Out of the loop, but still curious... Is this due to the PSN login stuff?
Yup, they made it optional for Helldivers 2 but made it mandatory for Ghost of Tsushima. And future PS releases as well.
Optional for HD2 but the fact that they restricted the countries most likely means they’ll try it again.
That's a shitty move. I really hope it backfires.
More particularly its mandatory if folks want to use multiplayer. Since thats all HD2 is that effectively bricks the game outside psn countries. In Ghosts case, its single player, which doesn't require it, (per their devs), but does have multiplayer elements which would require it if you use them.
Yes, Sony started enforcing a requirement to link a PSN account in order to be able to keep playing Helldivers 2. This was months after launch, after being sold in dozens of countries where people can't make PSN accounts. Sony responded by just delisting Helldivers 2 from those countries. Looks like they're doing the same thing with Ghosts of Tsushima and delisting it from countries that can't make PSN accounts.
So they stepped back the login requirement with the whole "We heard your feedback, Gamerz!" line, but are clearly getting things set up to just do it later anyway?
Wow.
Typical “We are sorry you feel that way” bs.
I perceived it as: “We heard your feedback, as such we fired the community manager, and will hire a new one who will be capable of keeping the community quiet”
