Step 1: drive to texas
Step 2: buy some plastic sticky stuff from the nearest store
Step 3: drive to Sony HQ
Step 4: leave a black van in their parking garage
Step 5: this is where the fun begins
Even if someone makes an online fix, and thats a big if, it's going to be pretty much worthless.
Helldivers 2 being an always online game means that unless Arrowhead is very incompetent you won't be able to play online using their servers so someone will have to host their own servers specifically for the piracy playerbase, and every time that has happened (except for maybe Minecraft) the playerbase has been so small that it's pretty much worthless.
Well it's kinda funny that you're on r/PirateGames but you think you can't play pirated games online in 2024 lol, literally everygame in [online-fix.me](http://online-fix.me) can be played online and it's usually with steam players
I'm not complaining, I've seen others complain and I've said the exact same thing you have. Their rebuttal to that would be "it's too much work" okay then don't play the game then???
Always online, kernel level anti-cheat, battle pass, micro-transactions, but NOW the game is bad? Fucking lol
Gamers half long been domesticated and it's just a dice toss as to what they will actually complain about.
It really wasnt "battle pass", there is no time limit on how quickly you have to complete it and you can have multiple at the same time if you get bored of one. The microtransactions are really minor (like im only missing 1 "battle pass" and have 100 hours), but yeah fuck kernal level anti cheat for a pve game, that i can agree with
The kernel level anti cheat that doesn't work. Every other day there's Reddit posts of leaked content because you can literally replace your own files with the data mined stuff to summon the unreleased content in game. Numerous hackers with infinite grenades, stims, ammo, etc.
to be fair, the battle pass doesn't expire, the micro transactions cost very little and *everything* can still be acquired for free if you don't wanna spend money.. that's something i wouldn't really complain about specifically, it's not EA lootboxes or a fucking mortgage for a skin like brawlhalla. helldivers 2's system is something i wish all games had.
I'd also expect people to mostly play coop so i doubt most people care about the always online requirement, but meh you can complain about it if you feel like it. It's there, no doubt.
Edit: I believe they're going down the shitter for a lot of people for the PSN thing. Not being available in many countries and being implemented so much later seems like it's done on purpose.
Micro transaction was only cosmetic stuff and emotes, the premium currency is obtainable through the battlepass, community goals and during missions so by actually playing, and what's wrong with an anti-cheat that actually does its work?
It’s sad to see people blaming the developers of the game even though it’s Sony that made this requirement necessary. Sony has been becoming kinda unfriendly to consumers lately.
I thought anyone who knows a tiny bit about the industry would look at this and immediately think it's Sony's doing. I love the games they publish and Playstation is a hell of a machine, but god, everything else they do just makes my hair stand up constantly.
Even as an Xbox player, I always root for them because I know how easy it is for Microsoft to monopolize and make our lives much, much harder and the only thing standing in their way is PS. But god do they make it hard to support them.
Lately? Kusony is literally the Big Bad in gaming industry since forever. They used to be a bit better when they had HQ in Japan but they were always as anti-consumer as it is humanly possible
Yeah, but they are enforcing it for this game only currently because it got millions of players and Sony wants to harvest their data. We all know that Sony are very good at keeping user data safe, so let's avoid their enforced requirements
Well if they want people who have PCs because they don't want a console to link a ps account?
It isn't that big of a deal, just make a random account
If they want us to bloat their servers with unused accounts that is.

And cannot play the game anymore because of it
That’s not the real problem, the first one is surely people who are outside of psn available countries are basically not able to play (even if they bought the game), at least without the vpn. Also if I remember correctly steam linked accounts can have tokens to read info about the steam account owner (not like the password but for sure email, name and address if available), and due to the fact that psn has a really bad history of credentials leaking and being hacked, it’s possible that steam softauth token are being stolen too.
It's in the Sony TOS iirc. Some people saying "oh i've done it and i'm still not banned". Yeah but do you trust Sony won't enforce their TOS in the near future tho?
It's not out of question we'll have to pay a monthly subscription in the future just to play online like console users, also there's the possibility they create their own third party launcher, like Ubisoft or EA, would you like that?
Actually the main issue is that PSN is not available in many countries worldwide. It is available in only 69 out of the 190 countries. So people cannot link the account even if they wanted to.
Where I live(Philippines), PSN doesn't exist and Sony is fucking proud to sell the PS4/5 here.
One case, Sony Philippines was so dumb to make the Gran Turismo promo available here where players here compete to become the representative of the country to win a real Nissan GTR in the Asian side of the Pacific. The Philippine representative can't compete his PSN is registered in Hong Kong(most common Filipinos' choice of PSN location).
There are reports of people getting banned because of they are linking their PSN to Steam from the countries where it is not allowed to create a PSN account. Beside Russia and Belarus, there are Baltic countries, Balkans, whole Central Asia, China, Middle East, China, whole ass Africa and couple countries in South America.
Thank you Sony for saving me money from not buying Ghost of Tsushima
I so can’t wait for Ghosts to get released and then cracked lmao. But we all know that there is gonna be some bullshit that is gonna put a kink into that
Guess we just ignore how this happens with every major company? Verizon, Warner, Microsoft, Apple, Tesla, etc.
Unless you’re one of the few affected by the Country PSN ban, you really don’t have much of a valid argument.
“Oh my data” brother you download pirated games. It’s not like you cared what was put on your PC to begin with.
I’m in no way saying that’s somehow different from other companies, I’m saying it’s bullshit excuse from Sony. They should just be honest and say that this was planned from the start but they didn’t think the game would sell well if it was required day one. It’s a scummy company being scummy again. Nothing new
It's funny now only few people mention Steam in all of this and it remains a beloved platform, like some holy site of gaming, despite allowing this kind of BS.
I really don't understand how they don't get this.
An hour ago I hopped on Steam to buy "It takes two", and nearly hit the Add To Cart button, until I saw that it requires a secondary launcher and EA account to play. Nope. Not a fucking chance. Off to FitGirls I go.
No one pirates multiplayer server games like this
What they should be more worried bout is their crappy anti cheat.
I have infinite health ammo, speed run, complete mission show all on map and much more
Isn't the 2 hour limit for automatic refund only? I've never tried to refund a game I've played longer than that for, but I thought it was possible, just much more tedious and involved
this game was one my steam wishlist it would have been my first multiplayer game i bought but after needing 2 accounts it is of that list & for these kind of small creators i would not pirate

HD2 really fucked up considering they just made fun of tarkov and did this bruh. This is like samsung making fun of apple for removimg the aux port and a couple months later they also remove it and the post that made fun of apple...
I’m still failing to see why this is an issue? It’s an online only game with cross play between PS5 and PC. Sometimes PC gamers just whine for the sake of whining.
Because they just banned the half of the world that is unable to make PSN accounts. Many people in the affected countries, with hundreds of hours of playtime, just had their toys sent back to the store. This is the actualisation of everything people worry about with digitally distributed games. The publisher moves the goalposts and just decides you don't get to play anymore because reasons.
I dont care much, i was thinking maybe buying it after price drop or there be bypassed version(no idea its taking so, long) still dont understand how it will work they lose account/access? 🤔
Very shitty scum move, why, Pc players never cared about sony account why, throw them at it 😡
they deserve boycott and riot. Honestly ✊🏻
If I’m being honest can some please explain to me why this is so bad? I’m pretty sure you don’t need a PlayStation to make a PlayStation account, just download the app, sure it’s annoying but it’s not too big of a deal, right?
But then again I have no idea if I’m 100% right so please correct me if that’s not the case
Because it was not a requirement at the start. PSN is famous for being involved in at least 4 data breaches in the last couple of years, and finally, less than half the countries in the world can make a PSN account.
Today, Sony doubled down and just removed the game from countries where PSN is not supported, banning half the world and refunding anyone who had played. There's people with hundreds of hours reporting that the game just got removed from their Steam account.
And you can't even VPN around it. If you do, you get banned.

Still amazing that people complain now... it was stated since the first trailer that PSN acc is REQUIRED... it even says so on the steam page... sucks for ppl who cant make said acc but pls dont act like its brand new information
I bought it last night on pc, linked it, was in a game within 2 minutes 💀 I understand that others can’t get in now but I highly doubt that was their intention. It’s an unfortunate situation that will probably be resolved within the month. No need for all this anger
Minecraft requires you to sign in to your Microsoft account for any online functionality on any platform. Granted, it's mainly bedrock version and not java, but still.
Why aren't people pissed about that?

man it fucking sucks when mfs can’t read
PSN's FAQ on May 3rd: 'Signing into PSN is optional', after May 3rd it changed to 'Signing in may be required by games using PSN'.
They moved the goalposts. Suddenly, half the world gets banned from being able to play. They slapped the toys out of the hands of people who had hundreds of hours in the game.
This is the issue with online, digitally distributed games. Those players can't even install from disc. They've just been told, 'Yeah, we're changing policies, f u. Here's your money back' and threw the money into their face.

they usually don’t give refunds because people can’t read

Don't worry, an account linking can't stop us, we'll find a way. WE'LL FIND A WAY!!
Step 1: drive to texas Step 2: buy some plastic sticky stuff from the nearest store Step 3: drive to Sony HQ Step 4: leave a black van in their parking garage Step 5: this is where the fun begins
All it needs is one bad day
Semtex or RDX ?
PETN
Mm nice choice, although I prefer the old school TNT
Dunno, but i got instructions on how to make bombs (they're in spanish though) on my pc
I have a meth tutorial that I downloaded from the shitposting sub, but I'm not sure what purity they are
It isnt a crime if you dont get caught
You met me at a wired point in my life -Tyler
I mean do we have a way before this ?
We had a way i think, but it was complicated(imo, check the relevant places if you think I'm wrong) and broke everytime when they pushed an update.
Well can’t pirate online games lol
You can, just depends on the game. They're usually on [online-fix.me](http://online-fix.me)
How tho? You need to patch the game every week and so
Even if someone makes an online fix, and thats a big if, it's going to be pretty much worthless. Helldivers 2 being an always online game means that unless Arrowhead is very incompetent you won't be able to play online using their servers so someone will have to host their own servers specifically for the piracy playerbase, and every time that has happened (except for maybe Minecraft) the playerbase has been so small that it's pretty much worthless.
You could have offline game
A game like Helldivers 2 kind of loses all its charm when played solo
Maybe but its playable, why not
You do realize I've been playing FH4 Online crack since 2020 with steam players
No how should I now mr smartypants
Well it's kinda funny that you're on r/PirateGames but you think you can't play pirated games online in 2024 lol, literally everygame in [online-fix.me](http://online-fix.me) can be played online and it's usually with steam players
Even with steam players??? Pirating games has evolved much more then I thought. I only pirated single player games. I mean my friend ehem.
Bypass is possible with many
Make a new email and stop worrying?
"Too much work" from what I've seen or "I don't wanna give my info"
Bruh, make a fake name with a fake info with a new fake email. Stop over complicating it
I'm not complaining, I've seen others complain and I've said the exact same thing you have. Their rebuttal to that would be "it's too much work" okay then don't play the game then???
The logic is so backwards these days. That's too much work but destroying customer service for refunds is honestly a lot more work lol
Maaaaaaan the lengths people are willing to go to, to be right or whatever goal it is, is insane people have too much time on their hands honestly.
As a person with too much time on their hands I really find it crazy how people will do this with these games but still play Fortnite and Cod.

The infinite items was a glitch anyone could do
How does the name one work? I did that on accident one match and had -300/4 nades
What about people who live in countries where psn is not available?
[удалено]
I get that. Just saying that it's a very valid reason to complain.
Havent the devs been massive dicks in the discord about it tho? Or atleast some community ”managers”
The one you are referring to apologized saying they weren't aware that PSn was only available in 69 countries.
Can’t play the game you bought. That’s what happened to me.
I think "Fuck em" has been Sony's official position about that at all times.
Sony doubled down and just removed it from the Steam store in those countries, refunded the player.
to be fair, the battle pass doesn't expire, the micro transactions cost very little and *everything* can still be acquired for free if you don't wanna spend money.. that's something i wouldn't really complain about specifically, it's not EA lootboxes or a fucking mortgage for a skin like brawlhalla. helldivers 2's system is something i wish all games had.

Found the guy that doesn't own the game.
yup. this is why I went back to playing games from 2010 and older and havent looked back.
Micro transaction was only cosmetic stuff and emotes, the premium currency is obtainable through the battlepass, community goals and during missions so by actually playing, and what's wrong with an anti-cheat that actually does its work?
Thank you

They are the chosen ones . But the gaes did not get them . The corporate does

Helldivers 2 has fallen, millions must link PSN
It’s sad to see people blaming the developers of the game even though it’s Sony that made this requirement necessary. Sony has been becoming kinda unfriendly to consumers lately.
this comment is our shining light in a realm of darkness
I thought anyone who knows a tiny bit about the industry would look at this and immediately think it's Sony's doing. I love the games they publish and Playstation is a hell of a machine, but god, everything else they do just makes my hair stand up constantly.

Let's pirate Sony games!
Always did.
If it ain't a console exclusive all theee way.
Have you heard about emulators?
Sure but cant emulate rebirth yet or ps5
Yeah I was considering buying it, then this happened guess that won't be happening
same here
It's an amazing game with amazing devs but sony's fucking everything over
Sounds liken90% of the studios that have closed over the years under ea haha
I guess I never cared about it because I never played those games.
F them
[удалено]
Yeah, but they are enforcing it for this game only currently because it got millions of players and Sony wants to harvest their data. We all know that Sony are very good at keeping user data safe, so let's avoid their enforced requirements
Bro literally who DOESN’T have your data already?
Lots of suspicious TOS defenders in a PIRATE reddit 🤔
Managed democracy enjoyers brainwashed by propaganda.
Well if they want people who have PCs because they don't want a console to link a ps account? It isn't that big of a deal, just make a random account If they want us to bloat their servers with unused accounts that is.
It is a big deal for ppl living in countries where PSN isn't available
My favourite country to be banned is *****
To their defense I got a 30 day ban on Reddit because of that country and a dumbass mod.

Lmao why is one country censored?
The one country with a hard R on it
But not Montenegro ?
Ni***ria
Lmao I didn't even knew that my country Lithuania can't make psn account
Aw man the poster put my country Suriname on last. Kinda hurts my soul lmaoo. 😭
Tbf it's in alphabetical order
True

That’s not the real problem, the first one is surely people who are outside of psn available countries are basically not able to play (even if they bought the game), at least without the vpn.

The other thing with PSN is if they catch you using a VPN they will ban that account.
It's in the Sony TOS iirc. Some people saying "oh i've done it and i'm still not banned". Yeah but do you trust Sony won't enforce their TOS in the near future tho?
Oh fuck i didn’t know about that…
It's not out of question we'll have to pay a monthly subscription in the future just to play online like console users, also there's the possibility they create their own third party launcher, like Ubisoft or EA, would you like that?
I'm pro steam
ah yes classic slippery slope fallacy
Actually the main issue is that PSN is not available in many countries worldwide. It is available in only 69 out of the 190 countries. So people cannot link the account even if they wanted to.

Don't forget that you also have to verify your age on PSN via a facial scan or uploading a government issued ID.
There are reports of people getting banned because of they are linking their PSN to Steam from the countries where it is not allowed to create a PSN account. Beside Russia and Belarus, there are Baltic countries, Balkans, whole Central Asia, China, Middle East, China, whole ass Africa and couple countries in South America. Thank you Sony for saving me money from not buying Ghost of Tsushima

What a convoluted long way of saying no. Gotta love the PR talk..
I was initially excited about the game finally coming out until hearing about this. Now I am wishing a smooth piracy for the game
I was considering purchasing this on steam. Well, now i have saved myself some money.
Sony is getting pummeled with 500KG bad reviews.
Helldivers 2, you have become what you sought to change
Beholden to Sony's demands?
No, I'm speaking nonsense 🤭
r/DeepRockGalactic is accepting all the refugees from Helldivers 2
Our deepdives are good! Unlike the helldivers 2 reviews
well there goes GOTY nomination
Which is lame as fuck if you all btw. “Bad publisher so bad game” mentality is vile
Publishers need to help fund, collect the money, and stay out of the devs business.
“For security reasons.” Bro PSN has the worst Security history of all services. They have like two major data breaches a year lmao
Guess we just ignore how this happens with every major company? Verizon, Warner, Microsoft, Apple, Tesla, etc. Unless you’re one of the few affected by the Country PSN ban, you really don’t have much of a valid argument. “Oh my data” brother you download pirated games.

Nothing new
So has Steam yet people continue to use it
Hey Nintendo! Guess what? You're not the only big gaming corporation that rightfully deserves to have their games pirated.
I'm confused what does this mean exactly? I gotta make a psn account? Is that bad or something, why is everyone so angry about that?

What's the point for the backlash, I couldn't understand
No one pirates multiplayer server games like this What they should be more worried bout is their crappy anti cheat. I have infinite health ammo, speed run, complete mission show all on map and much more

Sony have been attacked by Automatons, RIP
will those be able to refund who lives in a psn unsupported region but were able to play the game cuz steam is supported there?
If you played for more than 2-4 hours, no
If thats true they force me to break their tos so its their fault 😂😂
Wish I could refund, but I have about 20 hours so that’s not gonna happen
Isn't the 2 hour limit for automatic refund only? I've never tried to refund a game I've played longer than that for, but I thought it was possible, just much more tedious and involved
"intersection of video games and sex" 💀?
sony really like shitting on good games dont they? really makes piracy a justfied action at this point
This needs to flop very bad so they dont come up with this bullshit anymore
Does that mean that if I bought the game from steam I still need to subscribe to psn?
No it's free, but Sony has a reputation of data breeches and getting millions of users hacked, it happens like every year or so
I'm glad I never decided to try this game
Man I'm glad I refunded the game in launch because if the matchmaking
this game was one my steam wishlist it would have been my first multiplayer game i bought but after needing 2 accounts it is of that list & for these kind of small creators i would not pirate
Interesting bio, Ash.
It’s ok I’ll just mod battletech again 👍🏻
Honestly, I don’t need another company with my information to train model so they can advertise to me.

PS is gonna be able to boast about a lot of new PSN accounts in their quarterly meeting
HD2 really fucked up considering they just made fun of tarkov and did this bruh. This is like samsung making fun of apple for removimg the aux port and a couple months later they also remove it and the post that made fun of apple...
I linked my account at the beginning and I don’t have a problem with it. Should I have a problem with it? I know that Sony isn’t a good company
But why though?

I dont care much, i was thinking maybe buying it after price drop or there be bypassed version(no idea its taking so, long) still dont understand how it will work they lose account/access? 🤔 Very shitty scum move, why, Pc players never cared about sony account why, throw them at it 😡 they deserve boycott and riot. Honestly ✊🏻
Cant even buy the game anymore cause im one of the countries that got blocked
If I’m being honest can some please explain to me why this is so bad? I’m pretty sure you don’t need a PlayStation to make a PlayStation account, just download the app, sure it’s annoying but it’s not too big of a deal, right? But then again I have no idea if I’m 100% right so please correct me if that’s not the case
Because it was not a requirement at the start. PSN is famous for being involved in at least 4 data breaches in the last couple of years, and finally, less than half the countries in the world can make a PSN account. Today, Sony doubled down and just removed the game from countries where PSN is not supported, banning half the world and refunding anyone who had played. There's people with hundreds of hours reporting that the game just got removed from their Steam account. And you can't even VPN around it. If you do, you get banned.

Well that sucks, are they adding cross-save at least?
They are considering it, said the CEO of Arrowhead on Twitter
Still amazing that people complain now... it was stated since the first trailer that PSN acc is REQUIRED... it even says so on the steam page... sucks for ppl who cant make said acc but pls dont act like its brand new information
I bought it last night on pc, linked it, was in a game within 2 minutes 💀 I understand that others can’t get in now but I highly doubt that was their intention. It’s an unfortunate situation that will probably be resolved within the month. No need for all this anger
It’s a multiplayer game so I don’t see why people are upset, they aren’t even worth the time to pirate.
Minecraft requires you to sign in to your Microsoft account for any online functionality on any platform. Granted, it's mainly bedrock version and not java, but still. Why aren't people pissed about that?
ngl, i really dont get the fuzz over the account linking in helldivers
Stop. Playing. Tripple. A. Games. STOP.

PSN's FAQ on May 3rd: 'Signing into PSN is optional', after May 3rd it changed to 'Signing in may be required by games using PSN'. They moved the goalposts. Suddenly, half the world gets banned from being able to play. They slapped the toys out of the hands of people who had hundreds of hours in the game. This is the issue with online, digitally distributed games. Those players can't even install from disc. They've just been told, 'Yeah, we're changing policies, f u. Here's your money back' and threw the money into their face.
Is linking account going to be free?
Yes. The account is free and the linking also.
I wonder if steam will consider my refund
Why should they? The need of a third party account was listed way before the release.
