    That’s sad. Helldivers 2 slaps and the developers have to go through this because Sony fucked up.

      Yeah, I’ve been on the discord yesterday for a while, and it is a constant torrent of nerd rage and hateful messages for the community manager. While I have requested a refund myself as well and am also really pissed about this change, I realize the poor schmock who is paid to talk nice to the players isnt at fault here but gets all the shit.

        I feel exactly zero sympathy for them at this point. All they had to do for the narrative to be ‘Fuck Sony’ instead of ‘Fuck Arrowhead and Sony’ was nothing. Sony cannot compel speech out of employees of companies in EU member states.

        Unless the objective was to generate as much hate and aggro as possible, in which case these clown tier responses were perfect.

        Nerd Rage has never accomplished anything. It hurts the wrong people and the best part is, the companies will continue to flourish, this includes the guilty ones. Gamers are some of the least consequential people on this planet after all. It is absolutely ok to vent your frustration and demand a refund. Voting with your wallet is a great way actually. But going for a community manager is just cruel and childish.

        That community manager is also utterly incompetent at their job, which made this worse for Arrowhead than it had to be.
