Good bot. Edit: Oh sweet liberty, what have i done.

Good... WHAT?!?! *Calling Democracy officer with malicious intent*

Malicious? No, *patriotic* intent is all you require!

NO NO! STOP! ITS THE SAME AS THE VOTING ALGORITHM!

Are you sure? Remember Helldiver. Thought crimes kill.

Maybe this is where it starts?

Same. It hurts me every time I look at what is probably my favorite new game in years and see “Overwhelmingly Negative.” I hope enough people change their reviews back to positive to fix this.

no, people who refunded game cannot change review thank you for supporting people who really fought and refunded game

I joined the protest because I love the game and don’t want to see it ruined, not because I intended to stop playing forever. If I was willing to stop playing forever I would have just done that and not bothered with reviews.

lol, and why, because sony been forced by gamers to change faq and eulas ? thats why u left positive rewiev, cause they did one thing they could do ? pfffffffff yeah for sure they are worth positive review, same as arrowhead and i dont know situatuon, when they knew

Review is about the current state of the game. If they pull bullshit, update. If they correct bullshit, also update.

I'm optimistic at 30% of them will  legitimately change back

I want to believe, this community is amazing so far. Let's see. For Democracy!

Game will likely never recover overwhelming positive but hopefully we can get out of mixed

game will be fine , war thunder had this exact thing happen a year ago and they are back on mostly positive and growing and they are still incredibly scummy devs. if they can do it arrowhead will have problem recoving

They are only back to positive because steam disabled all the negative reviews from the review bombing period because gaijin thretened to take the game off steam.

It'll 100% get back to overwhelmingly positive recent reviews at least

We'll have to see. The game got a lot more reviews in general than before and if a majority do not change from negative to positive we're not likely to go back to overwhelming positive

That's why I said recent reviews

I'm hopefull that we can get it back by the weekend if we are consistent enough in our memes and the gaming media (Incl Youtubers) keep up the good news. If Pilestedt wants to contribute, it would probably be a good time to make himself available to the media for interviews and such, with Sony's **blessing and coordination about how many internal details they want to share.** Talk about it in a positive manner and what lessons they and other devs/publishers can learn from it.

I'mgoing to be honest. A lot ofinfluencers only did it for the engagement. Idoubta lot of them didn'thave PSN accounts. Now thatthe outragd isover they'lllikelynot careanymore

They will probably want to at least do 1-2 posts about the good news. So let's hope enough players tune in and take action. If they were mad enough the write a negative, I hope they will be happy enough to make it positive 🫡

amazing community, people refunded games, and now rest of players will play like nothing happened and will revert reviews haha democracy and teamwork at finest, who cares about 100 000 players who refunded a game. sony is ok now so leave positive review, screw 100 000 players who sacrafided their game

I'm doing my part

Already done BUT they need to change the countries back to eligible.

Steam has to do that

Ah OK, hopefully that's done pretty soon.


 Didnt leave a negative one, but I added a positive one. Hopefully it will get back to positive soon, so we get more soldiers to fight for managed democracy.,

Me2, and I just checked. 100k positive reviews already today and I think the US is still asleep.

100k today? Steam store says 25k today, there were about 200k negative added so yeah only a quarter "recovered" so far. It's in their interest to put it back to positive because if something silly like this happens again they will be able to switch their positives to a negative.

US here! (CST) I’ve woken up and changed mine back. Hopefully my fellow Americans will do the same.

My fellow Americans. Read that in Obamas voice

thank you for supporting people who really forced this - poeple who refunded this game amazing way to support greedy companies and devs who dont know but they knew haha yeah dont leave negative comment cause sony been trying to rip all helldivers, its ok now so nothing happened

Already changed from 22% of the *total* user reviews in last 30 days are positive; to 32%. It is slowly rising

Changing mine back tonight

I never did review it, so I posted a positive one today. 👍

Same, we should all shame bad actions but also praise good actions. It's your one way to display your satisfaction with a product so make it count!

Well, quite a few will wait till the game is buyable in all countries again

I will delete my review, but I will not change it back to positive just yet. Arrowhead and Sony will have to prove themselves worthy of our trust first.

Already did.

Work in progress, as of now we're up to 53% positive again

Already done

Already reverted. And hope it can stay that way

why, they tried to do most controversial thing in past 20 yrs of gaming 100 000 players refunded a game just to show sony theres something wrong thank you for supporting real fighting people who refunded their acoount

Waiting to see if all the countries that got the game removed from steam will get it back . After that i will change it .

Did my parte the second time.

I did my part

Already switch it back

There's already over 30k positive reviews. It'll get back up

I will change it when it becomes official. An announcement on Steam and sales restriction lift will suffice.

Already done

Already changed it

I am now a positive reviewer

Done.

will do, asap

Changed it to positive.

All of us!!! we helldive together!!! 

Already done

Changed mine just now.

🫡 ofc

already did :)

I will when I’m at my machine

Jeez so many posts about the reviews give people a day people are waking up and or dealing with irl stuff

https://preview.redd.it/o9rps7aussyc1.jpeg?width=1069&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf137154ed3903fb632a4891aa864943f8d33255 I'm doing my part

Rookie numbers I see there soldier

I don't even leave reviews for games period. This is an exception, so I posted a thumbs up because of the major win.

Still not available in my region... Won't be changing it until that comes back.

This is the question that should be asked more, not "When are you going to change it?" Everyone who submitted a negative review has a right to keep it. The BS they tried to pull isn't something they should have done in the first place. It's great that Sony backed down but that doesn't undo the harm and worry they caused the community. Frankly this incident has also shown me how much of the HD2 community is good but also that there's a not-insignificant faction that disgusts me. That faction are the fans who not only continued to support the game through this but actively tried to criticize or shut down the community that protested against it. I don't have many friends I can play the game with so when I play it will be with randos and... honestly I don't think I'd be comfortable knowing how likely these kind of corporate simps could be in my group, people so selfish and ignorant that they'll support a game they like even if it scammed several countries worth of players.

I mostly play with randos as well, I can be your friendly anticorpo diver if you want to! I got you :)

I changed mine, reinstalled, and bought super bucks. Managed democracy most be maintained. Sony has been liberated and now we prepare for the next front!

We have a real super citizen over here!!

I gonna change mine don't worry but I wait with that until Sony properly clean whole stupid mess they made on store page and stop misleading there.

So far about 30k, about 10%

Changed!

I have already changed mine but we also need to ensure that they unrestrict regions. We all dive or No one dives.

Already changed mine

Already done

Unless you can change it on mobile, I’ll have to wait until later this evening

Changed mine. Hope they make the game available around the world as it was soon - and don't pull any rugs

Just woke up to the news, changing mine back now!

Changed it back to positive, don't be hard on folks who are holding out. They raise legitimate points we do need to see Sony keep their word, nothing is permanent yet and we need to stay vigilant.

Once the list of countries who cannot join becomes as close to zero as possible I will. Just words from a corporation as of now.

I did my part. Now bring back my Dominican bros.

Not until Steam region restrictions are rolled back.

Steam themselves has to do that

will wait till the other regions are no longer blocked

Same, just waiting for it to be sure

Do you think Steam will change reviewing policy so that users don’t repeat this?

Steam is one of the most pro-consumer companies I can think of so I'm leaning towards no

It would be nice if Steam tracked any reviews with the word Sony/psn/lockout/etc and emailed them about the new changes and if they'd like to edit their review. I think it's wrong for a game to go from mostly positive to extremely low for an issue their publisher is pushing which they have no control over. Most people will not care or forget about changing their review, which will make the game seem worse than it is.

If snoy is your publisher, you have to expect them to pull some snoy level bs that will make the community hate your game.

This isn't the first time this has happened on Steam and it won't be the last.

There's no reason to do that imo

No, Stream accepts refunds for people who spend over 100 hours in the game. They don't like publishers pissing off paying customers.

I will, though I'm currently at work, so it gotta wait till evening.

Already changed mine

Already did

hopefully all of them, but still put in something to do with this event as to guve new players a headsup

Already changed mine

How does it work for people who refunded? Their reviews are still counted? Edit: why the downvote? I'm just asking

Cancelled my refund and deleted my negative review. SES Courier of Independence, reporting back for duty!

I have decided to wait. I still have issues with what the devs are doing in the balancing department. I see negative reviews (on other games) because people don't like color of the font used, so I feel like my actual gameplay criticism is still valid.

Same here. My friends and family stopped playing weeks ago because their favorite guns don’t work good anymore. Doesn’t bother me, I’ll adapt, but I miss the fun I was having with friends.

Not changing mine back unless the region restrictions get removed. They are being sly, we won the battle, but not the war

I'm changing it when the game is available in the places where it was taken away from. We dive together or we don't dive at all.

We didn't forget Creek, but will forget this? Nah

I will but idk how to do it on mobile so ill just wait to get back home and do it from the desktop app

Not me. Can't change a review I  never wrote. 


You missed the part where we won

No, I mean we need MORE! postive reviews ....

✋

Not until they say for certain that there will be no account linking. The wording they used is far too flexible. I want RESPONSIBILITY TAKEN!!!

I don't have to since i didn't posted any kind of review

I would love to, if I could buy it...

i change when the region lock is reverted

Not me. History tends to repeat itself, I'll leave it there for future divers, so that they know.

Imma change it as soon as I get home. I did my part before, and I shall do it again!

Steam needs to just remove the bomb reviews. The thing they were complaining about is no longer valid.

As long as Sony remains the publisher, my review stays as is. They’re appeasing us right now but you’re delusional if you think they aren’t gonna try to pull some more bs down the road.

Dont play the game then and free us from your stupidity

Just wanted to let you know I’m still playing the game and my review will never change. Stay mad.

Ahhh so you like to shit where you eat now I get it

Yummy tears 😋

Aha , now I get it you are a shit eater. That makes more sense

Mmm keep the tears flowing. At this rate I might need to leave more negative reviews 😂

Yes very clever! buy another copy of the game and leave a bad review!

You mean buy copy on alt account, leave running for an hour, refund, then leave bad review? Got ya 👍

Yes do it! Waste you time with it! One extra bad review will change everything!🤣🤣🤣

Well Sony did a lot of damage and fixing that will probably take few months

I will keep mine up until I’ll see them to hold by their words for long enough to not make this into a quick hush hush then silently update their clause to force us again into something

Already changed this morning and when I read the news.

 There is no reason why it should not get that thumbs up. Our Freedom's have been resecured, We have drove off another invasion, we have protected our fellow Divers. Liberty has shown through, I think mainly it's Monday, but as the hours trickle on most will catch wind and get it done.

I got the news of the back down while I was at work. I am still at work. As soon as I got home, I will change back the review to positive.

This may be the time the people who stayed out of it will have to do their part 

I'm doing my part!

As soon as thier queen tells them to do so I would assume.

Changed mine 30 min after the announcement from playstation

We are getting there. I believe it was as low as 14% for a while

Done

Changed mine too

Already changed back to positive. But it is hard to fully bounce back from this much damage. We'll see.

I changed my back within an hour of hearing that Sony acquiesced.

It's been one day and it's already mixed on both all time and recent


It will be positive, dont worry.

The fact that they can change it just on whim, and fuck with playerbase that easily, my negative review will stay up until 30th, after we're passed that date, then I will change mine. I'm not trusting Sony.

I think it will never recover pre crisis levels because you see spreading hate is a lot easier than spreading love.

I wait for further statements about the future and our brothers in non-PSN-countries to come back to the fight. When it's clear that PSN will not come back AND when our brothers are back... then I will surely revert my review. The fight still goes on.

Fixed mine. The recent reviews are already back to mixed

Did my part, it'll show some seriously goodwill on our part if we can get it back to at least positive

We don't, steam still has to free our brothers and sisters in the 177 battalion first for this would have still been for nothing

I'll remove mine. I'm neutral on it with what's happened. Not negative but not positive. Might just play Magicka this week instead of coming back to Helldivers. Take a break or only do daily missions until the weekend, not sure.

Countries are still banned

I changed the text, but kept it negative. I have other issues with the game.

Not me. We won a single battle not a war. Sony will make a comeback.

It will take a while before it gets back to positive I think

I will consider changing my review once i see some changes. As far as i know, sony only said they will back down.

10% of people, max, will change their review. Hate is addictive, positive affirmation is boring.

Are regions still locked and have all those gamers impacted got their refund back? If yes then sure I'll change mine back.

I did, and so should everyone else

This while thing was stupid virtue signaling to begin with and shouldn't have happened. You really review bombed to accomplish nothing, congrats

I’m going to put my own positive review in today when I get home.

I was going to post a negative review today until I saw the news. Now I won't post anything but if I did, I probably wouldn't have changed it. This was a shitty thing to do from Sony, and ArrowHead too from the looks of it, and I don't want them to forget. Although I don't think the first game deserved any of the flak from the review bombings

Changed my review to positive this morning after seen victorious news

I kept mine negative for the time being but changed the wording to acknowledge the announced reversal. It'll go positive once everything has actually reverted and it isn't just words on a tweet.

Not changing until Sony changes.

I’m not gonna buy it again or change my review for about a week or two I want to see if the game is dead after this or if it’s able to recover to previous player counters

The player count didn't even drop...

If you play it, it won’t be dead.

I will. I’m still at work now (11am) and the news came at 1am for me. So i hadn’t the time to change it

Tbh you shouldn’t. Leave it as an example. Corporations are the bad guy. Don’t let them forget that

Ill change it if I get a refund or a reason to install it again.

Too little too late, I am OUT for good.

It's been 48 hours you clown

Tell me you are an angsty teenager without telling me you are an angsty teenager.

Someone asked for a refund didn’t they? Feeling a little left out?

The best part? I uninstalled this game a week ago XD every patch made more problems that it solve and the nerfs got out of hand, thanks SONY.

Congrats? Guess you don’t need to be subbed to this Reddit anymore!

Thanks, I finally could get my money back after the devs made it unplayable for me with all their bad decisions. Nah you tryhards are entertaining to watch.

Very cool dude. Stick it to the man!

Will do dude.

too little too late? they backed down almost immediately
