    Did SONY ever open up sales to coutries with no PSN service? Until they do this, I don’t believe that SONY has learned much from the shitstorm that hit them back then. Untill they start selling Helldivers to countries that aren’t able to link PSN accounts, I will always suspect them to use tricks, like giving game winning benefits to users who link their accounts

      No they haven’t and HD2 is the only game for which they removed the requirement for PSN.

      I’m 100% sure when player count has dropped enough they’ll add PSN back.

      No, and it’s really ridiculous that their singleplayer games that were playable in my country are no longer available. Oh well, we’re pirating them anyways.

      I mean isnt steam a third party too? I agree that having to use two third -party applications to play a game is too much. Just try to remember Steam used to be hated too until they became indispensable.

        It’s fine if I buy it though steam, but if I buy a game on steam, I’ll be pissed if another launcher pops up. For no bullshit at all, GOG is better because it’s DRM free.

              Try it for yourself then

              If you have a DRM free game on GOG or Epic then you can launch the application directly

              If you have a game with DRM then on GOG you need galaxy and on Epic you need the launcher

        I just want an .exe I can throw into whatever folder I want, that launches the game and doesn’t open a launcher or storefront(steam included). I don’t care about all the useless achievements and progress bullshit, not to mention tracking data. I buy on GOG when possible, but not every game is on there.

        If you buy a game on steam they are the second party. The developer/publisher would be a third party.

    Unhappy that I can only buy it on Steam, it’s not on EGS for my region

    Glad they went with EOS to give them crossplay support

    Edit: the account was only for online not offline, what a misstep removing it
