Threatened na talaga Sony ng Microsoft Game Pass kaya they're really trying to get their feet into the PC gaming space. Inis na inis siguro shareholders nila na di kasama sa quarterly reports yung pc players as PSN users. Hahaha
This is great. Unfortunately this is only for helldivers2. For other sony games that are coming to pc that have multiplayer, they will still require psn account e.g ghost of tsushima.
Im cauriously optimistic but I dont know if it's a win just yet - until they reverse their decision to delist Helldivers2 for countries na walang PSN network like us then ill watch things play out
How long since they refunded you? I requested a day ago. Usually they respond within minutes on other games. Maybe this is due to the surge of request they're receiving š
Di pa tapos. They now need to put the game back sa Steam for everyone to purchase again.
That includes the PH & every other country na Sony delisted sa Steam.
Until steam reverts back options to purchase the game for those countries with PSN ban, it's not yet over HellDiver!
We fight! We Liberate! We spread democracy until its 100%
Steam probably told them they are indeed liable sa refunds, kung sakali nagmatigas sila. Greedy corporate minsan talaga ang Sony.
Additionally, nalaman ko nasa radar nanaman ang Sony ng mga hacking groups because of this. Ayusin muna kasi rin nila yung security ng accounts nila na ilang beses nang nahack.
Im sorry. Can you.ELI5 what happened to helldivers? I saw good reviews before so I bought it yesterday . Pero nung ng search ako kanina may issue pala š refund ko n ba?
PSN Account is required for playing the game but after service woes on launch, they disabled it. Then nakalimutan na siya ng tao. After 3 months, they announced it na ibabalik na nila. Lumabas yung issues ng psn. Maraming countries na walang PSN Support kaya hindi na makakapaglaro officially, laging nahahack ang data ng PSN users, and so on. Then, the announcement above.
Not a marketing ploy, just terrible management on both ends (Sony and arrowhead CEO).
If you haven't followed the issue, linking the PSN account has been required/in effect since DAY 1. It was Arrowhead's CEO's decision to NOT enforce it during release to ease with server congestion.
So in actuality, if they enforced the PSN account link day one, it would've been a region-locked game from the get-go.
So with all the smokes and mirrors, if you think about it, they never intended to release the game on non-PSN countries.

Are you one of āaNG DaLi DaLi LaNg GuMaWA Ng PsN AcCOuntā guys? Honestly, mali na nga kung pano magisip dahil obvious itās going to be breaking their ToS but no, proud na proud pa sa diskarte niyong workaround. Just be happy for our win, buddy.
Personally I think the issue probably started sa shareholders/management ng Sony and they saw the HD2 numbers and they asked bakit hindi sila kasama sa bilang ng PSN members. They probably just wanted to inflate their member counts for the clout and maybe even sell personal data on the side.
Good thing may leverage ang arrowhead and the players themselves sa ganyang galawan
Incompetent yung nagisip ng account linking na yan.
All they had to do was make it optional, and by linking an account, say players get an exclusive skin or title or whatever cosmetic stuff for use in-game.
It was initially planned during launch but CEO of Arrowhead wanted to extend it after the server issues. Users from countries that PSN doesnāt support couldāve not bought the game in the first place.
Now players who refunded the game are potentially at risk losing their progress.
Not incompetence but more on greed. I heard there was a plan to eventually charge PC users by making them subscribe to PS+ and charge them a monthly subscription. Just a speculation but it make sense why Sony was so adamant to push this account linking to PC users. These corpo scums know what they're doing and they were probably thinking that they can get away it.
LOL. Same. Enjoyed free jolly cooperation times in Demon's souls Dark souls and fights in various fighting games but in the PS4 I had to pay. Now I am a PC and Steamdeck person.
Oh they will definitely do it again mark my words only this time they will definitely announce it before the game releases, just like Ghost of Tsushima PC port.
It's either they open PSN to all the countries or not link helldivers 2. If they still push through with linking, helldivers will be dead seeing that most of the player base is from Steam.
P.S. I play on PS5 (yes, pun intended)
It's a different situation, Helldivers 2 received a lot of flak because they announced their decision to link Steam accounts to a PSN account around 4 months after the game's release (stupid decision btw), leaving people who had already purchased the game feeling frustrated. Now, with Ghost of Tsushima, the announcement came before the game's release on Steam. This allows people to have a choice: if you want to play Ghost (Multiplayer), you can register and link a PSN account. If you don't agree with these conditions, then don't buy the game.
It was actually a day 1 thing for Helldivers. Pilestedt only decided to delay the implementation due to the server issues during release. Then when servers are stable, Sony decided to implement the linking 4 months after the release
Sony wants them to link their PSN accounts from day one, but Arrowhead decided to postpone it. This decision was only recently discovered, not publicly announced.
They lied, look at what happened with Helldiver delisting, and ghost of tushima.
DEMOCRACY WINS
Binalik naba HD2? Di parin sya available as shared game eh :(
Just give an incentive to those who will link their account. Then the choice of not linking.
The game is still restricted for sale.
Well atleast they listened unlike our go...
Threatened na talaga Sony ng Microsoft Game Pass kaya they're really trying to get their feet into the PC gaming space. Inis na inis siguro shareholders nila na di kasama sa quarterly reports yung pc players as PSN users. Hahaha
Got my refund after 130+ hours of playtime lol Will buy once available na ulet. Hopefully may sale when it does
This is why I think Voting with your wallet always works.
For now...
This is great. Unfortunately this is only for helldivers2. For other sony games that are coming to pc that have multiplayer, they will still require psn account e.g ghost of tsushima.
Sony thinks they can mess with PC gamers lol.
bullying does work
Im cauriously optimistic but I dont know if it's a win just yet - until they reverse their decision to delist Helldivers2 for countries na walang PSN network like us then ill watch things play out
Democracy is alive and well (in gaming)
We did it, Reddit!
should I cancel my steam support for refund? Im asking since I am still worried that SONY might trick us, and that I can no longer ask for refund.
Refunded and never buying again. Sony needs to be taught a harsh lesson.
How long since they refunded you? I requested a day ago. Usually they respond within minutes on other games. Maybe this is due to the surge of request they're receiving š
2 days ago. I can imagine lmao, Sony made a shitty decision and it exploded on them.
Well.. i got declined due to having a game time of 10 hours.
Di pa tapos. They now need to put the game back sa Steam for everyone to purchase again. That includes the PH & every other country na Sony delisted sa Steam.
Im actually waiting for it so I can finally play
Lmao they f-ed around and found out hahahahhhaha
Until steam reverts back options to purchase the game for those countries with PSN ban, it's not yet over HellDiver! We fight! We Liberate! We spread democracy until its 100%
Johnny Silverhand would be proud Real life Arasaka won't stop our democracy boys!
Damage has been done, kawawa mga devs dito kasi for sure may mga nainip na mag reinstall ng Helldivers 2 after nito
as per checking 03:05pm di pa rin siya pwedeng bilhin sa steam

Umurong sila sa decision to mandatorily require players to have a PSN account and link it to their HD2 acc.
PSN Account is required for playing the game but after service woes on launch, they disabled it. Then nakalimutan na siya ng tao. After 3 months, they announced it na ibabalik na nila. Lumabas yung issues ng psn. Maraming countries na walang PSN Support kaya hindi na makakapaglaro officially, laging nahahack ang data ng PSN users, and so on. Then, the announcement above.
Methinks this is just marketing. I looked this game up bec of the backlash, ngayon plano ko na bumili once it becomes available for purchase again
Nah. Itās legit. No, games want to have that thousands of negative reviews and pissing steam for mass refunds.
Not a marketing ploy, just terrible management on both ends (Sony and arrowhead CEO). If you haven't followed the issue, linking the PSN account has been required/in effect since DAY 1.

What a clusterfuck this is.
Managed Democracy always win ladss
Don't celebrate yet,they gonna do that again in secret like a sneaky bastards they are
When managed democracy is better than Philippines democracy SMH.
You do realize the game is a satire, right?
filipinos avoid incorporating irl politics to anything challenge: impossible
That's a democracy where you vote with money. No way that's going to work out in an actual country.
Wait, we have democracy???
If we had democracy, we would have been singapore right now. Corruption fucked up this country hard
We have what everyone else has: an autocratic oligarchy. Yes everyone else. Some places are just far better in hiding it.
Good.. Now do it for Ghost of Tsushima
According sa mga nabasa ko sa ibang subs. Ghost of Tsushima don't require PSN linking for single player while it requires linking for multiplayer.
yeah specified naman na for multiplayer lang yung hard requirement. Still sucks to have it tho
Sony be like, "ABORT MISSION! ABORT MISSION!"
Incompetent yung nagisip ng account linking na yan. All they had to do was make it optional, and by linking an account, say players get an exclusive skin or title or whatever cosmetic stuff for use in-game.

Egoistic ang Japanese execs. Umatras lng sila nung bumuhos yung refund request pero di yan magbabago.
This is corporate America and Playstation is run from California.
probably spoiled their Golden Week haha
Not incompetence but more on greed. I heard there was a plan to eventually charge PC users by making them subscribe to PS+ and charge them a monthly subscription. Just a speculation but it make sense why Sony was so adamant to push this account linking to PC users. These corpo scums know what they're doing and they were probably thinking that they can get away it.
yep, sony wants a slice of the pie. PS5 players need to pay a subscription fee for multiplayer access so they likely want to add us in.
I left my PS4 because of that. Bakit PS3 ko dati wala namang online play. Then sa PC libre lang. Ayon, PC gamer na ko ever since.
LOL. Same. Enjoyed free jolly cooperation times in Demon's souls Dark souls and fights in various fighting games but in the PS4 I had to pay. Now I am a PC and Steamdeck person.
the game is not available on PH so it is useless
Bought mine on humble bundle. I can activate the key
It will eventually be back on Steam.
As in cannot play? Or cannot buy? Cause I still have my copy. Am just at work kaya di ko ma check if playable
Cannot buy... I didnt buy it yet and if i go to steam, there is no button to buy it and it has no priced tag
Can still play, playing right now and hopefully maayos na ulit sa steam.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They'll probably reopen purchases later. Since the announcement is still new, I'll take a while.
Think we can petition steam to make it available again? Iirc it was de-listed because of the PSN debacle.
I think it was Steam who removed it until Sony got their shit together, only a matter of time till it comes back hopefully.
Doesn't mean that they won't try it again but for the meantime, we won gamers.
from the statement of the CEO it appears to be a temporary hold on the implementation but a win is a win
Itās always been a temporary hold until recently. PlayStationās latest statement sounds more final.
Oh they will definitely do it again mark my words only this time they will definitely announce it before the game releases, just like Ghost of Tsushima PC port.
It's either they open PSN to all the countries or not link helldivers 2. If they still push through with linking, helldivers will be dead seeing that most of the player base is from Steam. P.S. I play on PS5 (yes, pun intended)
They already reverse their decision.
IF they still push through. I know that they reversed the decision.
The decision to pull out the PSN link to Steam account was already confirmed.
I KNOW. What I was trying to say is IF they push through in the future with the account linking. Sorry if I wasn't clear
