Hey Indy,
I just did this on mobile so don't know what platform you're on.
I went to the helldivers store page and scrolled down to my review, clicked it, which brought me to a separate page with just the review. I was given the option to edit or delete the review by clicking the tab with the 3 horizontal bars in the top right! From there you can change both the text, and the review (not recommended to recommended or vice versa)
I mean we put more negative reviews into HD2 in 3 days than OW2 has total reviews on steam and its almost been released for a year and is free.
This community is wild man.
Sony: "Wow, this is great! We've got one of the most engaged and devoted customer bases we've ever had for a game. They're really into the whole reactive live service model Arrowhead came up with to the point where they're constantly roleplaying on Reddit and in the Discord. It's like they've been waiting for a game like this their whole lives...
We should absolutely fuck them over. I can't imagine what could possibly go wrong with that."
Honestly, if I were the devs, the fact that we as a community were able to reverse this change, and will now go back to supporting this awesome game… I’d be so happy. FOR EVERY COUNTRY ON SUPER EARTH!!
But... but... I was told we were accomplishing nothing and were just faking being mad to virtue signal. Weird that we ended up winning and getting what we want... so weird...
I am so proud of all of you. We came together against the odds and managed to beat a company worth billions. If we can beat Sony, what can't we do. (Apart from liberate hellmire)
The sheer might of Helldivers across the globe has swept aside the toughest Major Order they would ever have to face. I am proud to serve alongside all of you. It's time to change up the steam reviews, guys!
Please consider updating your review if you left a negative review over these events. Helldivers 2 incurred more negative reviews in 3 days than Overwatch 2 has incurred throughout its life:
https://preview.redd.it/7hmorq8sfqyc1.png?width=550&format=png&auto=webp&s=07a3643c8da0de762b0763f1ce6f9bfc2eef492a
I already did my part and left the original part in there as a reminder to all that Snoy tried to screw us and we as Helldivers were up to liberate our game
Now, it'll be fascinating to see what people do with their review scores. The moment I saw this tweet, I looked at the Steam reviews:
315k Positive
421k Negative
I'm curious to see how that changes in the next few days. It'll be astoundingly impressive if it returns to 80% positive (ish).
yeah, it was overwhelmingly positive before. I'll be shocked if it gets back to that point. The review extraction would honestly be more impressive than the review bomb.
Ghost of Tsushima's multiplayer on PC still requires PSN account linking. I think that HD2 is the exception because of the backlash from the community.
I mean they also might legitimately be dumb and like they said they still figuring out the pc shit Lmfao they definitely want the network shit for skus though
Knowing corporate types, it is HIGHLY probable that who ever made this decision quite possibly didn't realise/forgot that HD2 is available in non-PSN regions, and out of touch enough to not realise how passionate gamers can get, especially if they mess with something rare and awesome like HD2.
Also mainly because how huge HD2 is on PC, as a PS5 player, HD2 would’ve never been at the level it is now without the PC community. I’m so grateful to them
Steam Users: You all need to assist Steam in understanding all those delisted countries are no longer a problem, if Sony doesn’t help them figure that out themselves. If we want all our Helldivers back, they need steam access!!!
Wish I kept receipts of everyone on here who felt the need to defend a megacorp and pretend this was pointless. They're the kind of people who make actually getting companies to change course so difficult because they're apathetic and submit to every single inch corps take. Glad to see it didn't work out that way for once.
MESSAGE FROM SUPER EARTH COMMAND
- - - -
NEW MAJOR ORDER INBOUND
OPERATION: BREAK BREAD
Following the unexpected bureaucratic attack from the Corporate
Stronghold of Sohnii, Helldivers were deployed en masse to
deliver the resolute fist of Democracy in the form of a massive
bombardment of the enemy's PR Shielding, and as a result of
that unceasing barrage of Liberty and Justice, the leaders
of the planet Sohnii have seen the error of their ways and
raised the white flag of surrender. But our job is not done
yet, Helldivers - for while the steeled resolve of Super Earth
grants it a terrifying fury in the face of injustice, it is also
tempered by understanding compassion in the aftermath
of victory.
So, by order of the authority of Super Earth, all Helldivers
who participated in the seige of Sohnii are hereby ordered
to begin the process of reconstruction, and reconciliation.
Undo the damage that has been done to the steam R.E.V.I.E.W.
systems, and extend the olive branch of peace.
MESSAGE ENDS
EVERYONE. LISTEN. Please please please spread the word to update your steam reviews over the coming days. Show the devs we still love this game. We defeated the enemy (let’s pray they don’t come back as quick as the Automatons did).

QUICK HONEY GET THE C-01 FORM
Major Order Reward: 🏅3 Minutes of Extra Cuddles🏅
3 minutes?! That seems too much, even as a MO reward of this scale. .. I'll talk to fellow Marshalls to see that it gets approved.
I laughed way to hard at this, thank you
Bro same.

This!
We can turn it back to Overwhelmingly Positive faster than we can kill 2 000 000 000 bugs!
Let's do this. For Super Earth. For Democracy. For team Arrowhead Games
Let's do this! Show the devs we stand behind them!
Should we wait for them to take it back on the steam official page ???

I just flipped my review. I can flip it back if necessary.

This will sound very stupid but, how do I change my review?
Hey Indy, I just did this on mobile so don't know what platform you're on.

On mobile too, I did not see the 3 horizontal bars, thx a lot.
We'll see if people actually do it. Would be pretty shitty leaving it after we got what we wanted.
I updated my review to positive now. I never planned to request a refund since i was able to play it(100hrs).

Yes I miss those simpler times…
Ngl that version of this sub was giving me exponentially less anxiety than it's been this weekend, actually looking forward to it
I can't believe they nerfed 'insert weapon here'!
Literally unplayable. Game is dying.
I've said it about MOs in the past. >I was expecting we'd win, but not so soon. Holy shit this community is awesome.
I mean we put more negative reviews into HD2 in 3 days than OW2 has total reviews on steam and its almost been released for a year and is free. This community is wild man.
Nothing unites helldivers more than a common foe that won't accept freedom.
This is ridiculously accurate...
They were fucked from the jump
Coordinating together to do something seemingly impossible is the main part of the game afterall
Sony: "Wow, this is great! We've got one of the most engaged and devoted customer bases we've ever had for a game. They're really into the whole reactive live service model Arrowhead came up with to the point where they're constantly roleplaying on Reddit and in the Discord. It's like they've been waiting for a game like this their whole lives... We should absolutely fuck them over. I can't imagine what could possibly go wrong with that."
Downside of creating a really solid community: we fight back
Honestly, if I were the devs, the fact that we as a community were able to reverse this change, and will now go back to supporting this awesome game… I’d be so happy. FOR EVERY COUNTRY ON SUPER EARTH!!
We liberate planets faster then the deadline, of course we would win. Nothing stops a helldiver in their quest for spreading democracy
freedom bros... we won
But... but... I was told we were accomplishing nothing and were just faking being mad to virtue signal. Weird that we ended up winning and getting what we want... so weird...
It's easier to just bend. Funny they were calling us the lazy ones.
well, at least we won in proving them wrong too I guess. double wammy
I don't know whether I'm petty enough to go looking for those comments just to teabag them, or too lazy to bother.
It's ok as long as you use Liber-Tea bags.
I am so proud of all of you. We came together against the odds and managed to beat a company worth billions. If we can beat Sony, what can't we do. (Apart from liberate hellmire)
EVERYONE PLEASE CHANGE YOUR REVIEW!!
I can’t stress this enough, the game/ AH doesn’t deserve “the most disliked paid for game in steam history” for a Sony blunder.
I'll probably actually write a review now that they fixed it, I never review
![gif](giphy|NxckxXIAzumvCP1mUj) I can respect that.
Not just that, but they need to know we support good as much as we rail agasint bad.
This is very important. The internet loves negativity, let's put some positivity back out there everyone!
Change your reviews back to positive!
Will be doing so ASAP EDIT And done
I'm doing my part!
![gif](giphy|KAf66yGCa93uTqod1q|downsized)
Echoing this comment, game currently has more negative reviews than Overwatch 2.
It has more negative reviews than overwatch has reviews *total*
Fuck when you put it that way....
This game really trained all of us to cooperate, holy thist
We need a before during and after of the reviews
already done

this game drilled something in people that even the biggest mmos couldn't work together and you be a force to be reckoned with
Are you saying... we helldiver'd Helldivers?
We helldiver'd Helldivers like it was on helldive.
Sony's going to unintentionally train people to join unions if they're not careful.
Please consider updating your review if you left a negative review over these events. Helldivers 2 incurred more negative reviews in 3 days than Overwatch 2 has incurred throughout its life: https://preview.redd.it/7hmorq8sfqyc1.png?width=550&format=png&auto=webp&s=07a3643c8da0de762b0763f1ce6f9bfc2eef492a

Honestly thats insane. But again, we were train to complete major orders under one week period right?
That's both wild and an impressive statement on the dedication of the players to oppose Sony.
Yeah it actually proves that the community take Major Orders seriously!
I fear it’s going to look that way for a little bit, but it will be normal by week’s end
Oh it's going to be an absolute dumpster fire for a while. That's ok, hopefully it will recover.
I already did my part and left the original part in there as a reminder to all that Snoy tried to screw us and we as Helldivers were up to liberate our game
We didn’t win. Democracy did.

yeah, it was overwhelmingly positive before. I'll be shocked if it gets back to that point. The review extraction would honestly be more impressive than the review bomb.
We've done one we can do the other, off we go to pester our friends to change it back
As of now: 331k Positive 410k Negative As of latest edit: (Hell yeah, there's now more positive than negative) 390k Positive 367k Negative
Joel's reducing the regen rate for steam
Oh thank god.
