Judging by how those on this site hate Manjaro, this comments section is shockingly mild thus far. :tongue:

I'd get it right now on GOG if I had the money, but it's gonna have to wait for now and possibly a sale. :sad:

This one actually does have a Native Linux version, although the version on Steam hasn't been updated for a while, as the developer prefers people to use Proton as they previously said due to engine issues it worked a lot better in Proton.
AKA incompetent developers or they're too resource starved. Either way don't care, hard pass. No, I don't care if Proton is good enough. I've got a large enough game library to be extra picky on certain things.

I'm honestly shocked that the English government even acknowledged it. But of course it's just a bullshit response from them anyways. 🙄

HELLDIVERS 2 will soon actually require a PlayStation Network account

Quoting: Linux_RocksThen just do it on their website with the country most relevant then? Like one that speaks the same language, or go with a Japanese, UK, Singapore (Hong Kong for Nintendo), or US account? All of which are easy to get currency card codes for online.

All you need to do is just pick a random address anyways. My Japanese address according to my Japanese PSN, Nintendo, and XBL accounts is the Japanese Communist Party headquarters in Tokyo. While my address for my Singapore (Asian English) PSN and XBL accounts is the Cuban Embassy there, and the Cuban Consulate in Hong Kong is for my Hong Kong Nintendo account. Then my UK PSN, Nintendo, and XBL accounts all use Sega's UK address.

If it's such a problem for someone having to have a PSN account to play a "live service" online only game, then just treat it like a burner account, and only have it for shit like this when you need it.
Oh, I don't need it, it's not the sort of game I'd ever play - I'm just a curious observer. :tongue:

What you suggest is against Sony's TOS, though, as I understand it.
There's no way they're gonna ban out of region accounts. You'd have to be doing something really stupid for it to happen. First, it's hard to prove that you're not who you claim, and second, they're not gonna wanna miss out on the money from importers. I've bought a decent amount of stuff off of the different stores that I couldn't get here.

You also get developers/publishers like Bandai Namco effectively supporting it for western fans with games like Super Robot Wars or even Gundam. Super Robot Wars 30 actually getting a western release in any form (on Steam) was a shock. The past several releases that have had English versions were region-free Asian English releases, with them suggesting western fans import due to licensing hell. Getting currency codes for the DLC is thankfully easy.

Also, sorry if I came off as rude. I'd never wanna be rude to you. I just can't stand entitled crybabies that exist in PC gaming, and this whole "ordeal" is just a great example of that to me.
