Comment on Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account

And if they live in a country with no PSN support they absolutely should get a refund, even though they agreed to having a PSN account when they bought the game.

It was plainly communicated the account was needed so getting mad after the fact because they didn’t read and still agreed to the provision is on them.

And so be mad at Sony specifically? But they are okay with Steam having their data and selling it? Do they also not use a smart phone? Do they drive a car made in the last 4 years? Do they use credit cards? Loyalty cards? The outrage over their data use by Sony specifically is ridiculous when everything else is also siphoning the same information for no benefit to them.

Damn, you only missed the chance for the if you got nothing to hide argument.

If I buy a smartphone, and choose to use Android and Google, I get the benefit of all the stuff Google provides me, by my choice. I can cancel my account, and buy an iPhone next. That’s fine for me, because I chose to do that to use the benefits. If I use a credit card for all my purchases comfortably in one place, then it’s my choice. I can swap to another payment method or bank anytime. That’s fine for me, because I chose to do that to use the benefits.

If I’m forced to create an account that does absolutely nothing for me, then I’d be pissed. Not to speak about people in countries without PSN. Where’s that written, and why did they happily sell the game to people they knew they’ll lock out? Where’s the announcement that a refund policy will be implemented for such cases?

There’s a HUGE fucking difference between your Sony bootlicking arguments you post in every thread about this, and the actual impact of Sonys actions.
