Current Events > Playstation walking back on their Helldivers 2 bullshittery.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I feel like if they make PSN necessary going forward there's the 100+ countries steam will not allow it to be sold in. So they still have to take a loss moneywise because steam does not like giving back money and won't let this type of thing happen a second time.

If they actually care about these 100+ countries, they could simply go forward with supporting them within the PSN.

The developers asked unhappy players to leave negative review, hence the review bombing.

Many people leaving negative reviews because they can't play a game is not review bombing.

Yeah, this was a huge controversy at the time. It was near the height of WoW's popularity (on the tail end of it). Basically, in 2010 they had a system called "Real ID" which was a way for players to be friends between Blizzard games. The system was only for "real" friends who were allowed to know each others' real names.

It worked fine. Some of my IRL friends and even a few online ones were on my list.

The problem was that Blizzard wanted to "reduce toxicity" on the forums by forcing people to use their Real ID profile in order to post at all on the public forums.

This was very unpopular. People were extremely angry right away. The community managers tried to calm people down by pointing out that knowing someone's real name "wasn't a big deal," so in a show of good faith, they shared their real first and last name.

Almost immediately, this poor individual was subject to credit card applications, pizza deliveries, doxxing, etc.

Shortly after that, Blizzard walked back the decision.

LMAO. How did they not see that coming?

I have no idea why people post troll posts from Twitter. Majority of them are just bots or dudes who have no life. Im sure theres the odd nutter out there who genuinely believe what they are saying but why give them a platform on here lol?

Then they wouldn't be a troll.
