We are constantly limit-testing what level of exploitation our players can endure
It’s weird how collective action works so well but they only choose to do it for this linking requirement. You could get the rootkits gone as well, gamers.
Most people don’t know what they’re installing or don’t care about their privacy, which is why there’s not enough people rising up against kernel level AC’s. Also, not being able to play until you create an account is much more upsetting to most people, than just clicking ‘update’ in League of Legends.
Does the rootkit install alongside the game like without explicit user action? That’s pretty unfortunate.
There’s a tooltip next to the update button that says something like ‘Our Anticheat Vanguard is out now!’ or smth like that. The rest is exactly the same as any other update
That is despicable TBH.
the problem with that is that the people playing thoose games have no idea what a rootkit is
Like an emotionally abusive partner.
Just another nail to the bootlicker’s coffin of “review bombing does nothing”.
“We’re still learning what is best for PC players”
Well PlayStation staff member, it definitely isn’t having people create another account when they already have a Steam account.

We’ll keep you updated on future plans
Behind the scenes coming up with the future plans:
Glorious Victory ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Getting abusive parent vibes from the language of Sony’s post.
Corporate PR speak always sounds cringe and I despise it. Just be humans you fucking pricks.
Starting off with “we’ve heard your feedback” is something I’ve never heard from an abusive parent?
Naw it’s more like “we did something we knew would make you incredibly uncomfortable; but now that you’re screaming we’re worried about the neighbors hearing it and we don’t want the cops called on us, so we’ll back off until a more opportune time.”
Shitstorm = Feedback
Noted…
It’s Feedback in the way that microphone feedback is - really bloody loud and painful, and makes you know you’ve done something wrong
Yeah exactly. And it’s often the only feedback that gets any attention unfortunately. It was getting media attention and getting very loud.
Plus the whole thing was just stupid. They could have accomplished exactly the same thing with little backlash by offering some little in-game trinket for voluntarily linking a PSN account where it was possible to get one. This wasn’t my idea, I saw it somewhere on Lemmy, but that person needs to get a job at Sony stat because the chucklefucks working there now have no clue.
the only feedback they respond to are the feedback that give them concussion.
For now… 🖕🏽 They worded that so weasely, they’re just waiting for the storm to pass and for Legal to come up with some compelling reason why they’re totally “obligated” to make it happen, “hands tied” “so sorry” and all that.
Fuck Sony. They made this SOP way back when, and there’s no way they let this stop them forever. It’s all about profit, not what “we” want.
“Helldivers 2 players get exactly what they wanted, still unhappy.”
You don’t get to do something shitty then expect everyone to be happy. If you want that, you shouldn’t have done the shitty thing in the first place.
Seriously. Jesus Christi, peopke
“Sorry, we’ll have to do it in a few months again to see if you still can mobilize this much”.
“You know that thing where the initial assault is just a ploy to draw people in for the real attack?”
This has nothing to do with the shitstorm (it mostly hit Arrowhead anyway), and I think the review bombing didn’t affect their decision making that much. What I think happened was, Sony saw the massive refunds. They got hit right into the wallet 😩
This makes me smile.
Cyberbullying works 🎉
Is that the new term for boycott?
Ya, it’s the good ol’ “voting with your wallet” that can bring companies to their knees
So, someone in my Discord channel posted a tweet that maybe alters perspective a bit;
To summarize or if the link breaks, one of the devs “knew beforehand” they’d have to require PSN accounts post launch, but disabled them for a smooth launch. That’s interesting, but as long as Sony was acting as publisher I feel like the blame still goes on them for selling the game to non-PSN countries initially.
FYI l: That’s the CEO of Arrowhead, who made the game.
Have they reinstated the games back in the 177 countries they delisted it in? Can those people who paid for the game still play it?
PC gamers with the W for not folding to bad choices. More gamers need to do this.
Nice! Guess I can add it back to my wishlist and consider buying it soon! Been holding off on it too long
“too long”? The game is 4 months old.
Hot take, don’t buy any games which were only released in the last 12 months. Matured games are far more stable
I remember when people on this site were saying Helldivers was already GOTY back on release week, hilarious.
If it wins after this situation, it’s definitely not the players choice.
