And then they pissed off their entire userbase with the PSN requirement. Incidentally AFAIK you still can't buy the game in countries that don't have PSN accounts available. So the fuckery probably isn't over.

Nah they didn't piss everyone off. Sony's sucky but there's not much you can do about that.

Are you fucking high? Some self-appointed Lorax for the Helldiver community here? Sounds pretty undemocratic of you, citizen.

I just don't really care enough to make an issue of it, it's still a fun game. I'm just surprised they waited so long before they tried to make the account linking mandatory. I linked mine because I was expecting them to pull something like that and apparently I already had one.

They being the publisher, Sony, who also was the one who removed it from many countries. Sony did the same thing with Ghosts.
