    I feel sorry for the Arrowhead devs. They made a spectacular game that was revered across the entire industry and loved by its fans, and their overlords at Sony went and caused so much damage to their reputation overnight. Literally just 24 hours ago people were writing articles about how Helldivers 2 is the right way to make a game and should be an example for the rest of the industry, and then Sony calls in a hellbomb on the reviews.

      I feel sorry for the Arrowhead devs.

      After seeing a community manager on Discord mistreating on people who voice their concerns with this change, I certainly do not feel sorry for the Arrowhead devs.

    Game companies sure are completely disconnected from their audience these days.

    When I was growing up, game companies were happy that their games became popular. There was none of this shit going on.

      The fans are fine with a $40 always online game with kernel level anti-cheat, a battle pass and micro-transactions. Somehow I think they will suck it up as usual and keep playing the game. Gamers are absolute pushovers and negative attention like in this case, is entirely random. If they would have enforced this from day 1, none of these people would have cared.

    I haven’t tried the account linking process yet but I wanted first to log in to PSN through their website and I can’t, not even from different devices.

    Anyone else having a similar issue?
