    I used to in the past (back when it was much more common to peruse /b/ and have kiddie porn slapped right in your eyeballs at a moment’s notice…not that its probably changed much over the years lol). Now-a-days I just use it for the torrent board since I’m a data hoarder and they throw up the occasional interesting collection of stuff.

    The tl;dr seems to be:

    After such and such date (end of the month I think? Sometime soon either way) you will be required to sign in with a PSN account in order to play. Some say this was not advertised when the game launched, some say it was (I believe people found wayback machine captures that say it was but I may be wrong. Some people don’t want this, some countries aren’t allowed to sign up for PSN accounts outright (and if they have Helldivers 2 they would then be losing access technically).

    Sony offered up the usual explanation of security and whatnot, which most aren’t accepting that as Valve/VAC do the job of security, leading most to assume it’s a way for Sony to gather more info and data from customers which they can then sell or otherwise market somehow.

    Overall souring people on the whole situation of a bit of a bait-and-switch.


  • Of course, a lot of people will disagree with this approach

    There is not a single person here who is going to talk you out of leaving lmao, whether you stay or go affects no one but you. That being said, you’re a teen and you’re choosing to leave a social media platform due to mental health reasons. That’s quite far from being a bad thing. You’re doing what’s best for you and that’s good shit. You’ve matured further than you think.

    Every Lemmy account will have a Delete Account option located at the bottom of the main page of your settings, not sure if it’s automated or if an admin has to go in to clear em out manually, but trigger it, log out and you’re set!
