HELLDIVERS™ 2 - HELLDIVERS™ 2 Account Linking Update - Steam News
store.steampowered.com
UPDATE 5/6/2024: Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward. We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans.

Well, well, well. I see Sony wants to kill all the goodwill their game has garnered with this linking bullshit.

    Whelp, it was fun while it lasted… Good job sony.

    Apparently this is already a massive problem for people who are in countries that PSN is not avalible in, using a VPN to create an account to link to has resulted in getting banned. Also seeing as most players are already past the Steam refund window, this is utterly unacceptable.

    I dont want to blame Arrowhead too much, this reeks of partnership/publisher meddeling. If they made it so that linking account is not required if crossplay is disabled, I would find that acceptable.

    What info are you giving Sony? Your play time and voice chat while playing? The game always said psn account required…

        Maybe I’m just not a dumbass. The game was published by Sony and it said a PSN account was required before anyone bought the game. “Surprised Pikachu face” a psn account is required.
