sony https://twitter.com/SteamDB/status/1787016207364657340 the PC version of Helldivers 2 from Steam in 177 countries after confirming that in a few weeks a PlayStation Network account will be required to continue playing the game.
The affected countries are, initially, all those in which the Sony online service is not available, and in which therefore the account that will be mandatory cannot be created.
Right now the plan is that from May 30 you will need to log in with the PSN account, and that “the Steam account and the PlayStation Network account” will be linked from June 4.
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead explained that this requirement was made optional at launch due to technical issues, but that the “grace period” had ended. Sony revealed this week that it is mandatory to have a linked PSN account even if you play on PC, which has generated the ire of the community.
The controversy has been such that the game has received more than one hundred thousand negative ratings on Steam in the last forty-eight hours. The thorny issue of returns is not entirely clear; There are those who say that Steam is making them, while in other cases it is explained that they have been rejected.
The CEO of Arrowhead, Johan Pilestedt, apologized to the community yesterday, although in his message he did not give the impression that there was a change of plans due to the decision to make the use of the PlayStation Network account mandatory.
This, however, has changed slightly in recent hours, when https://twitter.com/Pilestedt/status/1787073896560165299 that “we are talking about possible solutions with PlayStation, especially for countries without PSN. Your voice has been heard, and I am doing everything possible to talk to the community, although the final decision is not mine.”
