Earth Defense Force 6 just launched this morning on Steam and already at "Mostly Negative" on steam, due to requiring an Epic Games account. This was not communicated properly until hours AFTER the game came out and people started to complain about it, and it was not mentioned on the steam store page until the store page was modified earlier today. Supposedly it is only for multiplayer but there are people reporting that they cant even play single player without it.
"If Helldivers 2 is EDF 6, then let's just literally do everything that Helldivers did."
"But sir, there was a real uproar about..."
"DO. LITERALLY. EVERYTHING. HELLDIVERS. DID."
