Why didn't everyone review bomb halo for requiring a xbox live account? Am I missing something

[Timayy]

Why are we getting so pressed over having to need a (free) PSN account? Do we not have 5 minutes out of our day to just simply make an account? What are we hiding? Before you say "not every country can make a psn account", this is just not true and made up. Someone please enlighten me on the topic

It seems like we have some microsoft biasm

You dont own the game, why do you care?

The difference comes from announcement of requirement. For example, Steam allows the publisher of a game to indicate what accounts or equipment is suggested or required, or languages involved. Halo was up front about that element, and Microsoft had been blurring the lines between PC and Xbox for a while at that point.

It was more or less hidden in the Small Text sense, in that Sony could have made it a lot more obvious and spoken about it more through the storefront page itself. As a example, Final Fantasy 14 is up front about the account and game time requirement.

This happened to be the straw that broke the camel's back

I don't own Halo, why would I review bomb it? If I wanted to play Halo I'd get one of the old games and mod it lmao.

im genuinely curious why halo didnt get the same treatment. seems pretty unjust. especially considering that this is a much smaller dev team

Psn just doesn't work in many countries. It's simple. If my helldivers friends can't dive with me, I won't dive either! WE DIVE TOGETHER OR NOT DIVE!
The game is built to achieve a common goal. How can you leave your diverfriend behind if the corporation takes away his right to play? It seems to me that we have an undemocratic traitor here guys

Halo has always required an XBox live account for online multiplayer, that's nothing new.

Helldivers 2 spent months with PSN link as optional.

Not hard to understand the difference.

Why don't you ask on the Halo forums? There is a higher chance for you to get an answer.

Bruh, there are dozens of posts naming them all. Google Helldiver 2 PSN, you will get your answers.

Halo didn't sell a game globally without mandatory account integration from day 1, not enforce it for a quarter year while more global players came in, then suddenly said YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO ASSIMILATE and ultimately bricking copies for anyone outside of ~70 specific countries.

And there are people who are still having a cow over needing to make an Msoft account for halo and have no interest in doing so. The difference is that people didn't feel bait/switched after it was effectively proven that steam accounts were functionally fine.
