They denied my refund. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The standard rules are no refunds for games played more than 2 hrs. The first time you ask for a refund it’s handled by an automated system. Ask for a refund again, and an actual staff member will review. So just try again.
This is also part of the default refund policy on steam too yeah. Less than 15 days and less than 2h of playtime.
You might’ve gotten an automated denial due to exceeding the standard threshold for refund eligibility. Make another request until it gets human intervention.
They did this to me with Destiny 2 as well. Dragons Dogma II got refunded no questions asked though.
Think playtime plays a factor, though for live-service games I honestly feel like it shouldn’t.
It should be, “Refunding Helldivers 2 after playing more than 2 hours.”
I guess I shouldn’t even look at what game this is since it’s not going well? Lmao
It’s a great game that Sony just casually obliterated. It’s really a shame.
Did they? If the game is owned and published by Sony what part did Arrowhead play. I’m not saying you’re wrong, I genuinely don’t know. Like doesn’t the publisher(Sony) handle all of this?
Helldivers 2 is pretty fun when it works, but the game is racking up technical debt at an alarming rate. There’s been several updates and balance changes focused around fire damage, except the fire damage over time effect only works for the player hosting the game, and that bug has been in place for months. There’s still tons of matchmaking bugs and crashes, such that you sometimes spend 15 minutes just trying to actually play the game. Arrowhead is aware of these technical issues, but has mentioned that they cannot fix them because pushing new content is a higher internal priority than maintenace, and their team is too small to effectively do both.
Honestly I wouldn’t just avoid it, but I’d avoid any Sony published multiplayer title in general moving forward. It seems a lot of them end up in this situation where the game prioritizes adding more monetized content to the detriment of anything else.
Are we not into Helldivers 2 any longer?
Sometimes we have to make sacrifices to uphold our principles.
Not getting abused by Sony and it’s ilk Is just one of the many principles that we can uphold at minimal risk and for minimal cost.
Oh, found it. Sony decided post-hoc that:
a) You’ll need a PSN account to play Helldivers through Steam, even though why would you need a PSN account?
b) If you’re in a region where you can’t create a PSN account, you just can’t purchase Helldivers anymore, or play it if you’ve already purchased it.
Cool yeah pretty scummy. I thought this meme format was usually used to make fun of people for petty power tripping, but in this case, it seems pretty clear that it’s an appropriate form of protest.
Nah, it’s simply that the game is overrated so the devs had to do something stupid to bring everyone back down to earth.
I mean it takes less than 20 hours of playtime before you’ve already seen everything the game has to offer. It’s a very repetitive and predictable game. For me to consider a multiplayer game worth my money, it needs to provide at least 250 hours of enjoyment minimum.
