Heyyy check it out, the old folks at Bethesda are bringing their most recent snooze-fest slightly closer to where it should have been at launch.
The only legitimate criticism today (that is not expressed by the majority of the negative reviews) I see here is that apparently you canāt make a PSN account in every country. Because the day you could preorder it, it said it will require a PSN account.
Not sure if itās true or not but Iāve read that you also need a photo of your face to make the account and that might rub people the wrong way.
Right, that is why I would not make a PSN account. If that is a requirement in Germany as well, idk. PSN was hacked often enough that people should think twice using it. I am glad Forbidden West does not require it, since I plan to get that with a new PC.
So, too bad for those who did not know this stuff when they bought the game. But yeah, the information are right there since the beginning.
Interesting, they almost managed to smartly avoid shutting anyone from the European Union.
Expect the French.
No idea if itās from Steam or directly Sony, but this doesnāt look good.
Lol, Japan?! Isnāt Sony from Japan?
Its probably banned because of dismemberment and stuff?
Oh those poor, poor, inbred Pitcairn Islanders. They will never get to know the joys of managed democracy.
My heart also goes out to the people of (Unknown Country Code: XD) (And FX)
Oh and the Pope, the Pope also canāt play Helldivers 2 though I hear he is more of a Crusader Kings III kind of guy.
No news articles have covered it yet butā¦
God I Love Democracy
Bullying mega corporations worksā¦ sometimes at least wooo
They unfucked that soon to be shit-ution suprisingly quick.
Why to even ruin goodwill at all to begin with? Iām baffled for how Sony blew up their leg in this one.
Iām honestly shocked they rolled over that quickly, posting an update on their american account in the middle of the night!
I would have expected them to just wait it out, have people give in (because thereās a good number that inevitably would)
But man, I guess all the optics on this and potential bad press really had the Executives scared (as well as some good discussions with the devs I think)
The CEO has been stellar with being transparent about when discussions about the account linking took place, and how the devs foresaw there would be backlash, especially after needing it disabled at launch from server strainā¦
Honestly I think the issue was a little bit overblown, with some people maybe bandwagoning the hate just because itās Sony, or annoyances about 3rd-party accounts (its definitely not new)
But yeah, Playstation and Sony have had veeery rocky histories with data breaches, so their statement is laughable. And even having the game sold in countries on steam that donāt have dedicated PSN support is super strange.v
Outside hate bandwagoon, the truly horrendous thing that happened and with no excuse was selling a product in regions that would eventually be restricted out of access for something the clients payed for.
That has no defense nor any logic behind why to even sell the game in places where PSN isnāt present if they were planning to attempt this at all. In fact, selling H2 in a single region that doesnāt has PSN was the call to forget the plans as a whole.
Iām in emotional whiplash from the tweet from Nintendo about their next console to this
I just woke up and now Iām very sad and pissed off, specially for Tango Gameworks. Hi Fi RUSH is of my favourite games as of now and one that got succesful and now this happens. So fucking unfair.
