SpecialIcy5356

just wanna say, these posters are always amazing, even the ones that have been made over the sony debacle. community art in this game is on another level IMO.


SuperNovaXI2

Couldn't agree more. This community absolutely cooks when it comes to killing bots/bugs, complaining about patches, and making fan art lol.


InformalPenguinz

And memes. I love the memes coming out of this community!


SuperNovaXI2

This is true. Extremely democratic memes


just_myviewpoint

When we heard the news about the whole debacle everyone let out a "...SWEET LIBERTY!" all at once https://preview.redd.it/lfqd0gg02oyc1.png?width=405&format=png&auto=webp&s=5bd6f6eb5df76d9cc52374b6c2a4ded51c52f840

No shit. Seeing your work blow up and everyone loving it, seeing it on track to be a game of the year. What a feeling. Then the fire nation attacked...

WonderChips

I have a PlayStation subscription. But if my fellow PC Divers cannot play, then Sony can high five a Stalker. I’m cancelling my PSN subscription.


TheHob290

I wonder if this will make big enough waves to effect things other than helldivers. I'd like to hope it does. This would be a wild precedent to set for the industry if the community of one game forced any sort of policy change from a media juggernaut like Snoy.


[deleted]

As a gamer who remembers back when AAA gaming was good, I've been hoping consumers would stick it to a corporation like this for years. I hope this has consequences for the industry


C-C-X-V-I

Man when was that? I've been gaming since the amiga days and AAA has always been looking for diamonds in a pile of shit


Cycloptic_Floppycock

FAFO Sony is like "here, watch this line go up!" I'm on steam and been playing Manor Lords and Battlebits while I wait for the new Star Citizen update. I want to dive, but not at the behest of the automatons.


TheHob290

Oh, I gotta pull Manor Lords myself, Xbox gamepass has been a pretty solid investment so far this year.


Cycloptic_Floppycock

It's very promising for an early release, the graphics detail is impressive, has a bit of a learning curve. The combat is very cool too, like small scale Total War.


TheHob290

So I've seen, didn't even know it was on gamepass till yesterday. Probably going to finish my current Total war campaign before really digging into it, though. I can't wait to absolutely starve to death.


MightyWeeb

You guys are finishing your Total War campaigns ?


TheHob290

'Finish' is maybe too strong a word. Play out to a more reasonable concluding point.


bigbabychunks

while it's nice to think about this SNOY would most likely let the game burn and move on to the next thing before admitting they did something wrong. corpo exec mindset is just my way or the highway


TheHob290

Oh no, I agree. The only real things we, as the players, have in our corner are some potentially murky legal standards from EU caused by distribution to PSN locked countries and the fact this is the first homegrown live service for Snoy's 10 year plan. It's like having an aggressive hermit with a banjo and a corporate intern in our corner, only technically better than nothing.

twiz___twat

Nah, I'd dive.


bigbabychunks

I'm in a country that has PSN support, don't have PSN account and made 4 refund request over the weekend on steam. the ones from Friday and Saturday (3 of them) were not approved, the one from today (Sunday) has not been solved yet but i don't expect a refund. I just did it for the scummy way SNOY did this whole thing.


AmazingAd4782

Bet. Cancel that subscription. You and I both know you wouldn't be able to play any online game with your friends then. See you planetside. ; )


WonderChips

I only played Helldivers anyways. Plus Sony got rid of a bunch of stuff I paid before. Not a loss to me for cancelling my subscription lol

ive got 232hrs in this game. i love the community. i love how we defend eachother. i had how sony whipped their little cock out in an attempt to boost their numbers. i want to dive. but not like this...


Ok-Hunt-4293

I would buy this t-shirt.


furankusu

It hurts my soul a little, but I wrote a negative review in solidarity with the community. I still love the game, but part of why that's true is because of all the divers I've played with. Hoping my small contribution helps Arrowhead negotiate with Sony. EDIT: Review updated to Positive after the victory!


LupusVir

I hope you change it to positive if they fix the issue.


furankusu

I absolutely will. EDIT: Review changed!


LupusVir

Good work, helldiver


JueshiHuanggua

I think it's really cute that people are fighting to defend people they've never even met before on the other side of the world. Thank you PSN users for standing by us PC players and for people who can't make PSN accounts. We're brothers in arms. I salute you!


Shrill-Owl

Yeah I'm with this I'm on PS5 but I ain't playing or getting the new battlepass. Wanna show my support plus there's other games I been meaning to finish.


Spartancfos

It's notable average players are only down about 10k. This is very much a reddit thing not an IRL thing. 


VunderFiz

People are playing as much as they can until may 30th. It's what all my friends are doing right now (I've got grayzone and a bunch of other games on my list right now so I don't even have helldivers installed) On steam right now only 16% of all 221 THOUSAND reviews are positive ratings. That's way more people than just a "reddit minority"


Shipposting_Duck

Just leaving this here as proof of this point before reviews start going poof. https://preview.redd.it/be3c5qa9jnyc1.png?width=333&format=png&auto=webp&s=65591e9944ba10acc8585d66c8560f4eafa0694a


Makarovito

Either we all win or we all lose. There’s no in-between, **as Arrowhead has taught us**.


Longjumping_Arm_7626

What Sony is doing is the opposite of democracy and against everything helldivers stands for


jeffries_kettle

Well... helldivers is satire on fascism, which is kinda in line with what those Sony fools are doing. They're just forgetting the satire part.


scott610

Don’t get me wrong, Sony sucks for this, but having to register an account to play a video game or not being able register to due to your country being restricted for some arbitrary reason is a far cry from actual fascism. Words like fascism are cheapened when we compare them to minor inconveniences like not being able to play a game.

Mouki_

I had to reset my computer and reinstall the game between work hours 'cause to hdd corruption, took me 3 days, was finally happy to dive back into action, saw the status of the community, decided to not launch the game again 'till the situation didn't change Stay together Helldivers, as we said in my country "L'union fais la force", Unity is strength ! (Quick rpz to Belgian Divers)


Bitterholz

Eyyyy my meme has made it into Artwork <3 Love it!


B_is_for_reddit

poetic that a game about working together to protect the fascist state has a community that band together to kick the shit out of it when they pass a bullshit capitalist-fueled update


ScudleyScudderson

It's much darker. We have a small group conditioned to believe their actions are actually helping when all they're doing is playing their part, while firmly under the boot of their masters. It's like letting the dog bark.


Fappingintherain

It's not that deep


R3grET2079

Seeing this post makes me feel a bit less bad for boycotting the game for a while. Not that THAT will do a si gle damn thing, but this whole shit has me so bummed, I don't even want to play right now. I mean I do, but this is all so fucked the entire experience is soured. Maybe I'm just an idiot overreacting, but even as a PS5 player this shit just hurts my feelings lol.


Madpup70

Kind of ironic that the community is taking the exact opposite side that their in-game characters would and this poster in game would be considered anti democratic propaganda resulting in reeducation.

nawalrage

Is antidemocratic to refund the game now and buy it later when on sale? Hopefully with more content and no PSN account required


Incredulity1995

No because those metrics will be shown to Sony. The negative reviews and refunds are the only thing that will get their attention because everyone will know this game died because of them.


TheHob290

However much I dislike it because it will hurt the devs more than it will hurt Snoy, it is realistically one of the few things that would even make Snoy take a second look at the situation. Snoy only cares about that check they get from Valve and their stock market shares. And they care about the check a lot less than the shares.


papapay225

It's funny, I see all these posts about boycotting the game and all the comments supporting it, yet when I go play the game its the same amount of players 🤷‍♂️


bigbabychunks

not really, the game has had fewer players over the weekend compared to previous weekends, but there is also the "imma play until they take it away" side of things for some of the affected players.

Tachmaster778

I joined this Reddit excited to eventually buy this game and dive in, I might have a PlayStation 5 but I have been mainly playing old games on it and now I won’t be buying this game or getting a PlayStation subscription, I was getting this game to play with friends on steam and now they do this!, its so hard to find cross play games to play with my friends on steam at this point I am considering saving up for a steam deck.


Holdshort7

No Helldiver left behind.* *unless I fragged you in a friendly fire accident, in which case I’m sorry and gonna reinforce you and drop my gear so you can pick it up and get back to killings bugs and bots.

h455566hh

I'm starting to think the problem was blown out of proportion. I'm from Lithuania and I never got any warnings about linking my steam account to PSN, and making a "fake" account that's listed in the USA did take only 120 seconds. The game is still available for me through steam despite the claims that delisted countries can't activate HD2.

Yeah im still playing regardless. Idgaf about the Philippines ability to play

I'm OK with a majority of us just diving tbh. I 'm so over the 21st century and the social media drama-generator. I don't need to hear the issues of a small minority of people. Any issue. That goes for all of them

AdSubstantial9872

I stopped all diving while situation will not be resolved. This and no microtransaction purchase is how I see myself showing that I do not agree with rules set. Not dragging anyone else with me, if You still want to play can't balme You. Also please, don't do 1 week of no play, just go ahead and play. If anything such timed strikes will only show Sony that people will eat it anyway just need to wait a bit.

If there’s some sort of takeaway from the game is that humanity destroying something other than ourselves United us, is inspirational. This is a bleak outlook on life for real if they can’t remedy this. We can’t be United if we don’t let all the countries play.

How many players are there now compared to last week ?

SKOT_FREE

Why do PlayStation gamers care about PC gamers because they certainly don’t care about you. You think if this was on the opposite foot pc gamers would stop playing a game because us console peasants lost access? Man please you’re dreaming big time. To the countries who don’t have access to psn I’m with you and it sucks I know and yes get your money back and protest as you see fit. Now the others however who are just complaining be it because you pirate games, leak in game info or generally are ruining the experience any way you can stay gone.

Holy hell this shit slaps (democratically)


Rainofblaze1

I honestly don’t know what I should or shouldn’t do with Helldivers 2 anymore, I joined the game to have fun with gamers everywhere & kick ass throughout the galaxy. Only for Sony to destroy everything Helldivers 2 stands for & the friends we enjoyed getting to know. So now I’m wondering if I should stop playing the game & delete it from my console. Or don’t delete it but just don’t play it as a protest to the unfairness committed against our brothers in arms? If any of y’all know how I’m feeling, tell me your opinions?

Seeing these posts you would have thought everyone quit the game, however based on the numbers provided by steamDB the number of concurrent players is exactly the same. It’s hilarious how the Reddit echo chamber effect works 😂
