So what Sony is saying is that I should just pirate the game since there is no legal way to buy it?

I thought you only needed a PSN account for the multiplayer portion of the game?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, which is why Steam is issuing refunds

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Steam should have done that with hell divers 2 f om day 1.

It hadn't been made a clear requirement at that stage

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was. It was even in the description already

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Evidently it was not clear enough.

Or Valve didn't check every last little detail and expected the publisher to take care of it, until it became a big controversy.

-- assuming it is, in fact, Valve who is behind this change and not Sony themselves.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You answered it yourself. Valve did not adequately check

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That would require Valve to be the reason behind this change, and reading every description for every game is something I doubt they do.

Clearly this is the responsibility of the publisher.
