 Wow Sony just rug pulled Helldivers 2 players in 177 countries by delisting the game from Steam. It seems they want to require people to use Playstation Network accounts and DRM.

Not your software, not your game!

 Fuck Steam
They rugged many more players abandoning support for Windows 7.
Fuck them all centrallized platforms.
They're playing god not giving a shit about their customers. All of them.

 Maybe this is the sign that I should move my game library to GOG instead.
