I am tired of companies, both Playstation and Xbox, building up their social currency only to piss it away.

This behavior is almost routine. When one has a great console generation, the following generation goes to ♥♥♥♥. Both companies do this.

But now it appears its a race to the bottom. Now it is a new view on treating customers with disdain. When Publishers can remove your right to the product whenever it suits them. Whenever they want to cut costs or avoid royalties or think no one plays older games cause they look ancient.

I would love to say that Helldivers is fun and enjoyable experience, it is. But I can't de-couple the publisher from the experience. And I cannot say that spending 120 seconds, as the CM of Helldivers said, is not hard.

However, I can say that I don't trust Playstation to keep its word, nor do I trust Arrowhead Games who knew six months before launch. Anything they say now, anything they do now, that trust is gone.

As such I already have a back log of great games to play. And I will play those instead.
