Y’all, Helldivers 2 is just so much fun. I would not have assumed at the beginning of 2024, just after completing Baldur’s Gate 3, that I would be championing an always online squad shooter - but this game is just so damn enjoyable. Furthermore, the community has been so engaged and invested in the spirit of liberty that it’s made me prioritize a style of game that I thought I had mostly left in my past.

Now we’re in the middle of this huge nonsense with PSN and it has completely sucked all the air out of the room. I understand why people are upset and I don’t agree with the shit that Sony is trying to pull. I just want to keep this magic going.

I don’t have much to say other than try to maintain some empathy for Arrowhead, as this seems to be out of their hands. They genuinely seem to want to just make a kick-ass game.

Keep up the good work Helldivers.

    Hey guys, I bet I could launch the game, alt tab out, and have a PS account created and ready before the you-have-entered-your-ship animations are done playing.

      …except in all of the countries that you could buy the game in that you cannot make a PSN account in

        This is a reasonable point of protest

      I bet I could Uninstall the game before your game minimized, in fact I did it yesterday and it took all of 2 seconds.

        :) Dang, I had to create an Ubisoft account to play Anno 2070 too. Those fuckers.
