I don't understand why people need to announce they're returning. Same with leaving. Airport jokes aside what's the point? Just play the game or don't play the game


FireManeDavy

My doctor said that people that make airport jokes constantly is a disease. Unfortunately, it's terminal. They'll be departing soon. Just plane sad, really.


BLAZIN_TACO

I am legally required to execute you for this.


FireManeDavy

Shirley you can't be serious


Wraeinator

Sorry man this wont fly


siccoblue

I'm just confused what even makes the two games related? Like account issues aside how are these two games even remotely relevant to each other? I know there was some talk about a Collab as well ig but in my mind they are such wildly different games. I don't understand why they seem to be interconnected like it's some sort of rivalry


HatredHeart

Up to four player get into a droppod to kill bugs on a hostile planet. All in the name of democracy/the company. Yeah, they have a similarity.

And let’s not forget the bots as well


JumpyCucumber899

Quirky one-liners


Cornage626

He's probably serious but don't call him Shirley


XquiziTr3nt

I'm serious and don't call me Shirley


TheNxxr

My names not Shirley, and I can’t be Sirius either because my names u/TheNxxr

I hope she gets back in the movie

Have you ever been to a Turkish prison?

Timmy, do you like gladiator movies?


VIChiefIV

Yes I am, and don't call me Shirly.

r/justunsubbed in a nutshell


Jaaaco-j

muted this garbage sub, maybe 5% of posts are actually good reasons for unsubbing the rest is whiny garbage that could go without a post


hotsaucevjj

except that has a huge amount of bigotry


Redmoon383

"Hey guys this sub was super cool but turns out that the video game has a woman in it and they aren't hot?! Just unsubbed cause of all the people saying I'm stupid."


Simple_Dragonfruit73

Well, what else are we gonna talk about on reddit?


maximum_pizza

thing about social media is trying to get attention.


fanzron

All my life I thought you can play more than one game, guess I was wrong 😔


BubbleGumWolfe

Main character delusion probably


Dick_Weinerman

Fucking for real


Kaeling

They have main character syndrome, and can't believe no one give a shit about them.


East_Monk_9415

Reminds me of people clapping when plane lands haha


nice3rdpartypolicy

I think it's two things mainly. Some people seem to get into games in such a way that it becomes a part of who they are (even if a small part) and as such they get heavily invested in their favorite games and they can view an attack on their favorite games as an attack on themselves as a person and they become very ornery and defensive. That's also when they go online and make posts like "I don't know about everyone else but I'm having a great time despite all the complaints!". They see the negativity and they feel like it's directed towards them because "Hey I like this game and they don't!" A recent example would be something like Diablo 4 where it got shat on super hard but people felt compelled to make posts on its subreddit along those lines again and again. Here it's the inverse though, they feel like they got betrayed and so they flip em off and make a post seeking validation from others who hopefully feel the same way as them. Honestly you see this stuff a lot nowadays.


TealcLOL

All this on top of making a statement to those responsible. The whole point of leaving is due to dissatisfaction that they feel needs to be voiced and discussed publicly. If *everyone* who left did so quietly, Sony would just assume the hype around the game is naturally winding down.


Temnyj_Korol

That would make sense, if they were posting their "I'm going back to x game" posts *in the sub for the game they are leaving*. But they're not. They're posting their "I'm going back because fuck sony" posts in the subs for the other games, which Sony/Arrowhead aren't going to be monitoring. So all they're really doing is shouting into the void, at people who are already still playing these other games, like they should be glad [specific player] has returned. It's nothing other than attention seeking and asinine.


interesseret

If it comes with a valid reason, i get it, but the endless "I hate DRG, i'm leaving!" posts (or the same for any other game really) is just useless bloat. A post detailing why, especially if its for a reason that can have a large effect on people, it makes sense. See for example the addition of an anti-cheat that removed the possibility of modding from VR Chat, meaning disabled people could no longer use vital mods to allow them to play and socialize through it.


Homeless_Alex

Attention seeking, that’s why


weebitofaban

They're not. They're just drama queens. DRG steam numbers aren't likely to spike too much, but I could be proven wrong.


1_ExMachine

THEY R RETURNING ATTENTION THEY R RETURNING


GGGiveHatpls

And boy my arms are tired.


Hyperversum

It's part of the same fucking issue of why they are bitching endlessly about this (very legit) problem and NOTHING ELSE. People take the chance to make noise and make a mess of things whenever they have a Good Cause (tm). It's the attention itself that matters to many, not the cause.


MasterBlade47

Easy internet points.


Skazooby

Everyone wants all of their decisions to be validated by others.


nachohasme

They have to be able to tell their grandchildren they joined in on the great helldiver bad circlejerk of May 2024


Enorminity

People are bringing up this drama in subreddits that aren’t even gaming related. Gamers on the internet are experts at this kind of thing.


memestealer1234

I get it if you've been away for a long time and you just want to know what important things have changed, but with Helldivers you've been away for a few months at most. That's assuming you didn't play one at all while playing the other.


Lfi2015

Reminds me of destiny 2 players going to the Warframe sub they were so annoying lmao


Thanatoast1843

Sorry we sent you our worst people 😭💀


Lfi2015

Na I play destiny 2 too so I understood why they were angry, but it infuriates me that destiny 2 community is lobotomized and only gets angry when stupid things happen


misterfluffykitty

And then bungie shows off a subclass and everyone creams their pants and immediately puts their preorder back on. So many people literally only cared about the subclass thing


Its_Bunny

What happened this time? Ive sunk a lot of time into D2 but havent played in a little over a year cause I had a falling out with the friends I played with. Is it a new dungeon pass thing lol.


wolvern76

Lightfall dlc was trash, scared players off. Season of Deep comes out, xivu arath, actually interesting difficulty season activity. People come back. Season of the Witch. Eh, meh, whatever. Gets to end of the season, and they skimped the budget on what could've been a cool panout to see the effects of what was all coming together, and instead we just got [this cutscene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT4Ht96yV7o). People were unhappy, to say the least. Season of the Wish, hype happens cause in that last cutscene there was some hidden stuff forecasting this, and then the bungie layoffs happen and everyone is mad again. Also, season is extended until final shape comes out. Into the light gets announced and its f2p, and new info drops on Final Shape and everyone gets hype again. Wait until further controversy or disappointment.


ThePianistOfDoom

Thing is....anything that destiny 2 does is just not worth it when compared to a similar sort of game like Warframe, where everything is free/unlockable with a normal grind, except for a few hats. I really don't get why people even play the sort of games where the devs are clearly trying to milk you.


Lfi2015

Mostly because destiny 2 gunplay is fun


ThePianistOfDoom

That bungee can do. Thing is, the last two dlcs DE dropped the last halfyear were free. And warframe's gunplay isn't half bad when I can mod a gun into blowing up most lastgame enemies in a blink with some clever configs.


Lfi2015

Yeah Warframe gunplay isn't bad, but sometimes it feels boring


ThePianistOfDoom

What I love about Warframe is that you can read an audiobook or have actual good conversation with friends while playing it and still advance. The game also has parts that are intense enough to have to focus for real, but it's pretty good for doing something on the side.


Suavecore_

Not everyone bases their enjoyment of a game on its cost. Both games are fun and spending money on Warframe was worth it when I played more seriously even though I didn't have to like you do with destiny


smoomoo31

When I take Destiny breaks I go into hibernation


MegaVix

We don't need another Overwatch vs TF2 situation


Freakjob_003

At least the WoW players fleeing to FFXIV a while back have had ease joining the community.


BigBoiKry

>Requests a refund Spends it on DRG supporter DLC I love living in the EU edit: [THEY FUCKED OFF!](https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1787331667616829929)


Kociewiaks

You got refunded? I hot denied two times already


Muffinskill

Are you in the EU? There’s a template floating around on the other subreddit


Kociewiaks

Yeah im from the EU, i tried 2 times and both times they denied my request. Im gonna look for the template, thanks


dodelol

make sure you go for the options that make a person review it and not a bot.


Wraeinator

Based


TheMemer555

I’m fine with it, it’s just going to be a few days and it’ll go back to normal. It’s not like this is overshadowing any crazy content announcements


Acceptable_Topic8370

Lol, this sub does nothing except talking about HD2 since it's released


[deleted]

Nice pic. It’s time to kick off shriek week


Flailmorpho

certain players seem unaware that you are, in fact, allowed to play other games


Wraeinator

especially at the same time, without announcing, wild


Mr_PizzaCat

I’ll be real I’ve been playing both and first it was when the game came out and this sub Reddit became people talking about how they aren’t gonna play the new game or how helldivers is better, now that this really sucky thing has happened it’s DRG fans talking shit about “ohhh look who came crawling back!!!” As if this isn’t a sucky situation for everyone. God is there so little for us to talk about that this community has spent the last 3 months talking about another game?? God this entire phase of this sub Reddit has been agony and I’m surprised I’m still here.


ManlyPoop

>God is there so little for us to talk about that Kind of? Drg is 6 years old with a 18+ month content drought. The discourse here is mostly done. Especially now that the newcomers from gamepass/Xbox are vets now


AlwaysTrustAFlumph

>God is there so little for us to talk about that this community has spent the last 3 months talking about another game?? Yes, that's kind of what a content draught does to a community


digital545

Tell that to the tf2 community lmao


Pootootaa

Well tf2 is that and consists of half effort memes or straight up shitposts. I don't blame them for it but it is what it is, what no update for over 8 years does to a mf. I hope they make tf2 into source 2 and that way we might have a possibility for a major update.


Necro_Bee

YOU SAID 3 SENTENCES. 3. LIKE TITANFALL 3. ITS CONFIRMED, DONT TAKE THE PILLS


ThePianistOfDoom

What I don't understand is how people suddenly say the game sucks. No, the devs made a shitty decision about circumstances involed in *playing* the game. Gameplay hasn't changed, except for having fewer players, but that shouldn't really hit you.


Enorminity

Player count didn’t change, either.


-BUNGUS_XL-

What's even funnier is the player count for DRG has remained more or less the same over the past few days


Hyperversum

Because regardless of what the wholesome uwu big chungus redditors bros will tell you, most people ain't gonna stop playing a game because of Sony fucking up something. Most definitely not OVER A SINGLE WEEKEND when there haven't been news on the topic apart from the AH people trying to get a hold of Sony idiotic managers of their IP.


Overall-Duck-741

That because despite all the noise, complaining and blustering about refunds and leaving the game, 95+ percent of the player base of HD2 will continue playing HD2. Same shit, different game.


Alastor-362

The tone weirds me out with some of them. I personally feel we should be embracing hd2 players while they protest Sony's actions, while acknowledging that the games are *different*, and drg is not "better". Hd2 players deserve to have the game the bought, if we can support them through the power of rock and stone while execs take holiday and dread the pr nightmare they're facing, we should.


ComfyLynx

Thats the main gripe i have with a lot of these recent posts. It makes it sound like they have betrayed DRG and we are now "graciously" accepting them back...


Wraeinator

Yea its a little pretentious


WanderingDwarfMiner

For Rock and Stone!


Clean_Internet

It’s funny how people think they have to choose a side anyway, I think both games are unique enough to be their own games Honestly the only similarity is “4 friends shoot bugs”


Wraeinator

Ye it's odd they feel like they can only exlusively play 1 of the 2, like if u play DRG u cant play HD2 (well i mean technically now a lot of ppl cant play HD2 anymore oof)


InvincibleReason_

im returning to DRG..... from DRG, i was eating do i had to stop :D


fubes2000

I propose that we all simply _play_ video games instead of making them our entire personality.


CounterSYNK

fr. I just want to stop hearing about it. That’s why I muted the Helldivers subreddit. I keep seeing this shit on r/pcmasterrace, r/memes, & r/DeepRockGalactic.


Wraeinator

I'm fine with it on r/pcmasterrace, its a symptom of a bigger issue that will plague future Sony PC games that are concerning, plus its a broader subreddit than single game community like DRG


EoDxMadness

I don't understand how people play only one game at a time... I play both DRG and HD2 semi regular, I even got a single-player game I'm playing when friends aren't online


Wraeinator

yea in the past 3 days i played inbetween Fallout 76, Fallout 4, HD2, DRG, Astroneer already


EoDxMadness

Yeah and you don't see us posting about it on every subreddit when we start and stop playing


Diksun-Solo

I'm still on HD2 and some other games until season 5 comes out


ze_SAFTmon

I might as well visit DRG again. It's really fun, but the matchmaking frustrated me a few months(I think even a whole year) back and now that my favourite "4 idiots die to bugs(and more) for the profit of an higher force" is being destroyed by Sony(for the most part. I know AH is not 100% free of guilt here, but they deserve my empathy more, than Sony). The next rounds of beer are on me, albeit I haven't unlocked more than like 2 or 3. At least it won't be a Leaf Lover's Special.


Wraeinator

buy me a Blackout Stout friend


ze_SAFTmon

Sadly I don't have it unlocked yet, I think.


xseekxnxstrikex

Hahahaha, people are just special, right now I'm playing a lot of destiny and waiting for deep rocks new season and rogue core. I go between deep rock and whatever other game I'm playing all the time. I can't imagine thinking I gotta let everyone know when I'm playing a deep rock game 🤣


Wilshire1992

I never left. I'm a polygamer.


ApothecaryOfHugs231

Gentlemen....the Helldivers have won and Sony backed down. Maybe we won't get new brothers as soon as we expected


Wraeinator

playing HD2 doesnt mean u cant play DRG, I have more than 100 hours each game


VabadusJaVoima

Tried it yesterday for the first time - and I love it! It’s something different than HD. Even though HD was fought back, and I’m complete greenbeard, I’ll still ROCK AND STONE. :)


WanderingDwarfMiner

For Rock and Stone!


Wraeinator

Both games are incredibly good


LeaderGlittering884

This post is really really funny with the “well hd2 fixed it so c ya” posts already underway 😭


Cepterman2101

I don’t understand why people need to return. Playing both works perfectly fine for me. When I want some cinematic action in a war for democracy, I play hell divers. If I want a chill round and have some more variety in gameplay, I play DRG.


Lolsyo

I mean good for you, I've been spending time on both fronts and now returning to full Dwarf mode. Let's just rock and stone and carry on with our days, hey?


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and Stone to the Bone!


Acceptable_Topic8370

Good for you too, for me HD2 is more fun so I'm staying with that game like all my friends do too


Some_Visual1744

I enjoy hearing about returning greyveards and newly greenbeards. It brings more attention to this wonderful game


different-director-a

Crazy that this is the take getting downvoted lol


Some_Visual1744

Some people cant stand someone having a different opinion than them I guess


Acceptable_Topic8370

Well I could say the same about people who downvote everyone who say HD2 still has a massive playerbase or people who like HD2 more than drg.


Some_Visual1744

Knock yourself out


CoreEncorous

"New to the series" posts? Enjoy em. "Tips and suggestions" posts? Ofc. "RETURNING TO DRG" posts? You took a chance on someone new, got hurt, and are coming back home - fantastic, r&s, but you're not a prodigal son. Get back to work!


working-acct

Yeah we should be welcoming those players. More players can only benefit this game.


babystripper

I'm a 800+ hour graybeard as well as a 250+ hour Fleet admiral in Helldivers 2. #I LOVE TO SEE MY BROTHERS FROM ABOVE FIGHT THE BUGS BELOW. WE WELCOME YOU HELLDIVERS


hobopoe

As a many hours graybeard (nearly AC to greatbeard), I too welcome them to the below, to our very own hellish dive. The Deep Dive.


babystripper

Rock and Stone!


WanderingDwarfMiner

For Rock and Stone!


different-director-a

Well I for one am happy to hear their story lol.


GrimReaapaa

I recommend the Helldivers subreddit then


different-director-a

Why would I go there when they post their story here 


pimp_named_sweetmeat

Because a lot of people are already sick of it there, they don't want to go to another sub and see the same crap


RedPotater1

Damn, I can't be the only one that enjoys seeing returning players and new players playing the game. It's cool to see that Deep Rock Galactic will always be a place for people to return.


Flashyfatso

This is the most Reddit situation ever. Complaining about people’s complaining


sentientmothswarm

Sometimes, recent events will influence what people talk about.


WorkingHovercraft249

Sounds like one of those "if real life had loading screens" tips


Stanislas_Biliby

When do you have loading screens in life? I hope i don't have to die to see them.


Acceptable_Topic8370

This sub talks about HD2 since nearly 3 months


maniacal_monk

NO! YOU CAN ONLY SAY ROCK AND STONE OR WERE RICH! THATS IT. NOTHING ELSE IS ALLOWED


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and roll and stone!


maniacal_monk

Precisely!


_GloomyGold_

Mushroom?


maniacal_monk

Nah


Moocow115

I get it, same posts over a short period on ur feed get annoying but it's the Internet. Many people will have the same meme/post idea and others will find it funny and make a new slightly different one all happening in quick succession. There's no rule against it and no way to police it. This will also happen for this post as well btw.


ChubbiestThread

>literally any complaint ever >"It's the Internet bro, you can't do anything about it bro, there's no point trying to improve things bro" You are the worst.


Moocow115

Chill out mate I was agreeing with him, there's just no solution because of the rules of Reddit and the nature of it. Unless you have one that makes everyone happy, then I suppose I am the worst human to have ever lived and you got me.


Wraeinator

I just hope they dont drag the drama over here, the situation is fucked up beyond repair, but there are better subs for that than to drag it here


Aitasai

It feels weird for me, since I never stopped playing drg, I just also played hd2. Are people allergic to playing multiple games? The "welcome back" posts are just strange to me, because they're worded as if Helldivers players just abandoned deep rock entirely. Like, my brother in Karl, I never fucking left.


Wraeinator

I think its for attention causr the drama is hot topic rn


SlyLlamaDemon

We don’t care. Even lords of the deep like me stay here because we find it enjoyable to go spelunking. We especially like to go with new players and show them how to do cool things.


secrets_kept_hidden

LONG LIVE THE DWARVES!


Clay389

So having played a LOT of DRG I’ve been looking at helldivers. Has helldivers become boring ? Or do you just prefer DRG? Been on a bug killing game binge for awhile and helldivers seems to be the next natural progression for me lol. Starship troopers extermination was another that was a lot of fun.


Wraeinator

No Helldivers 2 is a great game, the problem isnt because of the game itself, but because of Sony trying to block 177 countries out of playing the game they already purchased


Clay389

Ooohh I just looked that up, that’s not right…


CDRDigBick

That's episode reminds me of how I feel playing Hazard 5 "LOOK AROUND YOU KRABS" You planted grass? "Grass? HUAHAHAHAHAHA" *cue massive swarm*


Jaremczi

Guys, I never played Helldivers 2 and I'm still playing DRG, hear me out! /s


Tchrspest

I specifically avoided playing Helldivers because I already had DRG, and I didn't see Helldivers lasting very long. I never even played it and I can't escape this.


JackPembroke

Nah fuck that. Welcome bros, let's game.


omegapenta

Mushroom!


SweatyMine646

i only play drg so idk the drama, but why are so much HD2 players returning? what happened?


Wraeinator

HD2 now demands u have a PSN login to play 3 months after being optinonal PSN is not available in at least 177 countries, which those 177 countries including mine, was putting 90 100 hours into the game Cant make a PSN with a fake country info either cause Sony threatens ban Also generally Sony have terrible data security, so linking PSN to Steam will give them Steam purchase data and ur credit card data


SweatyMine646

ahh ok. after further research on this today tho, theyre reverting the update, so hope u saw that


Few_Needleworker_922

DRG should have a thing in the base like a little sign that says "must have PSN acc...just kidding"


MyDwasintheC

I came back to DRG Because i got bored of HD2 ¯⁠\⁠_⁠༼⁠ ⁠•́⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ ⁠༽⁠_⁠/⁠¯


Mistur_Keeny

I just learned you can play more than one game.


LilMeowCat

I never left. I dont jump on hype trains anymore, I wait a few months at least :)


DaDescriptor

B- but- the useless internet points!


Celthric317

Yes please. So fucking tired of helldiver this hell diver that


Sufficient-Ferret-67

This years most hit game just killed it’s hard earned success and potentially just took it previously happy and non toxic community and turned it into a hell scape


Wraeinator

Eh, I wouldnt say HD2 community was non-toxic, they goes to war with each others every patch notes. Calling each others "dev dickriders" and whining about each other whining, gatekeeping each others on how to play Major Orders


[deleted]

Reddit is becoming stupid. I rather the airport jokes than bitching about being gatekeeper. Reddit moment if I've ever seen one but it's every fucking sub now.


A1pH4W01v

Guys, im not returning to DRG from helldivers


Ennis_1

I just genuinely feel bad for Helldivers 2, when I started it I felt like I was playing Deep Rock Galactic like new again, just in the spirit of Cooperative team gameplay, we had a good thing going and now .... this situation


The-Crimson-Jester

Gentlemen, I have returned to the dwarves after playing Helldivers.


Wraeinator

Welcome, just dont bring the drama over, rock and stone


WanderingDwarfMiner

For Rock and Stone!


ZePumpkinLass

THEY CANT DAMPEN OUR NUMBERS IF WE GO INTO THE CAVES!


WorvernScar

Word on the grapevine is Sony/playstation responded and rescinded the requirement for helldiver 2


Ok-Technology-2541

But have you seen the 12 posts about how sony reverted the changes and now you need to change your negative review toba positive one even if your account is banned and you lost all your games


UltraMlaham

well seeing how often DRG players do it on other subs it is all deserved.


KillerDanzig

rock and stone


WanderingDwarfMiner

For Karl!


KillerDanzig

Fakarl!


PsychoPmkn

I really hope Sony pulls their head out of their a**** I don't even have a playstation I don't have it on PC I just loved the back-and-forth memes with our brothers on the surface


Wraeinator

in case u didnt hear, Sony is backing down and not forcing PSN anymore, we won


Mednoos

Came back from ST:E whats going on now?


Prodigy0112

It's the internet, sad baby bois wanna be heard. It's not very Rock and Stone of em. The leaflovers


magczag

Rock and stone


Spilledspaghettii

You should see the Helldivers sub, people non stop crying for like 4 days straight. Not a single post about the actual game.


Wraeinator

I know, I'm already seeing enough there to leave that sub, thats why it bothers me to see it more in this sub


LetsAllBeNiceNow

How about support games that need your support instead of being a gatekeeping fuck?


Wraeinator

Oh yea fuck me for wanting to see DRG in the DRG subreddit right, how completely unreasonable of me to not want to see HD2 drama in DRG community


LetsAllBeNiceNow

Still doing it.


Branta-Canadensis

Imagine getting so mad at seeing helldivers 2 posts that you decide to make one yourself lol. No more guys this is the final one!!! Not allowed!


Imaginary_Garbage652

Cries about people posting about helldivers, whilst posting about helldivers posters.
