I wonder if couldn’t say anything earlier due to it being a Sony mandate and not their own company. Sony may have wanted GoT to be the big game that rolls out psn to pc, big first party title vs. a smaller in scope game made by an independent company. Delisting the game from stores in regions where psn isn’t available is where it turns into a real fiasco even if there are workarounds. They had to have known that was going to happen

Volte posted:Depends what you mean by "this". From earlier statements, it seems like the devs didn't realize that you couldn't make a PSN account in most of the world, so the only thing they didn't say was that eventually you'll need a PSN account. I don't think they knew there was a ticking timebomb waiting to go off. I mean, that's the thing though. There are plenty of people who play PC exclusively and don't have/want a PSN account. Dropping this on them months after they've been enjoying the game is a gently caress-up from all sides. The devs absolutely knew this was going to happen and should have been more vocal about it.

Soul Glo posted:Gamepass owns actually I think the point is that it doesn't seem to be making any kind of broad impact or holding Sony to account. I turn it on and off on PC to play games for ten bucks. Maybe in five years when the wheel has fully turned to subscription games and cloud poo poo it will be an I told you so moment for MS.

I could see the PSN account requirements being a bit of a wet blanket on the runaway smash success that no one would have predicted for HD2. Cynically, it was probably better to let it cook like it did and then take the walloping later on

There's also the issue with non PSN countries. It's a bad situation for the new darling dev to have put themselves in. biceps crimes posted:Cynically, maybe it was better to let it cook like it did and then take the walloping later on Yeah they already got paid and the game is away. I don't think they're taking any kind of meaningful hit financially, but the good will will have to wait until they release the next faction.

boz posted:Appreciate that, sorry if what I said came off untrustworthy. No worries. I don't begrudge anyone who hates the hellsite. It also doesn't help that if you're not logged in to twitter and you go to a specific account's page, you won't see their most recent tweets, only a random assortment of multi-year old tweets. (So basically useless)

Oh it was dumb as hell for sure. They should have known by now that Gamers™ are demented, have nothing else going on in their lives and will waste endless energy and time raging over having to make a free account that takes about 1 minute to create. For the record I hate those third party logins in any game but it's more like "dang. Guess I'll make this stupid account" not viva la revolución. Just glanced at the HD2 reddit and fuckin  Haven't even checked the thread here, I bet it's bad.I do however find it very funny that Sony wants successful GAAS games so bad that they bought Bungie. Then this little game they didn't even bother to promote ends up dominating out of nowhere, but also Sony can't really get predatory because gamers would burn down their HQ since the game has become some sort of weird symbol for something I can't really explain. Absolutely rabid fanbase it's wild. They are basically stuck selling new armor for $1.99 forever while the same thing in COD is like $25 haha. Anyways HD2 kicks rear end and most people are gonna keep playing it regardless of what they say cause Gamers are also full of poo poo.

ImpAtom posted:Nah, for pay battle passes suck no matter what they are in. Nah. They are fine and HD2 has a better handling of it than most games. it's not like I get particular enjoyment from battle passes, but spending an optional 10 bux on a game with ongoing support every couple of months seems like a fair compromise. there's a bunch of worse alternatives to battle passes and I don't expect developers to keep supporting games for literal years and not expect anything in return. At least battle passes are affordable and optional. In the case of HD2 you can actually just earn the money for them in game which is pretty unusual.

Fun discovery I made. - Steam's breakdown of regions is insanely granular - DPRK is a valid Steam region - Helldivers 2 was available for purchase there before this blew up I choose to believe Kim Jong-Un personally intervened to make this happen.
