To be fair they did make a great game, and the current drama has little to do with the actual game.
I am not defending them, I understand why people are cheesed off, I just don't think it affects how good or bad a game is.
It doesn't matter if you made the best game ever if people aren't able to play it.
I totally agree. I feel bad for those who aren't and I think it's wrong.
I'm not denying they made good game, their choice of publishing it with sony is what is soiling it.
As someone else in another thread pointed out, the helldivers IP is owned by sony. They may have no choice.
That is really just flavor, you could always make a very similar game with a custom background story. It is not as if Helldivers is some huge, well-known IP like Star Wars that significantly contributes to the sales figures.
I get ya. It sounded like you were saying they were unable to make great games because of the partnership.
I agree that the current situation is shit and I feel bad for those who can't play it anymore.
I wonder if the game would even exist without the partnership.
I mean, have we heard whether the dev decided to make this game and then licensed the IP from Sony, or whether Sony contracted them explicitly to make a Helldivers 2 for them?
