Among the myriad scourges that make playing games in 2024 so tiresome, the need for multiple different accounts to various services ranks high. Helldivers 2 players have just been told by Sony that come next week, they’ll have to link their Steam account with a PlayStation Network account, something it’s been working fine without in the three months since the game launched. This is inconvenient, but perhaps not the end of days.

It was, says Sony in a statement on Steam, the result of “technical issues” that the PC version of the Helldivers 2 on Steam did not need to be linked to a PSN account. Or as the statement puts it, “we allowed the linking requirements...to be temporarily optional.” That “grace period”—an odd phrase to use given players weren’t responsible for the technical issues—is now coming to an end, and from May 6 all new players will need to connect the two accounts.

Current players have another month before they need to faff about, with a deadline of June 4.

They will always take things away from you under the guise of "safety and security"

Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Steam users are disgusted by Sony, just like Sony users are disgusted by Microsoft 🤣🤣

Not sure what the big deal is. To play Sea of Thieves I had to create an Xbox account and I didn't throw a tantrum. People are such babies over this.

I’m a gamer and I’m not mad over Hell Divers 2. Hell, I don’t even play Hell Divers 2.

It's definitely going to be much harder for people who can't access the PlayStation network considering that only 69 countries only have access to PlayStation Network and everybody else outside of those 69 countries are screwed. Meanwhile Microsoft Network has a reach of 180 Countries out of 193 countries in the world today. So it doesn't make sense to make a corporate move like this for Sony considering that they don't have a far reach like Microsoft.

The way these YouTubers make linking an acct seem like the worst thing a game company can do is so weird. I feel like every time I'm starting a game, I'm logging into some publishers network like EA servers, Ubiplay, RE Link, Rockstar Social Profile. It logs you in a few seconds, what the big deal. I'm not playing Helldivers, so maybe it's different. Gamers are really coming off as complainers. I think these channels are really just an outlet for gamers to vent. Basically every person says this sucks, I want a refund, and Sony sucks. How the PS5 is doing well with all these haters is beyond me. Just don't play the game and go read a book. It's better for you.

Mandatory accounts are a pain to begin with, but this example is worse simply because of the bait and switch. They mention this ‘grace period’ being over but they never told people before they purchased the game that they would eventually require this or that there was any upcoming end of grace period. That’s the real issue I have with it. It’s super shady. They get people playing and then it’s suddenly stop playing the game you’ve invested dozens or hundreds of hours in or sign up for our service. If they had let people know at launch that this was the case it wouldn’t be nearly as big an issue.

Seems they don’t want to see many hackers in helldivers 2 and see them ruining the game.

I think That GTA 6 will probably be same too. 😔

I think people are overreacting. We all know companies want peoples to join into their ecosystem. At least Sony told this in advance. Actually I am getting tired of people complaining about nothing

Watch_Dogs Legion did this too and it was so annoying! It made the game crash like crazy. So ridiculous!

I play on PS5 but I would be annoyed too. I never make accounts for EA, Ubisoft or any other companies when they ask.
