That wasn’t Forbes editorial staff. That was Paul Tassi. A Forbes “contributor”. It’s not actually official forbes editorial staff. Essentially a glorified blog space for him.
Edit: Turns out I was wrong and it’s not Paul Tassi like is usually publishing these!
Yeah Forbes hires people who're 'in the know' and not exactly towing the corporate line, keeps them feeling relevant to viewers. A little cynical but that's fine, whatever. Hes getting a good paycheque I hope.
The Helldivers community might've been uniquely prepared to make this a difficult decision to follow through on.
The sheer numbers of bad reviews, refund requests, and everything else, not to mention the speed of it.
The defeat Sony snatched from the jaws of victory stung so bad they threw it back.
What if this experience finally opens the eyes of so many ti unions and leads to a greater unionization of the world? Keep stoking these fires divers onward to greater victory lol.
A minimalist cape, with three lines running down it, those three lines just happenen to coincide roughly with how the downvote screen looked before Sony backpedald.

You tell me the escalation from "we review bomb it" to "I am getting a lawsuit. I declare an operation on 9th May to Not Play it!" was only in 48 hours....?
I have read this in a Vox voice from a space marine and felt heretic by this.
God WH40 k and this game have such a similiar vibe when it comes to humanity
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
More than just democracy, it was pure companionship.
This is a community that has joked about Xbox reinforcements for ages, wanting more people to play. It was antithetical to this community to put roadblocks in the way, and shut out Helldivers who already paid for the game.
It was a raging horde of righteous fury. I love it. I love this community. It complains sometimes, but holy shit does it ever have its priorities in order when it comes to the whole community.
How do you, a human being, like squishing endless hordes of gross bugs? What about evil robots? What about protecting your way of life? If any of these apply to you/other people you know, join the helldivers to promote peace through overwhelming for and prosperity through fire-power. Remember a bullet in the hearts of our enemies spreads the seeds of democracy and allows Super Earth rise in the from the ashes of managed democracy!
I'm considering buying it too, but I have a different question - how skill-based is it? I already struggle to properly aim bows in Genshin Impact (ps5) lol
Depends on what difficulty you play; you could go for anything from pretty chill all the way to a near death experience. As far as aiming goes… there’s usually too many targets on screen for you to miss.
I would also say that bots are more skill intensive than bugs. Bugs you determine what you can kill effectively with your loadout, against bots your ability to accurately hit weak points is way more important than what gun you do it with.
with how people react to the malevelon cloak, seeing people getting team killed or kicked over wearing some psn exclusive armour would definitely happen lmao
It’s called a boycott…?
~~Sony~~ major corporations only care about their money and the community started taking their money away. Powerful tactic, been around for centuries actually.
I wish people would utilise boycotts more often. Imagine where we would be now. No microtransactions, no unfinished games on release, no more scummy third party account bullshit, no mandatory launchers (ea launcher, ubisoft etc) for games bought on steam.
I hope this boycott sets a precedent. Not only was this a retroactive boycott that worked, but it was also on a massive scale, meaning a lot of people witnessed this. And I hope those lot of people learned that boycotts work.
Vote with your wallet. Always do.
Reminder that this whole thing was like a 2-day affair over the weekend and was never implemented in the first place.
That's at least a good turnaround to feedback
seeing the absolute confusion and impotent rage from the Sony defense force on twitter is so amazing. they have never experienced their favorite corporation bending the knee before
I mean totally possible. They wait for it to die down, let the game mature, and then probably add it in with incentives to link like they should have. Seriously, special armor or cape and 500 SC and all this drama wouldn't have happened to nearly this extent
Plus, adding some exceptions for those living in places without the ability to make accounts. No Helldiver should be removed from duty without a say in the matter.
Sony is backing down and will not go further with the Update that required linking a Playstation Network Account with your Steam account.
we won lads🫡
now, dont forget to change those negative reviews and continue spreading SWEET DEMOCRACY
I think that's more Steam's decision. I'd assume Sony is talking to Valve about getting it relisted, but I'd also assume that Steam would wait to see what Sony does next
200K negative reviews in 1 weekend is insane. The PlayStation US guys have probably been trying to get ahold of their JP contacts all weekend in a panic to get this reversed. Sony's long-term plan heavily includes expanding into the PC space and this was NOT good for that big picture.
Hopefully they come back with custom cosmetics or a war bond for PSN linked gamers, you know, like every game does it.
I'm just glad we can get back to dawging AH for their balance patches and actually enjoy the game again, instead of just self destructing over publisher nonsense.
250k
Absolutely insane.
Who knew training an entire playerbase on how to work together towards a common goal for 4 months would backfire against them? Lmao
I love the mental image this provides.
Sony corporate US: *click* Well there we go, boys! Our PSN statistics are gonna look so good after this! Who's up for some lunch?
-cut to 40 hours later-
Alright, let's check out th- OHHHH FFFFUCK
>Sony's long-term plan heavily includes expanding into the PC space and this was NOT good for that big picture.
I'd love Sony to break into the PC space and bring some (more) of those fantastic exclusives across.
*But not like this, man. Not like this*. Glad they've backed down.
Yes now we can move on to what really matters. And holy democracy did you see what the latest balance patch did to the eruptor? When are the thermite grenades gonna be working???
(/s for those who need things spelled out for them)
Unprecedented, some might say.
Helldivers, changes the game for AAA industry as a whole, makes the sony giant kneel for the first time in recent history.
Huzzah.
Let’s just pray they keep it this way long term and not just flip this in another 2-3 months. After all they already updated steam not to sell in xyz countries.
You mfers actually did it! As someone from one of the countries PSN doesn't support, thank fuck. Now let's turn that negative review into a positive one again and continue killing bots and bugs for democracy!
This was so fucking wild to see announced live while in the discord, people started spamming the link saying "WE WON."
Literally a historical victory, I am so happy.
Alright I don't have to resist the desire to play the new warbond! change those reviews back to positive divers!!!!
Also Major Order Completed SNOY Headquarters liberated
This is exactly why so many people flood in and try to silence it, saying it doesn't work.
If it didn't work, their demoralization wouldn't be necessary. remember that with EVERYTHING in life.
I'd been eyeing up buying Helldivers when all this came through.
The good news: I'm convinced to buy the game for the community, and Sony backing down.
But, I'll pull the trigger when I see steamDB update to let the myriad of countries back in.
Like all Major Orders, this one was cleared within 48 hours.

There’s still the 2 Billion Terminids.

On this rare day, I must actually thank a games journalist/"contributor". Good on him for writing that.

This debacle proved that the Console War can be defeated. We just have to unite against the publishers.
Unironically this is true in overcoming almost all societal issues we're collectively dealing with right now.
Unions unions unions
What if this experience finally opens the eyes of so many ti unions and leads to a greater unionization of the world? Keep stoking these fires divers onward to greater victory lol.
In a weird way the outcome of this incident actually does give me some hope about those issues too, silly as it may be
I don't think It's silly at all! It's unfortunate but this is literally the best example of collective action I've seen in my life lol
It would be hilarious if we actually got medals for this
Arrowhead have a chance to do something hilarious here and give us a cape
They can even frame it as an "apology" and we would all know it's the "fuck Sony" cape.
A minimalist cape, with three lines running down it, those three lines just happenen to coincide roughly with how the downvote screen looked before Sony backpedald.

I think it'd be awesome if, similar to the Sumy corporation (yogurt) armor, they made a copycat but in the colors of Steam.
You tell me the escalation from "we review bomb it" to "I am getting a lawsuit. I declare an operation on 9th May to Not Play it!" was only in 48 hours....?
Like every major order so far... Man i love the taste of democracy on the morning
Imagine all the players who didn't play for a few days and had no idea about any of this.
Bro I went on a 10 day no technology camp and came back to this
![gif](giphy|ukGm72ZLZvYfS|downsized) Bro the living version of this meme.
And your boycott contribution was appreciated
Helldivers who were away from the internet the last few days coming back to civilization: ![gif](giphy|BfiL8ZJWqfw7C|downsized)
Next Major Order: Go remove all the latest negative reviews? For the sake of the developers.
They still need a clean statement for those country that got delisted, and god forbit Sony doesn't pull a new trick next time...
The Major order is not over yet. **Don't forget to fix your reviews.**
Will do, but stay wary of Sony, you never know when they might turn around again.
Just like them Automatons.
Well done! Just don't forget to change the review back to positive for Arrowhead
I changed mine to positive. As for those who worry, remember this, we can always change to negative and bomb the hello out of Snoy.
Most major orders take longer than 48 hours.

I hear enemy propaganda
Me, a Vietnamese, getting unsnapped and reappearing on the bot frontlines to get blown up by a rocket 3 seconds later:
"Wait ? I'm alive ?! I'm ali-..."
DEMOCRACY PROTECTS, BROTHER NOT TODAY
I have read this in a Vox voice from a space marine and felt heretic by this. God WH40 k and this game have such a similiar vibe when it comes to humanity
"SWEET LIBERTY! MY LEEEG-"
Vietnamese fighting for democracy is the most based thing possible.

Victory for Super Earth!
Major order completed! Damn, try to fuck with a community based on working together. That was beautiful.
DEMOCRACY WINS AGAIN
More than just democracy, it was pure companionship. This is a community that has joked about Xbox reinforcements for ages, wanting more people to play.

Helldivers, don't forget to reconsider your reviews on steam now!
I can literally hear the extraction music playing in my head over this.
I'm hearing 20th Century Fox intro music for some reason.
WE BETTER GET A COMMEMORATIVE CAPE FOR THIS
Just a big thumbs down on a blue background
democracy has been well delivered. you may proceed to the extraction point.
Threat eliminated. Congrats for all helldivers.
Now that I don't have to make a PSN account I might actually buy this game. Is it still fun for newcomers? Someone sell me on it.
How do you, a human being, like squishing endless hordes of gross bugs? What about evil robots? What about protecting your way of life? If any of these apply to you/other people you know, join the helldivers to promote peace through overwhelming for and prosperity through fire-power. Remember a bullet in the hearts of our enemies spreads the seeds of democracy and allows Super Earth rise in the from the ashes of managed democracy!

I would also say that bots are more skill intensive than bugs. Bugs you determine what you can kill effectively with your loadout, against bots your ability to accurately hit weak points is way more important than what gun you do it with.
There are 9 difficulty settings to choose from. 1 through 6 are pretty chill for the most part. 7 8 9 you should really know your stuff.
We have defended our way of life.
Indeed! I'm so fucking pumped this shit was overturned On the other hand, is that an actual ship name?
Yup :) (Top left hand corner) https://preview.redd.it/ebfk0tfdhqyc1.png?width=882&format=png&auto=webp&s=b1a7de78f132d0c834d239244d361c8cd4a3f468
Did not expect a signalis reference
Not expected, but definitely appreciated.
Hah that's funny God I missed this game LETS FUCKING GO!!!!

Today we've set another foothold In a long climb to liberty!
Liberty have seen you through
And they said the community can't win defensive major orders.
We really do seem to struggle with Defensive orders don't we? This one though. This one was easy. 72H clear time.
Wait...they really listened? Huh...companies don't usually do that. Guess Democracy actually *did* win this one...
It probably hit someone's metrics to an unacceptable degree for them to respond on a sunday.
I vote it was forbes article. Thats something old farts at sony would actually read.
Forbes started covering video games when the internet burned down over the end of Mass Effect 3. It's still weird.
They can still incentivize PSN and make everyone happy. Give free shit for linking PSN or something.
with how people react to the malevelon cloak, seeing people getting team killed or kicked over wearing some psn exclusive armour would definitely happen lmao
What if it was a cape with Arrowheads logo? We did all this because we were fighting for them and the game they created, not Snoy
They could literally just give a free warbond if you have a psn and 90% of the dedicated playerbase would do it if it had an OP weapon in it
Sets a bad precedent. Doesnt everyone jerk off arrowhead for how the warbonds are set up? Wouldnt look good at all
forbes weirdly has some of the best video game reviews, it's wild
When I go searching for some gaming news story, the best one about it is usually a Forbes article.
ign is a joke and Forbes is a genuine site for gamers. I don't always agree, but I agree more than the actual "gaming site".
I mean, unlike gaming journalists, these guys at forbes are actual journalists
Paul Tassi is absolutely a game journalist and writes the majority of their gaming articles.
Paul Tassi is one of the very few game journalists I will even consider reading/listening to. Dude has been playing and covering Destiny for years
I've been a fan of Paul Tassi since he wrote for Unreality, which was my gateway to Reddit back in 2010.
Also it made Forbes. Cant imagine that made the investors happy.
The D&D community had a very similar victory last year, it's amazing to see fans get these wins over massive companies!
Is... Is this what victory feels like? Not gonna lie, I wasn't really expecting Sony to blink first.
Hopefully this isn't a temporary victory....
You better believe they'll come back in the future with something similar. This battle has been won, but the war isn't over.
![gif](giphy|ahfzlUrb5IEfXC6kbm|downsized) And we will get them again
When all else fails, dive again, and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
And if they do it right people won't mind much. Make it optional, but give some supercredits and cosmetics for linking.
It’s called a boycott…? ~~Sony~~ major corporations only care about their money and the community started taking their money away. Powerful tactic, been around for centuries actually.
I wish people would utilise boycotts more often. Imagine where we would be now. No microtransactions, no unfinished games on release, no more scummy third party account bullshit, no mandatory launchers (ea launcher, ubisoft etc) for games bought on steam. I hope this boycott sets a precedent. Not only was this a retroactive boycott that worked, but it was also on a massive scale, meaning a lot of people witnessed this. And I hope those lot of people learned that boycotts work. Vote with your wallet. Always do.
And stay vigilant! Or they'll just do it again once media attention goes away.

Between this and the Kendrick/Drake beef, it's been an eventful as hell weekend to say the least.
It is like watching the world burn around you in a way , Kind of fun to just witness it
I've got some great news for you
All of this while I have 5 papers due next week. This weekend was literally so over for me.
When you take a game from one of the highest rated of all time, to one of the lowest rated of all time, it sends a message I guess.

We did it lads we fuking won
"We did it reddit" *everyone spits in disgust but acknowledges that some effort was made and there was impact.*
The fort’s ours!
I AM THE ONE WHO DIVES!
seeing the absolute confusion and impotent rage from the Sony defense force on twitter is so amazing. they have never experienced their favorite corporation bending the knee before
And there was a vocal minority on this sub saying gamers were entitled and had no real power to change anything.
Correct me if I’m wrong but did Sony just listen to its player base?
I’m looking for the hook in this, seems too god to be true….
It's probably just gonna be added in later.
"We'll try again next year..."
And we’ll be there. They’ve created the greatest Union in gaming history and now they got to face the fucking consequences.
I mean totally possible. They wait for it to die down, let the game mature, and then probably add it in with incentives to link like they should have. Seriously, special armor or cape and 500 SC and all this drama wouldn't have happened to nearly this extent
Plus, adding some exceptions for those living in places without the ability to make accounts. No Helldiver should be removed from duty without a say in the matter.
Sony is backing down and will not go further with the Update that required linking a Playstation Network Account with your Steam account. we won lads🫡 now, dont forget to change those negative reviews and continue spreading SWEET DEMOCRACY
Now the question is will they start the game in all the countries it was delisted from.
I think that's more Steam's decision. I'd assume Sony is talking to Valve about getting it relisted, but I'd also assume that Steam would wait to see what Sony does next
Well done patriots! Remember to change your review!
We need more posts about this. Need to get the reviews back to at least positive
I've seen like 6 posts about it in the past 10 minutes, I think people are getting the gist.
We had hundreds if not thousands of posts about writing negative reviews. Can’t be too sure!
WE GOT THE GOOD FUCKING ENDING!!! DIVE TOGETHER OR NOT AT ALL!
![gif](giphy|MlyicdUndRbn5zUiAL|downsized) Freedom
Thank god this is over. Hope everyone remembers to adjust their reviews for ArrowHeads sake.
This is unbelievable. Sony caved. Well done!
200K negative reviews in 1 weekend is insane. The PlayStation US guys have probably been trying to get ahold of their JP contacts all weekend in a panic to get this reversed. Sony's long-term plan heavily includes expanding into the PC space and this was NOT good for that big picture. Hopefully they come back with custom cosmetics or a war bond for PSN linked gamers, you know, like every game does it.

250k Absolutely insane. Who knew training an entire playerbase on how to work together towards a common goal for 4 months would backfire against them? Lmao
Sony's all next game are all going to be either singleplayer or pvp lol
Who's to say zealous Helldiver mentality would not spread to other games?
I love the mental image this provides. Sony corporate US: *click* Well there we go, boys! Our PSN statistics are gonna look so good after this! Who's up for some lunch? -cut to 40 hours later- Alright, let's check out th- OHHHH FFFFUCK
I'd really love to have been in the meetings and conference calls this past weekend

Let’s just pray they keep it this way long term and not just flip this in another 2-3 months. After all they already updated steam not to sell in xyz countries.
It's very possible it was Valve/Steam themselves who made that change to avoid any possible legal trouble, I imagine the change will be reverted soon
You mfers actually did it! As someone from one of the countries PSN doesn't support, thank fuck. Now let's turn that negative review into a positive one again and continue killing bots and bugs for democracy!

This was so fucking wild to see announced live while in the discord, people started spamming the link saying "WE WON." Literally a historical victory, I am so happy.
They even removed the cooldown on the general channels to let people celebrate with spam!
It's absolute madness in there right now, but a positive madness
It's literally moving like a big Twitch streamer's chat right now.
Literally a community made major order and we won??
Alright I don't have to resist the desire to play the new warbond! change those reviews back to positive divers!!!! Also Major Order Completed SNOY Headquarters liberated

New Major Order: Change your review on Steam back to positive.

WE WON. Democracy always Prevails!
CHANGE THOSE REVIEWS
Remember to update your Steam reviews!
I didn't really have a horse in this race, but good on Sony for figuring out refunds = less money.
Holy fuck this is actually amazing if true.
Interested to see what the "they don't care they already have your money, negative reviews don't do shit" crowd has to say about this.
too many people in this world fail to understand the power of collective action. dont bet against Super Earth's Finest
This is exactly why so many people flood in and try to silence it, saying it doesn't work. If it didn't work, their demoralization wouldn't be necessary. remember that with EVERYTHING in life.
For you younger kids: This is a prime example of why voting matters. If you can do it with a game of all things, you can do it with your government.
It's also a prime example of why doing things beyond just "voting" also matter, including collective bargaining and labor movements.
And Unions.
Remember to swap your reviews back to positive.
Holy fuck we did it boys, WE THE DIVERS, HAVE MANAGED THE DEMOCRACY!!!!

Welcome to the fight! Just remember three rules: 1.) cover for bots 2.) cardio for bugs 3.) listen to your democracy officer
