    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.

      I’m not denying they made good game, their choice of publishing it with sony is what is soiling it.

          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.
