Still no review bomb cape or background card

added never

It's never happening.

[Jammerz Skip]

the devs said they will add it once the banned 100+ country's get the game re-listed.

which probably will be never honestly.

They're either hoping people forget or waiting for a case to clear. There no way selling to all those countries and then rug-pulling isn't fraud.

theyre cowards who will under no circumstances draw any attention to the fact that consumers can collectively tell companies to go F themselves and theres a good chance that they will have to

Piles did say he thought it was in bad taste to release it, given so many countries are STILL banned. It's been release ready for months.
Rock and a hard place, I think their window to release it's gone especially since I can't see Sony ever reneging on the region lock.

Seems like an easy win to do precisely that, though. Then again Japanese companies can't seem to stop screwing up lately, so you're probably right.

I sympathise with AH a bit, cos realistically they prob hoped the backlash would tip Sonys hand and it didn't really do much As you say, Japanese companies do enjoy shooting themselves in the foot.

They said they are in active negotiations with sony to add back the blocked countries. They dont want to release a cape celebrating victory until we truly have won. and besides, releasing a cape essentially mocking sony while being in active negotiations is not the best idea.

Yeah but the decision causing all of this was by Sony. Also you'd think they would love making enough to let this slide.

It was a reminder of a darker time.
I guess AH just want people to forget about it.

[Silly frog]

Why would they want to forget about the time their game made history for being so good that the fanbase was willing to fight a triple a company for it?

[Quadsword]

Game still hasn't been relisted in all the countries it was pulled from. It ain't getting added until that happens, which it sadly never will since Sony wants those new PSN accounts to harvest data from.

Idk man, It's might seem great for us players.
But I don't really think that was a happy time for AH at all considered AH is still a business partner with Sony at the end of the day, and throwing your partner under the bus (no matter how scummy they are) is a bad look in business world.

Plus that cape is just a "F you" in Sony face.
Which is probably not a good idea for it to exist at all if they still want to work with Sony in the future, so it just smarter for them to just wait until people forget about it.

If you're going to bring up the great war against required PSN don't forget that there's a ton of people who bought the game who've lost access due to country restrictions and essentially had their money stolen due to denied refunds.

I'm living in one of those affected places, as of today I can't access any of the 2024 Sony games on the Steam store page, Helldiver included, however if I were to own a PS5 and subscribe to PSN, I would be able to buy those games on their playstation store, for the console, which is perfectly feasible where I live without resorting to cheeses or VPN, they sell the plastic crap and the sub.

To the credits of Arrowhead, I can still play, despite being REALLY unable to link my Steam account and PSN account for reasons beyond me.

As long as it stay this way and the people like me who own the game from before the Sony drama can keep playing, I wouldn't consider it a "fraud", but it certainly sucks for all the people that can't buy the game now though.

I certainly hope they don't forget, because if they were to steer away from the warbond formulae and release a regular DLC, I wouldn't be able to grab it :)
