Literally had a self-professed white nationalist on the mod team and as far as I know still does.

As someone who gets comics from TG up and including last night: Shit.

Edit:

This was posted to their telegram channel according to reddit's piracy sub, so everything is fine.

What people need to learn is that "indie game" it's not a synonym for good, or worthwhile. I've pirated tons of indie games which wereamazing and I ended up buying.

I've also pirated tons of indie games that I wouldn't have spent a damn dollar on because they absolutely sucked.

Pirate indie games all damn day. Pay for the ones that aren't flame-broiled ass. Don't reward people who asset flip or put 5 mins of effort into something just because the game is listed under a category called 'indie' lmao

Partially off-topic but I rarely get the chance to tell this story:

My old man was a porn hound. Talking wall of VHS tapes. You know what I'm picturing, that was his living room. Had 4 VCR's hooked up at once with several switches, a few switchboards for colour and audio correction, whole 9 yards. Lost an eye when I was a kid so always wanted to make his viewing 'optimal' for him.

What he'd end up doing was go down to the local Variety Video, rent 5-6 tapes, come home, and dub em over the weekend. Then once dubbed, remove the label with some heat, open the cassettes (the og and the copy he made) and swap the reels so he'd have the original one (which would be ever-so-slightly better quality than the copy he made, again, cause of his sight). Then seal em up, return the copy and no one was the wiser. Did this for close to 15 years before the place closed down (for unrelated reasons) and had his huge wall of big titty wank material for years to come lmao.

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.

Rooster Teeth was a shell of itself for a long time, but those first few seasons of Red vs Blue were a fundamental part of my damn teenage years.
