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.

“Empathy for Arrowhead” — have we confirmed the rumor that they actually knew about the integration requirement before launch and still went ahead without saying or doing anything? If so, it’s hard to have empathy for them.

Yes. The CEO confirmed it in a tweet. They knew 6 months prior to launch but chose not to say anything other than a small tag on the steam page.

It's possible that they also didn't think it would be a big deal/didn't know about the players that wouldn't be able to play. Never assume for malice what can be explained with incompetence

I do agree, I think it was incompetence.
