HELLDIVERS 2 Steam Account Linking Update [link to PlayStation Network mandatory]
(store.steampowered.com)
I don’t think Devs are to blame. Sony sent them engineers when servers were failing and are probably expecting some goodwill back.
Of course they are, they agreed to work with sony, they added or allowed sony to add this requirement.
This
Apparently this was always a planned feature but probably wasn’t ready for prime time at launch.
Man I really really hate the state of gaming right now....pay to win, in game currency, DLCs, half ass games made... I liked this game but this is by far stupid and makes no sense for me to continue playing. I honestly shouldn't have to worry about "account linking" when buying a game on steam.
This feels like a bait and switch, why wasnt this mandatory and upfront from the beginning? They knew that would hurt sales.....
As I understand it, it's in the TOS and it was not implemented on launch because of "bugs".
I will find a way to refund or chargeback or something. I hate that they feel they can change the contract like this
Review bombing incomming
Is it a "review bomb" for complaining about a legit problem with the game that stops you from playing?
But it was included in the game launch announcement? People getting mad about not reading before clicking is absurd.
I've worked retail and promise you: A sign could be flashing Hunter Orange, have several arrows pointing to it, with a dozen Vegas Peacock Dancers behind, four trumpets blaring, and be the size of a billboard, and people still won't read it.
And is that the fault of the business? No. Entitled consumers bitching about something that was plainly communicated on the store page and upon game launch, and clicked to accept the terms is still ridiculous.
Keep licking those corporate boots, my friend.
The requirement was disabled. Most people aren't lawyers and shouldn't be expected - or legally obligated - to read a legal document before engaging in an everyday task. Do you want life to be like this, boot-licker?
Just want to jump on the train of calling you a bootlicker for defending piece of shit corpos and ignoring human nature :)
Listen I try to read every agreement myself, but I missed this one too. Was this something you really caught and understood on reading the EULA?
I also hate EULAs being AFTER purchase and download.
It's not review bombing if the criticisms are legitimate. Forcing people to link accounts multiple months into a game is a legitimate gripe.
It’s easier than ever to never play a AAA game. The trend of launching games on broken promises with 14 prompts to spend money before you even reach the main menu is getting old.
I don't think Helldivers would be considered AAA. Probably more like AA.
My issue with this one wasn't that it promised anything, the game was launched normally it was enjoyable and then they pulled this crap.
gfdi
Sounds like the price for doing business with Sony PlayStation.
On the plus side, I have rediscovered my joy of reading.
I guess this is the day I'm remembering my psn password.
Don’t capitulate to terrorists. If everyone stops playing and buying they will reverse course.
Sony and AH CMs have crossed a line.
