The Helldivers 2 furore is bonkers. If you missed it, Sony, seemingly against wishes of the dev studio, pushed to add a mandatory PSN Network sign-in months after launch on one of their biggest, most popular games on PC, and not only did the community revolt (dropping review score into the teens), but the game is now pulled from 177 storefronts and Steam are issuing refunds (as PSN only works in certain countries). The studio has told players to make their voices heard

Nope, not playing .

I'm waiting for the reviews.

My heart has been broken before (looking at you, ). I'm not willing to buy a game until some multi-week reviews come through.

@thelazywriter agreed: also, the first month of a game's release... feels like buying into a debugging beta now, rather than a fully-fleshed out product. So, by being a , I avoid the heartache of dealing with all of the bugs. :blobfoxcofeglare:
