...future plans.

Like what twisted new bullshit scam will be next?

They are working on their ingame overlay for Ghost of Tsushima right now. Which also requires a PSN account for the coop mode.

Probably followed by a PSN launcher for PC and then paid online multiplayer.

I don't think paid online is gonna happen. The only way I could see them doing it would be if they left steam so valve couldn't refund the game, made an absolutely killer multiplayer game, idk if Helldiver's would even be good enough, and bait and switch everyone after the game got really popular. Even then most of the players would probably just go to another game.

EA did that with Origin. Sucked absolute dick and they eventually gave up on most of it except for some backend stuff. Technically, you can still buy games through New Origin, but they cross publish it all on Steam now.

EA took their games off steam, but only to recover retail fees, they supported refunds well before steam due to the BF4 fiasco.

What was the BF4 fiasco? Bad launch?

[–] ScreaminOctopus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Probably the worst game launch in my memory, like the Arkham game that was pulled from steam but it wasn't just broken on AMD cards. Game would crash every 5 - 10 minutes, servers would rarely make it through a match without crashing so your progression wouldn't be saved, performance issues, etc. It took them over a year to get it stable, but after they fixed it it was a great game.

Wow, that is a terrible launch...

[–] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 2 points 6 months ago

Probably not for Helldivers but they sure as hell gonna pull the GFWL on us if they release a big multiplayer game on PC at some point.
