Pre-release. No mention of EGS.

Release. No mention of EGS, but requires EGS.

4 hours after release. Update the store page to mention EGS.

I think this has been blown way out of proportion. I don’t get why it’s that big a deal. It allows cross play with console. It’s not like last minute they introduced a dollar bin root kit anti spyware program.

The problem is they didn't tell people about it before the release.

I still don’t understand. It’s not like it’s suddenly an always online game right? They still have offline mode. I’d be pissed if that disappeared.

They didn’t add battle pass, seasons, package tiers, and other bullshit to milk players, they just require a sign on to use cross play and the complaint is you didn’t know ahead of time. Would something like that really honestly have affected the decision to buy it?

Shit like what Helldivers pulled is absolutely a reason not to buy a game cause I’m not putting that trash on my PC. Look what happened with Crowdstrike, I’d rather my PC not get bricked cause of a shitty update. But that’s not what happened here.

Like I said, I don’t get it, I just think it’s blown way out of proportion.

If there’s a reason to be annoyed it should be that first lazy ass mission you have to sit/stand/emote through.
