Looks like Arrowhead might be moving forward with PSN despite “internal discussions”.

    We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had hype. We had a great PR. We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. You could’ve shut your shareholders up, sat back and have arrowhead make as much money on sales and micro transactions you ever wanted. It was perfect. But, no, you just had to fuck it up! You and your greed and your advertisers! You just had to want more money for advertising. If you’d done your job as a publisher, known your place among the players, Helldivers 2 would be fine right now and would have been the best damn live service currently being offered.

    A good move, but a move that would have been a lot more appropriate before the game launched in the first place.

      No, it makes sense to not release AT ALL in those areas if you knew from the beginning they were going to lose the ability to play. This is indefensible.

    What a terrible mess that would have been solved by blocking the purchase from countries without PSN from the beginning and through better communications…

      The whole thing is a crap show from the start. I mean selling to places Sony knew couldn’t get a PSN account, putting PSN as optional for months, and then making it mandatory after all of this was just a hellbomb waiting to explode.

      They should have just left it as optional and disabled cross play of you didn’t in my opinion.
