Been playing Helldivers 2 recently and

Apologies. I’m wound a bit tight because of other instances where people actually meant it.

Ya; I got the Review Divers joke from Asmongold. I just wanted to expand on it and make it a bit as seen in the cinematic intro. Regardless of whether or not Arrowhead told people to do this, this still hurts Arrowhead if people are pushing their refunds as they are. I saw one guy had 97 play hours, got a refund for retroactively creating legal agreements that the user was not part of. Wanted out. Refund granted. Unless, that money comes from steam? Not the studio?

it is exactly refunded as it is paid,
aka, the 30% cut steam takes comes from steam
and the 70% the dev received comes from his pocket.

PS: i couldn’t care less anymore if a dev gets hurt, if a innocent studio get thrown under the bus once in a while, so be it,
the gaming landscape became so awful in the last 10 years that you hear of undefendable greed and anti consumer practices constantly and not only from the AAA giants we came to expect that from, but even AA on average jumped on the bandwagon and siphon off capital in larger and larger quantities, EVEN small indie dev companies do it more and more…

I’m no longer naively trying to support anyone, my loyalty is resevered for people I know well enough or personally.
if they can’t make sure i don’t have to take an L… And there’s an easy out? Sucks to be you, I guess
if they are actively trying to impose the L on me? Well, guess who never sees a penny again.

I’ve seen countless examples where loyalty of gamers were exploited
and the number of times devs honored the support of their player base TRULY and timelessly is few enough to count on your fingers.
the math says it ain’t worth contemplating, cut off anyone that treats you with disdain and move on, doesn’t matter if they did so willingly, unknowingly or without choice…

I’m in a similar position. If I enjoy something, I do it. If I don’t, I don’t do it. It’s that simple. “…Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should.” - Leonard Nimoy playing Spock in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, speaking to Lt. Valeris regarding her observation that the Federation was at “A Turning Point” for the worse.

Btw, who is that in your pfp?

A character by the name of “Daisy”, the picture was sent to me by a friend as a joke and I adopted it as my profile picture… apparently we “look alike” according to that friend.

I had to look it up but she is from a YouTube channel called “Gibi ASMR” :smiling_face:

Well, at least a move has been made. Steam removes the listing from their storefront on the countries impacted and may keep giving refunds to people in those countries. Probably from steam rather than Sony but this undoubtedly will impact their bottom line.

Ouch. When Valve steps in, critical mass has been reached.

Over 202.000 downvotes. That’s more than half of the peak launch players 400.000.

There will small fraction of people whom bought steam key separately from another website i.e. Greenmangaming is legit. So won’t be able to refund.

If think about using VPN…Don’t.

While in Pong and Mario are “politics” free, unfiltered violence from Quake or machosexism from Duke Nukem could be considered as politicised for some.
As saying goes, controversy is in an eye of beholder.

I really wish it was so. Living here, I lost almost all hope for my fellow folk’s reason.
