset to communicate

[winter yew]

Sophomore year is almost up, probably will be getting a PS5 if i do well

So i’ll be in HD2 too

[modern panther]

Uh oh

This is for Helldivers 2

[shadow tartan]

I want to see who is still playing the game and writing bad reviews. I want them to stream it.

[broken prairie]

The bad reviews is for the PSN bullshit

[modern panther]

Correct

[earnest hatch]

the hate is deserved

imo

[solid lynx]

I HATE SONY I HATE SONY I HATE SONY

[solid lynx]

It was entirely Sony, Arrowhead had no say in this decision.

Sony is such an awful publisher I swear

[worldly vector]

Preach my brother

[earnest hatch]

I know

I am not mad at arrowhead whatsoever

but Sony

"safety"

PSN has had more leaks then I have fingers

[shadow tartan]

@idle saffron ahahahahahahahaha

[solid lynx]

What?

[shadow tartan]

Nothing you just can't read

Later

The day @idle saffron and I got to laugh at the illiterate people in denial

[solid lynx]

Don’t gotta be rude man

[shadow tartan]

Accuracy, if people find it rude then they need to learn to read details.
Like people admitting fault.

One of the best days on Discord ever.

[solid lynx]

Telling me I can’t read and I’m illiterate is rude when you could just say something like “You know the Steam page has said you have to link since launch, right?”

[shadow tartan]

Generalising

[solid lynx]

Besides, i’m less angry about the sudden enforcement and more angry that it’s a practice at all

[shadow tartan]

Anyone that can't read where someone admits to something has to be

Like me admitting to something but people deciding to blame someone else

Literally posted it themselves

[silver sparrow]

I have fallen in the Balatro hole

[inland oasis]

@shadow tartan I’m kicking anyone who’s got a psn account from my helldiver team 💀😂

[shadow tartan]

Your legs are gonna get tired

[tranquil glen]

holy shit HD2 chat goin so quick, quicker than usual

[inland oasis]

They dropped a PSN announcement

Essentially, shit hit the fan

[tranquil glen]

bc steam users thought they werent required to have a linked psn for more security, I expected it cause its crossplay

[inland oasis]

See now I’m confused, I have a past, OLD psn account from ps3, but i don’t remember it. So I essentially have to make another psn account. And I rly don’t see the big deal. lol.

I also own it on steam btw

[tranquil glen]

its because apparently PSN gets "hacked alot" which isnt actually that often

[inland oasis]

2014

Wasn’t that the anonymous thing?

[tranquil glen]

2023* suposedly

[inland oasis]

That’s all I remember

I remember psn going down cuz of anonymous once

100%

Other than that idk of any

Not saying there weren’t

[tranquil glen]

tbf I think crapbox and windux more than psn bc they are a bit more popular

[inland oasis]

I mean it can happen to ANY company at any time

No matter the prevention

[tranquil glen]

and again (your playing with pc players who some portion WILL) find a way to mod, cheat, grief, troll...

[inland oasis]

So it’s a self created issue to cry about

It’s annoying sure. But people are reaching for any reason to complain about it

[tranquil glen]

not really, devs were forced to do it bc of crossplay and unless they remove "REINFORCEMENTS IN BOUND" from between the two tis the only way to assist the moderatoin of game

most of pc community can either stfu about it or just play

for those that are arguing anyway*

[inland oasis]

That’s the side I’m on. Lol

Just play 😂🤷🏻

Granted some places literally can’t now

That’s an issue

[tranquil glen]

literally in general on hd2 server its "Dont play, psn was hacked last year the year before that then 2 years then 4 then 6" etc... like bruh GO PLAY and shut up

true some places cant but not much the devs can do about that cept let the regions its unable to let it be free and let them just suffer with it

which would affect the rest of us

[inland oasis]

Yea it’s a real catch 22

[shadow tartan]

@inland oasis we got called lovers

[worldly vector]

I have a feeling

They will do the same for d2 players

But only after fs releases cause they don’t want people refunding preorders (again)

[restive tusk]

If i really wanted to play linking my psn account is easy af.
but i honestly don't understand why this is being forced now, what exactly do they expect to gain that couldnt be achieved with alternatives

It's just antagonizing an otherwise satisfied player base, and likely loosing some potential costumers

[mental rose]

Imo. they should've delayed the game to sort out whatever those "technical issues" were. Then at launch communicated clearly that "Hey Steam users, you're gonna need a PSN account to play this game"
People might be annoyed, but they would just move on to other games from that, and not set the internet ablaze over it...

[worldly vector]

this is such a good run yet im not in dark mirror which means all 225 bones are useless

"gotcha bitch"

[dry copper]

I assume helldivers is getting review bombed

They're at Mostly negative right now

Has HD2 always said it required a playstation account to use it?

It makes sense, given they are published by Playstation

I can't even remember my playstation account. If I already have it linked to steam idk

[inland oasis]

TLDR: u have to have a PSN account to play. period. people angry bout that. using anything and everything as reasons why its SOOOOO big of an inconvience to them. from dataleaks to there grandma dying.

[fleet moat]

Seriously. I feel so speechless with this silly film. The comments are usually funny in these threads. https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/s/hYUh0mZbYy

[dry copper]

Isn't a psn account free?

[inland oasis]

yea, its literally just an account you need to play

plain simple and easy

[dry copper]

hell. You don't even need payment info on it

or a real name

[inland oasis]

but its SUCH an inconvience to them

[dry copper]

If you have a sony account does it change your username?

[rotund cosmos]

I don't think so

But, from a PS pov, Im pretty sure we can change our nicknames

[dry copper]

First time free.

Second time and on is $10

[rotund cosmos]

Guess they really don't want spammed accounts

[plucky mesa]

Looks like KSP2 studio is laying off -- seems KSP2 is over.

[tame cairn]

ah...

i forgot about the spiderwick chronicles

the new show for it anyways

[earnest hatch]

maybe they are going back on the awful change?

[inland oasis]

doubtful. arrowhead is being forced by sonys hand

[silver sparrow]

The Hand of Sony ™️

[tame cairn]

lmao

[earnest hatch]

yeah and its not like they can say no

which is unfortunate

[inland oasis]

yep. arrowheads gets the blame while sony actually caused it. kinda like at a resturaunt, the server takes all the guff cuz the COOK (sony) screwed up

im more curious of the legal side of it as to if any of these corps are gonna try and sue or step in. like steam allowing sony to sell a game worldwide to places PSN isnt even accessable...HOW can that in any form be legal?

plus being that it JUST happened those people clearly have over 2 hours in game typically which nullifies any refund. yet, the people who cant make a psn account LITERALLY cant play, AND are out there money.

its a shitshow

[silver sparrow]

Let the man cook

[shadow tartan]

No dude, as much as I'd love to blame Sony that's far from true, Arrowhead isn't some invincible do-no-wrong developer.
They've slipped numerous times now.

And they communicate like shit

Fucking basic

[inland oasis]

theyve a near flawless track record in terms of good will with the player base up until now

sure the usual patch complainers

not saying theyre perfect by any means

if thats how it came across

[restive tusk]

I mean they had a stellar launch and a very solid game thats creating a bit of a cult following.
This whole Sony PSN business is a stupid stain in the narrative now 😂

[shadow tartan]

Launch wasn't stellar, friends list was broken to shit

[inland oasis]

yet we still played together xD

[shadow tartan]

It was just a fun game and that has changed a bit because of balancing

[shadow tartan]

Yeah but it was ass man

[inland oasis]

i mean, it did its job

idk how it was ass

i never had issues with the friends list tho ik it was issue for some

[restive tusk]

in pratical terms i'd still call it stellar.
considering everything else we have to compare it with when it comes to multiplayer games, it was pretty good

[shadow tartan]

Nah I had so many issues and even helped some people on the Discord squad up

[inland oasis]

i had horribole matchmaking problems with my experience

[shadow tartan]

Legit embarrassing

People that were rl friends in the same country not able to pay together

[inland oasis]

thats still the same ONE problem

[shadow tartan]

Had to add me as a friend and then join me

[inland oasis]

even as bad as it was

[shadow tartan]

They had UI and hosting issues with that though, two separate things

And still has issues

[inland oasis]

just be me

play solo

xD

clearly its helped skew my thoughts on the performance of the game as ive hardly had issues except random disconnects and kicked at extract which im pretty sure was a game bug at the time not actual people kicking

[shadow tartan]

Hell fkn no

[inland oasis]

u get used to being kicked

[shadow tartan]

Hahahahaha

Game at launch was a mess and it's not a surprise that they didn't implement something like this properly. They even added GameGuard late and got backlash.
It's not the first time we've seen people bandaid something broke.

Didn't stop it being fun but still

my phone number is connected to another account i dont even remember and i have no idea how to get it back

Gotta scan your drivers license then

[tame cairn]

i hope this server doesnt change that any time soon

many servers have been doing that

and i just have to leave them all

[weak tiger]

That’s tough :(. There’s been a ton of scamming etc so it does seem like most big servers are going for every security thing available. Did discord support help? Not sure if they could like, find and unlink the account or something

STEAM starting to issue refunds for players over the 2h playtime limit due to PSN on Helldivers 2

Twitter · May 4, 2024, 6:49 PM

[edgy viper]

May the 4th be with you. Yoda stick lore for me is canon because them vids 😆

https://youtu.be/3Xl0Qr0uXuY?feature=shared

[primal loom]

Good that people that are region-locked by PSN can at least get a refund if nothing else

Hopefully they will make an exception for those users as well

[winter yew]

hey this looks fu— gets destroyed

[mental rose]

Welcome to classic Monster Hunter.
Because that's a trio of Deviants by oldschool rules. Enjoy your stay 😄

[winter yew]

im gonna say it, base rathian is more annoying than base rathalos. I hate that one poison attack

[dry copper]

Seasoned fried chicken

[dry copper]

I thought so.

[inland oasis]

Diabolos. Nuff said. Most irritating fight if you forget flash pods

[winter yew]

im scared

havent fought it yet

[inland oasis]

Have you ever been animation locked yet? Like hit, stunned into another hit, and by the time you get up you get hit and stunned again. Literally like nothing you can do? I swear it’s famous for doing that to me

[winter yew]

https://tenor.com/view/vietnam-flashback-traumatized-cat-gif-7852054576948114551

These animations last way too long

[inland oasis]

The “dazed/dizzy” one I hate the most. And the one where your guy doesn’t stand up straight and crawls around a bit. Idk if I’m placebo effecting myself but I swear walking in the opposite direction of the way your guys is clumsily falling over I think helps regain your footing

It feels like I stand up faster, but idk if that’s just me lol or a game mechanic

[winter yew]

they really should make it so button spamming makes it wear off faster

[inland oasis]

I also am convinced the game punishes for button spam. Lol. Anytime I do slow thought out combos it all goes smooth. As soon as I start forgetting and just smashing buttons, it’s like the game flips a switch and says “you die now”

That and I miss every hit

[winter yew]

my friend says Valstrax WILL oneshot

[inland oasis]

Idk what Valstrax even is yet but it wouldn’t surprise me. There was this one challenge to kill these massive mosswine things, they one shot me somehow lol

[winter yew]

i need to hunt more Rathalos to get that armor set S

[inland oasis]

I still use the defender armor 😅 fully upgraded though

[winter yew]

I love monster hunter

[inland oasis]

Defender katana IV atm

[winter yew]

yeah, apparently the defender set is BASE endgame armor and weaponry

what hub rank are you?

[inland oasis]

Yep, at iceborn you get your ass kicked again. And I’m already struggling a bit 😅

I believe I’m HR 16?

[winter yew]

im still at 6* crying

[inland oasis]

I can’t remember exactly. I’m up to everstream, and nergigante for the second time

[winter yew]

fair i did start a week ago

[inland oasis]

Roughly about the same

Litttleee bit longer

I got the bundle on sale for 67% off so I had to get it

[winter yew]

g a m e p a s s

im saving up for a PS5 so i cant afford to actually buy games..

[inland oasis]

I got gamepass too lol. But no storage space 😂

[winter yew]

NOO, i hate how simply trying to switch items can use them

[inland oasis]

I use controller lol

So I use left n right on Dpad

Took me a while to stop thinking X was attack like a lot of games. And instead it’s the trigger lol

Oh one tip you may already know

Save up like 75k and buy the power and armor charm from the trade store guy at the hub

If you keep them on you it’s a flat defense and attack increase

[winter yew]

already have

found them on my own

[inland oasis]

Ah nice

Wait till you fight the legiana

To me it’s like a rathian with ice instead of poison lol

[winter yew]

i’m not a big fan of Rathian

[inland oasis]

Lmao wait till you have to fight the pink/azure rathalos/rathian. I forget which it is

Anything that flies isn’t fun to fight. My personal opinion lol

But I bully great Jagras at this point 😂

[winter yew]

this game either makes you feel like a hero or a soldier fighting a war they cannot win

There is no in between

[inland oasis]

Lmao yea. What class do you use? I main Longsword at the moment. Haven’t gotten to try anything else yet

[winter yew]

dual blades

half of the damage but much higher dps

[inland oasis]

Isn’t that highly mobile as well

That’s why I went LS instead of buster sword lol. I like being able to move too

[winter yew]

uou need to see some of these clips

this is the only uploaded atm

hated this guy, screaming every three seconds. No aid ever came

had to solo it

[inland oasis]

https://medal.tv/games/mh-world/clips/28U1QzUQtNjR65

Gotta love finishes like this

[winter yew]

never seen that before

different ui?

[inland oasis]

Uhhh, default settings lol I never changed nothing

Maybe it’s diff per class

[winter yew]

no, i dont think it is

im playing rise, you?

[inland oasis]

I noticed yours doesn’t look like monster hunter worlds lol

Ohhhhh

Lmao

[winter yew]

ohhhhh

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-emoji-lol-lmao-so-funny-lugh-gif-16042358

[worldly vector]

😂

[inland oasis]

I been on MHW the whole time tryna get to iceborn.

[winter yew]

thats why

[inland oasis]

Lmao

[winter yew]

Valtrax is a Rise exclusive ig

[inland oasis]

Gotcha, that’d make sense then

Goes to show you can play 2 different games and they have such good similarities that it doesn’t matter which you play

[winter yew]

Which village does world take place in

Rise is Kamura

[inland oasis]

Uhhh. No idea. I just know the hub names 😂

[winter yew]

[inland oasis]

Cutscenes are unskippable so I’ve kinda ignored

[winter yew]

me when monster hunter

[inland oasis]

It bugs me when I can’t choose to skip em

[winter yew]

rise has skippable cutscenes

[inland oasis]

Isn’t that also SP too?

Cuz ik the diff with worlds is it being mostly always online

But doesn’t have an official SP mode

[winter yew]

SP?

[inland oasis]

Singleplayer mode

Like worlds you HAVE to be playing online afaik. But you can solo

[winter yew]

ah

yeah it has SP

[inland oasis]

That’s nice tbh

[winter yew]

it has its own SP questline

village quests

runs up to 6*

[inland oasis]

I admit I like to cheat in games after I’ve beaten them for fun

[winter yew]

or 7

no 6

[inland oasis]

So singleplayer has replayability for me

[winter yew]

yeah its kinda short

[inland oasis]

Everyone’s always told me they’re all good but to go with worlds. So yea I just did. No reason against rise

[winter yew]

I want to do sunbreak, but i cant afford it

[inland oasis]

What’s the “newest” one lol

[winter yew]

Rise

Sunbreak is the expansion

[inland oasis]

Ohhhh wow

I had it backwards

[winter yew]

actually

idk

[inland oasis]

Lmao. 😂

I always thought iceborn was newest

Thus making worlds newest since that’s just dlc. But I never knew for certain

[winter yew]

i think its rise

[inland oasis]

Either way 🤷🏻

[winter yew]

when did iceborn come out

[inland oasis]

Also no idea 😂

[winter yew]

😆

[inland oasis]

2019

September

[winter yew]

Sunbreak 2023 June

[inland oasis]

Oh yea way newer then

Damn iceborn old af

No wonder it was bundled so cheap

[restive tusk]

not sure if you figured it out yet, but you should be able to switch your phone number between accounts just fine.
I used to do it on my alt account without issues

[tranquil glen]

Frostpunk is $6 on steam for sale!!!
(steampunk snowpocaplypse city survival)

[worldly vector]

this spirit build used to be really good but now its ass

[coarse swift]

good ole Skul

[orchid fox]

sony is now on a warpath with entire steam playerbase with this move

shit goin down from 0 to 100 in 48h

cant even see account link button on helldivers client lol

[mental rose]

Oh shit. I'm assuming that's a list of countries where HD2 is now delisted on Steam?

So Steam is apparently approving refunds for HD2, even if you've played more than 2 hours.

[orchid fox]

yes

blocked from half the earth

[orchid fox]

honestly i will keep the game cuz ive already linked my psn dou this is still not a good look

do i refund hmmmm

i have already linked my psn and will link it again in few weeks cuz tsushima multiplayer so prob not worth me refunding

but i expect a heavy amount of steam playerbase will refund

[worldly vector]

i wonder what prompted them to make such a decision

[coarse swift]

Didnt the devs of that just announce that it wont be required

[orchid fox]

i mean the psn required has been present on storepage since launch they just didnt enforce it for 1-3 months and actively paused it. its on the page and its players fault for not reading page special page

[orchid fox]

not required for singleplayer but for multiplayer as far as im aware? lemme check store page discord cuz dunno

[coarse swift]

Ghost of Tsushima has multiplayer?

[orchid fox]

yes

lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIf_hJCZyhQ

squad based ish

its the actual reason i bought the game

lol

was standalone on ps

[mental rose]

The fact they're suddenly delisting HD2 in a lot of countries, tells me all of this was not originally planned.
Or they just realized too late (like dum-dums) that PSN doesn't work in those countries.

[orchid fox]

most like 90% sure

lol

im not gonna refund as i have a psn and linked it but i hope the ones that got their region blocked on steam refund

theres so many on helldivers discord that want to play doesnt want to refund but their country is blocked so they cant

😦

[inland oasis]

Selling something someone can’t use is so scummy even if it says it in the store page. Especially so in this case when you can “bypass” it and play still back then. And now, just not at all, for some. That has to be grounds for a lawsuit somewhere

[orchid fox]

oh im not arguing if its justified or not its scummy 100%

it was stupid sony sold it there in the first place

[inland oasis]

Oh I just get curious as to where the blame falls on mostly. Obviously Sony, but steam STILL sold it too

[orchid fox]

i feel they just did damage control last second

[orchid fox]

i believe blame is on sony but wouldnt surprise me if steam gets flack for it

[inland oasis]

Steam openly allowed a product restricted by regions to be sold to those people that are restricted from it. Even IF they CAN, doesn’t mean steam is entitled to take advantage of that. At least to me

Sony obviously knows where they’re restricted from so either they really screwed up, lied to steam/gave them a wrong info description, or something, or, steam didn’t care

Worst case, all of it. No one cares and they did it all wrong 😂

They’re honoring the after 2h refunds tho

[orchid fox]

@inland oasis oh i agree its stupid of both parties but im pretty sure thats moderated by devs

im not refunding i already linked my account and all

[inland oasis]

I’m not refunding cuz to me it’s not an issue even

[orchid fox]

but i recon a fuck ton of players and big names will

me neither

[inland oasis]

Just a dumb implementation of it

[orchid fox]

its not an issue i have accs on all major platforms still a horrendously stupid move on sony AND steams part, even more stupid to fix it as damage control 3 months after release

[inland oasis]

I just feel really bad for the people who used to play and literally now can’t. They’re being drowned out by the people complaining for non issue reasons

[orchid fox]

ye 😦

[mental rose]

Which, again, makes this feel like a hasty afterthought.
Also I'm like 90% it's the publisher/devs responsibility to tick boxes and check what countries the game is allowed to be sold. Steam is just a distributor/display case, imo.

[inland oasis]

I genuinely believe an executive missed an email

And this occurred

[orchid fox]

wanna know what makes it worse? every cm of helldivers have deleted or protected their twitters. when ur game is in a literal community crisis community managers should not run and hide xd

[inland oasis]

Well they have to

Being threatened and all

It takes one person to take it too far

[orchid fox]

i mean i understand but still

[inland oasis]

Radio silence can be bad yea.

[orchid fox]

i still want their mental health and all

[inland oasis]

Think of it this way. They tried to put out the flames and accidentally dumped more gas on

They HAD to go silent

Lmao

Coincidentally after the apologies

[orchid fox]

i still agree that "sony account linking is purely 100% for banning reasons" and "we could yes, but linking sony accounts makes it easier to moderate" is bullshit heard of steam vac bans u have free power to do? its not on steam request basis xD

[inland oasis]

It totally is. It’s PR for “Sony daddy is making us.”

[orchid fox]

u have the free power to vac ban us from the game under any reasons thats not steams responsibility lol

[mental rose]

Don't quote me on this, but apparently the devs are siding with the players and are asking them to refund to put a squeeze on Sony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7-R1n9KoPw

[inland oasis]

I’m not saying that there weren’t issues but Everytime I play whether griefed or not, it’s hilarious. I never felt we needed some massive ban wave. But again, I play extremely casually

[orchid fox]

they are im actively reading that on the discord myself

[mental rose]

Ah

[inland oasis]

Devs want the negative reviews to use as ammo against Sony

[mental rose]

Ay yi yi...

[orchid fox]

the funny thing is "banwave for abuse and harrasment"

heard of mute toggle and blocking them and u will never hear or see their char in matchmaking ever again hm?

why the fuck do u wanna ban people for accidentally teamkilling with a turret or 500kg bomb which may be considered griefing in sonys eyes?

like i understand teamkilling for "reclaiming my samples" may be considered griefing but there is so much teamkilling by stray stratagems u will pretty much have to ban entire community if ur gonna ban anyone

[inland oasis]

Agreed determining griefing and actual accidental team killing is sometimes totally undetectable besides human eye

So we as players have the power to avoid it

You can have people intentionally grief and laugh about it too like friends

Goofin off

But no ban them right?

[orchid fox]

the game actually thrives in accidental team kills with stratagems and its comedic, i dont think anyone does it for malicious reasons

[inland oasis]

I always smack my fellow helldivers as were extracting at the pelican just to test there loyalty

😂😂

[orchid fox]

XD

like a true soldier o7

[mental rose]

See I expect them to shoot me, or just continue to get in. It’s when the little back n forth slap war starts that I thrive for

Like YES HE HIT ME BACK!

We’re friends now

[orchid fox]

but ye this is sony literally abusing powere NONE of the devs geniounly like the move they are forced upon them. even condoning downvoting the game to oblivion to give arrowhead power back

but its sony's owned ip so

[inland oasis]

Denying my hug?

-kicked

[mental rose]

What I would find funny, is that stratagems can't kill you, but they'll still send you flying.
Now add the wilhelm or Goofy's scream on top and voila 😁

[inland oasis]

I wish they switched the sticky/tracking of stratagems. Like the red ones track and stick to enemies.

[orchid fox]

uknow the planet modifier was removed that randomized stratagems?, ye that could turn a supply pod to a 500kg and kill u along with rest of the team lol

[inland oasis]

Tho I love the funny teamkills sticking a buddy with a sentry

Oopsie

[orchid fox]

ty @ max0r vid

[inland oasis]

Everyone’s mad about PSN but the real issue is “NERF HUNTERS”

Lmao 😂

[orchid fox]

i fucking hate the hunters and minihunters so bad xD

them along with stalkers

[inland oasis]

I wouldn’t mind them if they just couldn’t jump so fucking FAR

[orchid fox]

u cant fucking outrun stalkers xD

[inland oasis]

ITS RIDICULOUS

half a football field away

smack

[orchid fox]

they jump a football field by default xD

and headshot u with a cleave

[inland oasis]

And that damn ropetongue, slowing every hit

Oh you need to reload?? Hunter breathing intensifies

[orchid fox]

the fact the ai actively jumpdodge ur reticle line of sight is kinda infuriating tbh (in fact all ai does lol)

[orchid fox]

also that

[inland oasis]

That side strafe makes me want to end my controller sometimes

[orchid fox]

like the ai is coded so fucking unfair xD

[inland oasis]

Like how can you predict my infinitely random brain

STHAP

[orchid fox]

XD

ive been sometimes wanting to throw my mice into the wall tbh

[inland oasis]

“If I’d of shot a millisecond later” type thoughts

I’m pissed off now thinking about it 😂

[orchid fox]

lol

[orchid fox]

"how do u like ur own pvp mentality hooman" - hunter prob

sidestrafing = win

XD

[inland oasis]

The hunter deserves its own Boss room music

[orchid fox]

YES 100% xD

queues souls music as the unending horde approaches

cuz 20 breaches is approaching rapidly

[inland oasis]

I think what mentally infuriates me about them the most is that they just don’t LOOK like they should be so tough. Like

“You look like the little ugly cousin version of you, the one I wipe thousands off the planet of…BUT YOU …. What depth of hell have you come from?!?”

Being all boss like looking like a lvl 1 npc

[orchid fox]

XD

i dont have weapons to deal with all the incomming enemies in diffi 7-9 so i just gave up with super samples lol @inland oasis

and the one i liked arc thrower is prime ally killer

lol

[inland oasis]

I never play above challenging anyways. I goof off to much

The higher the difficulty the more toxicity 😂

[orchid fox]

i hate that arc thrower hard arcs to allies lol

[inland oasis]

Yeaaaaa fr

[mental rose]

The higher the difficulty, the greater the sweat.
And last one might as well be a sauna.

[orchid fox]

and its usually a onetap

lol

[inland oasis]

Or when the flamer clips thru the other side of the enemy

[orchid fox]

oh u stand in arc range
DED

“WHY AM I ON FIRE?!”

[orchid fox]

didnt they increase arc thrower arc range? lol

[inland oasis]

I never read the patches cuz I never felt the in game difference anyways

I still use the breaker shotgun 😅

[orchid fox]

they murdered my boi 😠

i hear slugger is decent now

[inland oasis]

They need to make a shotgun where “the harder you pump it the harder it hits!” 😂

Imma be the dude pumping the whole instance just to kill one titan 😂

[orchid fox]

i wish i could play remnant 2 dlc but the memory leak is back with the vengeance for the third launcyh in the games history

[inland oasis]

That reason actually kept me from getting it

Normally I say screw it but mem leaks are no joke

[orchid fox]

i cant even get 30 fps in player hub while idle :/Y

[inland oasis]

Constant degradation then too

[orchid fox]

not even having started dlc

and THAT IS ON POTATO ULTRA PERFORMANCE NO HIGH DETAIL SHADOWS

not even 30

[inland oasis]

Yikes

[orchid fox]

how

i have a 3070 and 12th gen intel i7

HOW

[inland oasis]

So memory leak, what’s it leaking into, and where’s it go? 😂 /j

[orchid fox]

i am way beyond specs for my native ress and cant even get 60 on lowest settings

while idle

[inland oasis]

1080p or 4k?

[mental rose]

That... actually reminds me.
Wasn't there malware that would actually siphon/drain your GPU to feed miners or smth way back?

[orchid fox]

for third time in games history memory leak is back and not fixed for some months prob

[mental rose]

Or am I imagining it...

[orchid fox]

1440p neither 1080 nor 4k @inland oasis

[inland oasis]

Ahh middle ground

Still then

[orchid fox]

i should still handle it cuz im above recommended for 1440p

[inland oasis]

Yea. I can run some games even at that, on low

With a gtx1660 😂

[mental rose]

Doesn't memory leak eventually crash your PC itself, if it gets bad enough during a session?

[orchid fox]

doesnt crash but get sub 20fps often mid combat no direct crashes

only ever had 2 crashes in games lifespan

[inland oasis]

It can most memory leaks lead to degradation to the point it doesn’t function. Every case differs

Should’ve installed flex seal.exe

[mental rose]

Ok, so it is as I understand it.
If OS runs out of memory to use, it bad

[inland oasis]

Yea I don’t know the technical part of it. Like why or how it happens

But I always assume it’s trying to use memory because something in the code won’t run, thus leaking the ram that’s being fed into it

[mental rose]

https://tenor.com/view/leak-leaks-flex-seal-flex-seal-gif-15158221

[inland oasis]

Instant 60fps

Like is a memory leak a literal hole in the code 😂

And that’s why they call them “patches” to fix it

[mental rose]

Hah!
If we're going by that logic, then bugfixes should be called "stomps"
Stomping out the bugs 😂

[inland oasis]

The only good bug is a dead bug!

Hotfixes involve the flamer

The HEAVY Flamer

[orchid fox]

I will check remnant 2 patch but doubt its fixed

u know the situation helldivers 2 going through it reminds me how lucky we are that hello games isnt acquired by anyone and are free

[inland oasis]

Kratos just casually taking a stroll in elden ring ^_^

[sleek cloud]

it's a scummy move for them to suddenly announce the required PSN account right at its peak when most have surpassed the 2 hour refund window

[glossy kestrel]

This is gona be fking nuts!! https://youtu.be/h8ve29HXIbU?si=fBsJg_7eEjNB5ABn

SteamDB (@SteamDB) on X

Helldivers 2 is no longer purchasable in 177 countries where PSN is not available (but some are still available like Baltics).

This game has now received 215,000 negative reviews.

cant wait to see how people defend this

[idle saffron]

Why would they?

But review bombing kills the developer, not the publisher

[quaint escarp]

i meant the region lock, review bombing usually gets fixed on steam if its blatantly false

idc about the reviews

[idle saffron]

They shouldn't have sold in those countries, or have a waiver for them

[quaint escarp]

this really sucks for arrowhead

[idle saffron]

Yeah

[quaint escarp]

sony just completely fucked over their success

from goty contender to whatever this is

[idle saffron]

Saw some speculation they were going this route because of their earnings report May 14th... lots of new PSN accounts would go over well - dunno how accurate that is

[quaint escarp]

sucks for anyone thats not online watching the media shitshow, imagine waking up wanting to play and now its disabled

ur just automatically going to blame the devs

[idle saffron]

Yep

[quaint escarp]

https://fxtwitter.com/Pilestedt/status/1787076609188483254?t=UYPXhqd4jmmtQtz2IUB_mQ&s=19

[idle saffron]

[inland oasis]

ouch

[idle saffron]

Imagine taking responsibility for your actions - Sony could learn something

[quaint escarp]

this sums it up

[idle saffron]

Oof

[sleek cloud]

VPN maybe?

[inland oasis]

iirc devs themselves were encouraging the negative reviews (with actual logical complaints) so they could use that as a conversation peice with sony. as they arent fond of it either obviously lol

[quaint escarp]

cant even vpn now steam disabled it for 171 regions

cant buy it

[sleek cloud]

oof

[quaint escarp]

Sony didnt region lock the game even tho they knew psn was a requirement

this is a publisher issue

[quaint escarp]

nah once those refunds start hitting then they care

[inland oasis]

steam also didnt help, but at least it "said" you need a third party account. though it not being at launch gave the wrong idea to people who didnt pay attention to it

[quaint escarp]

they dont care about reviews, refunds tho hit their bottom line

steam has it labeled as required, they had the skip option so people were confused

[inland oasis]

yea, and theyre at least attempting to honor refunds

[quaint escarp]

https://fxtwitter.com/Pilestedt/status/1787073896560165299?t=BipPhX0jMRGnNxyvlLOHcA&s=19

[inland oasis]

regardless of the 2 hrs

[quaint escarp]

hopefully they remove the requirement, the longer this takes the more goodwill is lost

[sleek cloud]

first Tarkov then Helldivers was like 'hold my beer'

[inland oasis]

yea, unless people realize its sony not arrow head, then arrowhead will get a ton of sympathy, but that wont pay bills xD

[quaint escarp]

tarkov deserves to crash and burn

[inland oasis]

it deserves to be "UNHEARD" of

[sleek cloud]

definitely smells of desperation

[quaint escarp]

arrowhead has been genuinely good and has communication with their players

[sleek cloud]

after Arena was a massive flop

[quaint escarp]

it smells like greedy executives

[inland oasis]

200+$ for another new edition of the game....for pve access. fucking joke.

[quaint escarp]

theres always a few suits that pitch the most idiotic things

[inland oasis]

i used to have SPT tarkov before i got banned xD

[sleek cloud]

it's the P2W s**t that comes with it too

[inland oasis]

was worth it

[quaint escarp]

pve coop isnt dlc

[inland oasis]

in minimum, its a base game mechanic

[sleek cloud]

not when the game is still in its development stages lol

[rotund cosmos]

Still in dev stages, but charges $200??

[sleek cloud]

should have just released more fancy skins and whatnot for people to buy

[quaint escarp]

any company that sells a all future dlc pack then adds something major that isnt included is scummy

[inland oasis]

mhm ^_^ even after people already bought the 150$ EOD edition 😄

kick in the balls

[rotund cosmos]

This reeks of Star Citizen

[sleek cloud]

iirc no content is locked behind a paywall in SC right?

[inland oasis]

nope. u can buy ships for real money iirc tho

[rotund cosmos]

Unless that fits your description of content behind paywalls, which fits mine

[inland oasis]

but its not behind a wall

u can literally get it in game too

just open the door

[rotund cosmos]

Oh, the wall is easily accessible how nice. Just pay $250 for a ship

[inland oasis]

or play the game....and earn it...?

for ....free

[rotund cosmos]

How long does that take?

[inland oasis]

i mean, people share currency

i got star citizen

and now have 2m from a friend like that

[quaint escarp]

arent there $10k ships

[inland oasis]

yea

lmao theres aggregious prices

[sleek cloud]

point is, it's not like Tarkov where there is no other option BUT to pay for the content to get it

[inland oasis]

the 890 jump i think its called was a crazy expensive one

[quaint escarp]

they are both scummy practices and i womt support either

[inland oasis]

its like a yacht spaceship

[rotund cosmos]

It fits my definition

Also in perpetual development

[inland oasis]

i think i have a new fave emote XD

[rotund cosmos]

I loathe it. It's the wrong cymbal sound

[mental rose]

Badum-tsh

[inland oasis]

yea its a open cymbal rather than closed xD

[mental rose]

Not even Wildcard was this egregious with ARK, years ago 😄

They only sold DLC during early access period

[inland oasis]

or, backwards. i think?

[mental rose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv8GeBt56Fs

[rotund cosmos]

I havent found 1 cymbal that sounds similar to it

I don't think it's a cymbal at all that made the sound

[inland oasis]

u mean the in game one right?

cuz thats more of a tambourine

[rotund cosmos]

Yeah

[mental rose]

Pretty sure this one tops everything in the game currently. 😄
