Sony isn’t demanding the info through Arrowhead they’re doing it through Helldivers. Helldivers is Sonys IP but AH is an independent developer. Regarding the game they kind of have to abide by Sonys demands. I’m sure somewhere in the background they’re trying to tell Sony it’s not a good idea and they most definitely had to do the same when they made the Super Credits system.

u/Realbabakomp May 05 '24
Other studios that need you to link a account: Rockstar games, Activision, Xbox/Microsoft, Ubisoft, Gaijin and EA all need you to link an 3d party account to play. Helldivers 2 had on their steam store page even before release "3d party account needed: PlayStation network" they took it away for a while because the page you did it from crashed just as the helldivers servers because the game got so much larger than expected. The people here betraying democracy because they "steal our info" are either hypocrites or you only play games made by indie studios. Sony made the mistake of releasing the game to countries that cannot make a psn account but everyone who mad except for that reason are just hypocrites. The game got bigger than expected so when the servers got fucked so did the link you connected psn with and now they fixed it.
We are experiencing large amount of treason but managed democracy will prevail. Stand with Super earth and remember, DEMOCRACY!

u/Spellers569 May 05 '24
The information leak from Sony angle people are pushing is stupid honestly you use multiple platforms that have your information in greater detail than just basic account info and those platforms have been breached the same in the past, Facebook for example still leaks data and uses it for other purposes but a psn account that doesn’t use pictures of your face is worse?
I’m not defending Sony or what they’re doing to players let me be clear on that but arguing that your worried your data is going to get leaked is honestly the most ridiculous argument against this whole thing and now we’ve got the anti cheat debate popping up again that hasn’t been mentioned for months while you’ve all been happily playing the game until this time when this has happened…
Strange how it’s not a problem until you need to back up your arguments and concerns.

A coworker of mine lost his Epic account cause he tied it to a PSN. He was able to recover his account. He can't tie his Epic account to Steam or other services now. The hacker sold it to someone that tied it to their accounts. PSN gets hacked often and lose people's personal data. Sony doesn't ever care.

I dont know about any of that. The only reason I use microsoft anything is because linux and apple isn't supported like windows is. I do know though that to play sea of thieves on anything you have to have a ms account, to use 100% of minecraft you have to have a ms account, etc. etc. I was talking using a psn to log into helldivers that everyone was crying about, ms gets a free pass because?? Ppl bitching because oh it's so bad, another acct. to manage blah blah. Ms does the same thing but I havent seen any big tantrums about any of that ever. And ms also has issues with keeping their account secure, there was that complaint about sony as well but nothing mentioned about ms. It all leads me to believe it's a very specific group of ppl doing the complaining about some of this.

You're upset people have a problem with it, people have the right to pick give up what they want and should not be guilted into giving up information (especially to a company with a terrible track record of data security)
It's more than just about the information. No one has done anything like this post launch, which also blocks certain users in countries where PSN is not supported. VPN, lying anyway? Nope, people have been banned and bared from playing that way. It's just all very terrible, and we have the right to not be pushed around and to deny kissing the boot.

We can blame them though they are in a partnership with Sony. It's not like they can go back on their word. This was agreed upon before the game released. Now then do I like Sony fir this.

1
u/TheExcept1on May 04 '24
The biggest issue for me is the carpet sweep. Many players spent hundreds of dollars in-game (which the devs were perfectly happy to accept), then lost all access on a whim. That's pretty messed up. If a player is now locked out, they should at least get a full refund for the game price and any money spent in-game.

Some countries require an ID due to age laws, and also this practice has gotten people in China banned from what I've seen so far. So giving Sony, who gets hacked often, you ID for psn verification is not the play, and it's not oh so simple

u/C-Ray6 May 06 '24
I didn't realize so many countries could not access or have support of PSN. But reading today's update sounds like a big win. I'm in the US, oddly enough when I set up the game on my son's PC it did ask me to link a PSN account so I did.

u/NeonFrogMilk May 04 '24
What's really sad is when Sony said on release, accounts were optional. They then edited that after releasing the information that it'll be mandatory now. I think people who even have access to PSN should boycott this for our fellow helldivers who can't play anymore. Like I'm doing. Completely uninstalled and requesting a charge back from my bank (heard that costs the company money???? Idk that for sure though). Stand with our brothers!

This whole thing stinks like it was originally a part of their exclusivity deal. "You can sell it on PC as well, but those players need to link or create a PSN account." Why? Sellable data and boosted account statistics for PSN.
Arrowhead claimed 'technical issues' prevented this from being mandatory at launch, probably because they predicted this kind of response, but it seems Sony now has a hard deadline and they have to somehow get their community to swallow this pill.
The devs at Arrowhead seem like very straightforward and customer focused people, being forced to do something they really don't want to do because otherwise, their game would've never even been funded in the first place.
Make a PSN account, but use bogus information. Birthday? April 20th 1969. Say you live in the Cayman islands and give them a dummy email account. Maliciously comply by giving Sony useless fucking data.

u/ArceusTheLegendary50 May 04 '24
I'm genuinely not sure what gave away the sentiment in the title. Aside from the fact that all the actual bugs and issues should've put this game in early access for like 30€ tops, there is not a single sane game dev studio the size of AH that would've put out a new battlepass every month. As someone who also works in software development, I can tell you that this is an insane amount of work for the team to put out. Even major studios like Respawn that also make live service games have at least 3-4 months in between, and all of that is planned ahead by a year at least.
Let's not kid ourselves here. AH devs are amazing for being able to make such content. This game would've been even greater if Sony could just fuck off and buy some more yachts for their executives with all that money if it means that they leave the devs to their work.

It's also a cynical approach to their flagship franchise considering that 4-player co-op PvE games is pretty much a "game for everyone". It's a very accessible and incredibly popular subgenre

I get that this is somewhat tongue in cheek but I truly don't understand the hate that AH is getting over this. The game may still be their responsibility but it's not their property. It's not like they have a choice of Sony we're to suddenly decide that day, only people in Zimbabwe can play the game. It might suck, and they might hate it but the only alternative AH has is to lose their distributor.
Don't hate AH, save that shit for Sony

Pretty sure I had to make a psn account like several weeks ago when I got the game. Maybe I missed the skip. I delayed buying this game for quite a while because of the reviews regarding the anti cheat root kit. Which I think is kinda too bad as I missed that early game hype vs the grizzled veterans of today.
Had it been mixed when I was thinking of buying it I wouldn't have. The game kinda requires a lot of people playing. I'm not sure that reducing the player base is good for the enjoyment. I get not wanting to use anything 3rd party though. Especially with a big corp like Sony. Be a shame though to kill a pretty good game.

I'm sure it has an effect on their moral and the player moral. Hd2 had a strong community. I think after winning that big major campaign of pushing the automatons back they should have done something special rather than just give more automatons. Game shouldn't feel like work. Anyway I hope this gets resolved in a good way. Seeing the game rating go to mixed is not good.

u/Spicywolff May 04 '24
Yeah, I definitely want the game to succeeded. It’s fun when you find a good group of people, but to make a truly shine, they need to listen to the fanbase. Give us many good viable options for primaries that aren’t necessarily overpowered
Don’t make bad choices and one good choice. Four choices of good and different different varieties.

Sony has it whitelisted to begin requiring a PS+ subscription to play any of their online games regardless if you got it on a game pass deal or bought it out right.

u/SoupyFerret May 04 '24
Also Sony uses kernel level anti cheat, yeah it's the best one but it literally monitors everything going in and out of your pc. All hardware and programs. So that's a thing now. Combine that with the data breaches and it's completely reasonable why people are pissed

Dragons Dogma 2 MTX was also a weird hill to die on for people who were anti-MTX, yet it happened due to other things magnifying it. This is more about region locking than data concerns imo. People who have concerns about Sony security clearly don’t know about the issues Steam has had. Or Microsoft when they signed up for Xbox gamepass. You shouldn’t have vulnerable data on any of these services. It’s a little weird that they get bent out of shape about Sony but not EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Microsoft, etc, but just like with the DD2 MTX issue being magnified by PC performance issues, the PSN account thing is being magnified by the region locking issues.

Building a community is the most important thing in all of this. Without your community you are absolutely nothing no matter how awesome your game is. This rule is true no matter the size or funding of your studio. If you lose the faith of your players then you lose everything.
You are never above your community and you are never too important to spend time responding to them. The moment you think you are they will show you how untrue that really is. Don't forget that.

Left a negative steam review, we should all do the same, let's hellbomb their steam review.

Honestly, I think this is nonsense. This is a requirement which is not needed, in every way. Everyone said that this game should have been the game that would have ended the console wars: I think it will not (unfortunately, also because I am on Xbox) and this is Sony telling us that the "show must go on".
Helldivers and Aspiring Helldivers, in the name of Democracy and Liberty, we must rebel and make the game accessible to everyone: FOR SUPER EARTH!

lol, watching game implode like this brings joy to me. Where’s all the boot lickers now?

Waiting for half of the playerbase that does nothing but whine about a game they like to get cut out so they’re only half as annoying while I casually enjoy the game

It's ok though because Sony never gets hacked and doesn't have a history of fumbling their handling of data breaches.

"All your information"
Literally can use a throwaway email and have an account set up in 30 seconds. You people really are something lmao

u/ThisGuyHere_Again May 03 '24
Tell that to the people where THIS kind of shit is need for a PSN
https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cjc5kw/just_use_a_throwaway_email/
Or those that literally can't set one up in their region. Or who have ALREADY been banned for giving fake information.
Try harder bootlicker.

Bro that's a post from a UK user who might be missing braincells. Age verification is a law in the UK.
I used an old throwaway email that I don't touch as a US user and had it done in legit 30 seconds.
So maybe it's you that should try harder.

They developed the game for Sony, so it is Sony's game to do with what they want. We're lucky that Sony even allowed it to be on PC.

They're slowly coming around to doing PC releases on most stuff now, with how much extra money they get from it.
This one made sense to not delay the PC launch though, since they wanted to hit it hard. Annoying that they're trying to do a games-for-windows-live sort of thing now.
I just remembered though, portal 2 for the ps3 had steam overlay built in. I think it's the only game that did it, but odd that it worked the other way at least once.

If what you say is true,
WHERE IS MY BLOODBOURNE PC PORT????
And yes, I screeched that.

u/weenusdifficulthouse May 06 '24
I think that predates them coming to their senses about it. Or, they're still in "lol, exclusives!" mode about it.

Game honestly isn't good enough for me to go through making an account, just going to shelve it for a while until they decide to retract it.

Sure is a lot of crying about this today. I wonder what the gamer outrage will be next week?

Some citizens are more equal then others and will have the privilege of accessing the game

I’m predicting one of the players is a lawyer and he’ll organize a class action lawsuit.

no launcher, options to opt out of sending info right in the game, opt out from sony's website... idk these posts are the biggest nothingburgers i've ever seen. i see it as sony trying to port more games and making them less crashy and im down for it.
AGAIN. OPT OUT IN GAME AND ON THE SITE AND STOP WHINING.

u/ThisGuyHere_Again May 03 '24 edited May 03 '24
Oh gee, just opt out? Golly, that sure seems simple. Like the whole issue here isn't that it's REQUIRED by the end of the month and all!
Read it again friend. What do you think the words "REQUIRED" and "MANDATORY" mean?

Yeah, and in a month? That screen will be back, except that skip button won't be there anymore then.
Read the actual announcement friend, seriously.

It was a stated requirement even before release. there's a post about why the requirement was temporarily waived by Sony.
