  • I still don’t understand. It’s not like it’s suddenly an always online game right? They still have offline mode. I’d be pissed if that disappeared.

    They didn’t add battle pass, seasons, package tiers, and other bullshit to milk players, they just require a sign on to use cross play and the complaint is you didn’t know ahead of time. Would something like that really honestly have affected the decision to buy it?

    Shit like what Helldivers pulled is absolutely a reason not to buy a game cause I’m not putting that trash on my PC. Look what happened with Crowdstrike, I’d rather my PC not get bricked cause of a shitty update. But that’s not what happened here.

    Like I said, I don’t get it, I just think it’s blown way out of proportion.

    If there’s a reason to be annoyed it should be that first lazy ass mission you have to sit/stand/emote through.













  • Because they make more money on licensing than selling the digital copies. Companies that offer a purchase option, like Amazon, usually only sell you the right to access the media through their platform and offer no way to take it out.

    Now as time has shown us they can take that away as well as you don’t actually own the digital content you purchased. For example Sony pulled titles that people bought and thought they owned from their store and offered no way to download the content.

    It’s just more bullshit and corporate greed. Part of why companies aren’t selling physical media anymore is because if you can’t own something they can keep charging you for access to that thing and infinitely double dip.
