and whatever operating system you use Steam on doesn't?I mean if we're being honest, no one really protects data at all ever since the Internet just became an ad machine. But, the OS I use steam on I also don't have an account for and only use strictly for playing games and don't even bother to browse sites outside of this one and a couple other gaming info sites.
Literally takes a few mins to create a free acct man first world problems cry baby gamersWall of text inc. TL;DR at the end.
3.1. All information provided during Account creation, and during the use of your Account, must be accurate and complete. We reserve the right to suspend, terminate or restrict any Account (including as stated in Section 12.2 of this Agreement) that uses or was created using false information, or that we determine was created or used for a purpose that violates this Agreement.Maybe this helps you understand why some people are annoyed.
3.2. During Account creation you must select the country or region of your residence and in which your account will be registered in. Once your account is created, you will not be able to change the country or region code associated with your account.
12.2. Suspension or Termination by SIE. With or without notice, we may restrict, suspend or terminate your PSN Account and PlayStation Device, or indefinitely restrict, suspend or discontinue your access to or, or use of, certain PSN Content, offerings, features, products and services, if you violate this Agreement or we have a reasonable belief such a violation has or will occur, or as otherwise may be reasonably necessary to protect our PSN users, our partners, our platform, or other SIE interests.
Helldivers 2 "All-Time" review score on Steam is now at "Mixed" after 102,000 reviews that are "Mostly Negative" within the last 24hrs. What a disaster.Sucks for the devs but Sony fucked up and this is the consequence.

Isn't that illegal under EU laws?It is, and it's expected that EU will destroy Sony for this. Apparently, EU does not play around.
You don't hand a product over to a consumer after they purchased it. And then a month later notify them that they will no longer be able to access the product unless that creat an account.The push back I've seen is that "they were notified"
Do you need to pay for PlayStations online services if youre on PC? Or does a free PSN account work fine for playing on PC? I dont play my PS5 online so just wondering if my base account might be enough if I go PC for this game.
They messed with Gamers. GAMERS.
Man, we are part of a hobby made up of some of the most pathetic people on the planet.
You do not need to pay to play it online on PC. It's also what they're planning on doing with all future games coming to PC to allow achievements and stuff
For being against hyper-capitalistic corporate moves? It's always interesting seeing vocal leftists do a 180 on their values when it comes to a corporate that makes products they like/spite a demographic they dislike. If anything logically this would be something right wing Gamers would be defending but the stereotypical capital G Gamer hates everything so much that the roles have reversed.What the fuck does this have to do with leftist and rightist?
What the fuck does this have to do with leftist and rightist?Left should prefer worker (players) rights while the Right should prefer Corporate rights to fuck with the players.
Left should prefer worker (players) rights while the Right should prefer Corporate rights to fuck with the players.Wacky I love ya dude but this is a weird take.
So the 'Gamers' (on CE at least) who are left wing should be up in arms about Sony stomping on players, but apparently that's not the case and the leftists of CE are simping hard for Sony's decision.
Wacky I love ya dude but this is a weird take.I didn't say I agreed, just explaining the logic
Is it stupid though?Yes. Your refusal to end with "sincerely, Enclave" highlights this.
Looks like Steam is issuing some refunds and not outright rejecting people yet.

I have you tagged as Pinoy.Huh? I'm Filipino but I live in California lol
Sorry you had to go through this.
its so fuckin weird that people are taking sonys side here. is it because right wingers were mad at this game like a month ago so people are reflexively defending it or something? this is incredibly scummyI could see defending Sony if people had been illicitly avoiding the requirement and Sony was cracking down but the warning being what it was and a "click past and forget it" makes it feel like it wasn't a serious threat/warning.
its so fuckin weird that people are taking sonys side here. is it because right wingers were mad at this game like a month ago so people are reflexively defending it or something? this is incredibly scummyThat's how the Sony Defense Force works, they don't give a fuck if it's scummy or not if daddy Sony does it.
its so fuckin weird that people are taking sonys side here.Won't speak for anyone else but for me it's less that I'm taking Sony's side and more shaking my head from how embarrassing other gamers are acting. Hits the front page of /r/all and it's all these people freaking out, people in this topic making references to comic books, all the review bombing and screams of "HOLD THE LINE FOR DEMOCRACY," etc.
t's not the first time a game has required you to sign up for their own service and it's not going to be the last.Sure, but I wouldn't have bought it to begin with or instant refund if the PSN account wasn't optional.
"these people are having meltdowns acting like children cause they were told they can only play with their new toy if they wash their hands first"Except in this case some players aren't being provided the water to wash their hands and also the washing your hands is signing up for an unsecure service that is going to sell whatever data it can get on you.

Hits the front page of /r/all and it's all these people freaking out, people in this topic making references to comic books, all the review bombing and screams of "HOLD THE LINE FOR DEMOCRACY," etc.Because making someone sign up for a service after purchase is scummy. Especially when it's insecure, and in some places that the game is available, you can't have PSN. This is not a false flag here. People SHOULD unite like this to get big corps to open their ears. Shame that they can't do this for other things, but I'll take what I can get.
It's not the first time a game has required you to sign up for their own service and it's not going to be the last. The way people are acting online it's like they think they're taking a hardline stance to prevent genocide instead of a company doing what companies always do.
It doesn't help that these fans are also spamming in other communities, mostly just copy and pasting large comments from other people. It's not "oh think of the poor billion dollar company" and more "these people are having meltdowns acting like children cause they were told they can only play with their new toy if they wash their hands first"

It's just the community using popular memes to communicate with each other. They're not talking about real world democracy.

"Just make a fake email bro!"Wow not even MS has that.

Wow not even MS has that.
they do in EU countries that by law require it, like where that screenshot was taken...
This is a non issue for like 90% of people. For those in places where they cannot make an account, Sony needs to resolve that. But it's a non issue for almost everyone.About 3 million of the Helldivers copies sold were sold in countries without PSN, China and the Philippines being big buyers, for example. So no, it's not 90%. A large chunk of the playerbase is losing access. I just played with 2 groups of Chinese players earlier this week. Those people will no longer be able to play...
What exactly does that have to do with you? My main point still stands, that if you're not in one of those countries, it's a non issue.Yes, just rolling over to accept shit tier business practice is certainly going swimmingly for everyone.

What kind of post is this lol? Imagine if all issues in the world were looked at this way.
