Sony learned nothing from the Helldivers 2 shitshow.
You must log in or register to comment.
Let me tell you what to do when the game drops on steam:
- Buy it at full price as soon as it releases.
- Press play, get to the PSN login screen or whatever it is.
- Close it.
- Immediately post a negative review saying it requires a PSN account.
- Request a refund from Steam, you’ll basically get it automatically as you played less than 2 hours.
- …
- Profit! Watch Sony squirm with those reviews.
The seas are mighty fine this time of year, I might as well go for a sail.
Sony learned nothing from the Helldivers 2 shitshow
Well they learned to announce that it would require an account before releasing the game rather than after people had already bought it, which was the complaint with Helldivers, right?
I don’t honestly understand why Sony is pushing this do hard.
There’s definitely a CEO whose bonus depends on hitting a certain number of PSN accounts. I can only assume account info is being sold because why else would they care? It’s either that or they eventually plan on charging PC players a monthly fee to play all their Sony games.

could also just be as simple as getting people’s feet in the door to their marketplace. if you already have an account maybe you’ll be fractionally more likely to buy other stuff in the store. multiply that by a few million or whatever… it’s not nothing.
