I guess we know how the RNC is getting their funding for the rest of the year. Wait, it’s Trump running this year. Sorry, I meant “I guess we know how a fraction of Trump’s legal fees are being paid off this year.”
“We have received further reports and questions concerning the changes made to our Helldivers 2 product on PC, and we would like to clear the air on these matters. Please refer to our knowledgebase article for Helldivers 2 for more details.”
The article:
“Why is a PlayStation Network™ account required for Helldivers 2? In order to deliver the best matchmaking and gameplay experience, a PlayStation Network™ account must be used when playing Helldivers 2 on PC.
I bought Helldivers 2, but the PlayStation Network™ is not available in my region. Will I be refunded? We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused, and we are working hard to bring PlayStation Network™ services to new regions around the globe.
Will my personal data be safe if I link my Steam account to the PlayStation Network™? Rest assured, your data will only be used in accordance with the Sony PlayStation Network™ Privacy Policy.
I didn’t need to use a PlayStation Network™ account before May 2024, why do I need to now? Prior to May 2024, a technical issue was preventing the PlayStation Network™ sign-in applet from correctly functioning in PC releases of Helldivers 2. This has since been fixed, and you should now be able to play with other consumers who purchased the PlayStation™ 5 release of Helldivers 2.”
They should be paying me for these top-notch PR non-answers.
Because 5 MB of data is absolutely nothing in the grand scale of things, and it’s not worth wasting a salaried developer’s time to set up automations for purging data from users who refunded on third-party storefronts.
In the gaming industry, or elsewhere? The latter wouldn’t surprise me with micromanglement, but AAA game dev studios are notoriously bad for never having enough time to hit deadlines let alone doing things on top of that.

Tankies have a lot of confirmation bias. Facts alternate to their beliefs that communism is the be-all, end-all of human suffering don’t go over well with them.
It might be if it were actually achievable in the way it was envisioned, but ideal communism isn’t the communism we see anywhere in reality.
From a theoretical point, they don’t count as communist. They entirely dropped the all-important aspect of giving power to the working class.
Both the USSR and China, in their self-described “communist” periods, were ruled with absolute power and directed by a head of state. The USSR collapsed, and modern China is about as communist as North Korea is democratic.
Name a real-world implementation of communism that either isn’t Marxist–Lenninist, or one that is and has moved beyond the “dictatorship of the proletariat” stage. I’ll be waiting.
