Yes, it’s on Steam, 300+ hours into Helldivers II as we speak, still fantastic. All we need now is the Illuminate invasion. I’m still curious, however, about the Cyborgs and their role. If you don’t know anything about the Cyborgs, that’s because it’s one of the factions in Helldivers I. Story or lore wise, I don’t know if there’s a link between both cyborgs and automatons or, if the cyborgs evolved into the automatons.

Incoming Transmission … Calling all Helldivers to Take a Stand

The best thing we can do as a Helldiver community is stop playing Helldivers II until Sony reverts it’s decisions. We’ve all been playing Helldivers II up to this point without a problem. Now Sony wants to mandate all Steam players to Link our Steam Account to PSN. If not, we get locked out of a game we paid for. If you truly want to take a stand, stop playing Helldivers II until Sony reverts its’ decision.

All the negative reviews, shouting, ranting, cursing up a storm don’t mean a thing if you continue to play. You have until June 4th to decide. Once they make Linking Steam to PSN optional or just remove it all together, then we can jump back in. Don’t believe me? Stop playing and watch the player base go from 100K to a few hundred people or less. And then lets see what Sony dose.

Are you a Helldivers or just all talk? I’m going to do my part, Helldivers. The question is, are you? To do anything less or nothing at all would be considered … Treason!

End of Transmission … Radio Silent … Static Noise

Incoming Transmission … Calling all Hell Divers to Take a Stand II

A few days ago, I posted on this very forum asking all of my fellow Helldivers, from private and high ranking officers to top brass, to take a stand against the anti-democratic corp. Sony. After all Helldivers raised all kind of hell for Democracy. Liber-tea, and Justice, we, Helldivers have prevailed against The Automaton secret weapon knows as Sound Of New Yabu aka. SONY. This weapon was developed by the Illuminate, in full use by the Automatons in an unknown location in our very own home of Super Earth.

Thanks to Super Earth’s Government and the Helldivers rasing their voices all over the internet, flipping reviews from Mostly Positive to Mostly Negative, It is with great honor to let all my fellow Helldivers brothers in arm know, that we, for now, have won the battle against this anti-democratic corp.

A message was transmitted from this entity from a social site called Twitter/X. The following is a direct quote.

Directly form Sony’s Twitter page.
PlayStation
@PlayStation

Helldivers fans — we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, WILL NOT BE MOVING FORWARD. We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans.

This is a small victory, Helldivers. We’ve won the battle the the war continues. Sony say they are “learning” what is best for PC Players? The answer is easy … “WE DON’T NEED YOU TELLING US A DAMN THING”!

🚨WARNING🚨, this could be a trap to ease tensions. Stay vigilant Helldivers, that’s an order! Anything less would be considered … TREASON!

Celebration’s over maggots, get your asses back to work! MOVE OUT! We have Terminids and Automaton trash to take out!

Not that I think about it, these two sentences bother me. Sony is not moving forward with the plan to have Steam Players link there Steam Accounts to PSN. Yet, they are trying to figure out another method to impalement or can get away with without pissing off the entire Helldivers II PC player base. I just don’t see how since it’s two different platforms with the ability to turn off cross-play.

I know that some Community Manager, like the Baskinator (by reputation), are hell bent on banning players. Yet, if Sonny found a work around, how would that affect a PC Player that can turn off corss-play? Would that even matter? Team Killing, for instance is enabled and Arrowhead refuses to disable it, That’s just one example and I can come up with dozens of scenarios.
