MODERATORS
Sony really managed to erase one of their best-selling games in less than 3 days, for literally no potential gain at all. All risk, no reward: what a fuckin' business strategy
At best, they made it a minor inconvenience to make a second account to play the game on PC.
At worst, they are planning to charge for access to PSN titles (IE PS+), even if they aren't being played on a PlayStation, in the future.
Everyone knows what PC gamers hate at this point; publishers still screw us all the time for monetary gain and subscriptions are the new hot thing to screw people over to make money right now. I wouldn't discount it as a possibility.
Sony thinks they’ll sell consoles when they make Helldivers 3 a PlayStation 6 exclusive. “Hey, you’ve already made the PSN account; why not?”
Capitalism is the 1980s drug pusher your DARE officer warned you about
Palworld publisher be like:
I mean, Palworld suffered from the exact opposite problem, where the game received basically no post-launch content. So once players burned through the main game, there was very little reason to keep playing.
This just goes to show that support needs to both exist and be something players agree with.
Have they dropped it or it's taking a while to get more content?
I'm not opposed to trying it one day, once it has some dev time behind. Right now I heard end game isn't there yet.
They’re slowly building it up, patching bugs and recently (in the last 30 days?) released a few new pals
I've been tracking continued interest partially based on when updates are dropped and the interest in those updates.
It's been pretty consistent tbh
Nah im just going back to Helldivers 1
Since January it’s been a requirement and has been listed on the steam store page
Although, there was some issues a couple days after launch and they paused the mandatory linking. They are just now reimplenting it after fixing the issue it seems.
Sony's website said that PSN account linking would be optional, and they only changed the website to saying it's required yesterday (May 3rd)
