Helldivers 2 Now Requires a PlayStation Account 😡

Its even worse. A lot of people are concerned because Sony has frequent data breeches and customer data was leaked many times before. However even if you ignore that, many people can't even legally create PSN account, because its unavailable in their country (most of africa, many european countries) and if you use VPN, then Sony can ban you for using wrong credentials.

Arrowhead: our concurrent player count is pretty good!
Sony: AAND ITS GONE!
Arrowhead: wait what?

Also they said this is to "punish griefing" despite the fact the community hunts down griefers with a passion.

As a playstation player i think this is really stupid i have made a lot of friends and enjoyed playing with randoms from pc. Doing this is just going to kill the playerbase.

Forgot the part where the players said “LOL NO?” and review bombed the game and then Sony gave up.

The community pushed back on this like a Major Order.
And just like every other Major Order, this was rolled back within 48 hours

You forgot the part where we said, “We’ll see about that… *over 176k refund requests in 1 week*” Sony: “We made a mistake”

At this point it's not even a surprise. Every bloody game corporation with a multiplayer game wants you to link an account. Wanna play Street Fighter 6 online? You need a Capcom account. Wanna play Assassin's Creed? You need a Uplay account. Wanna play Jedi Survivor? You need an Origin account. Wanna play COD? You need an Activision account. Wanna play Diablo IV? Need a Blizzard account. Why do you need an Activision account AND a Blizzard account despite them being the same company? Because screw you, that's why.

Sony: *makes a game about spreading democracy.*
Players: *love it.*
Sony: *forces players to link their democracy to a PSN account*
Players: *democracy the hell out of the downvote button*

PlayStation: “Because I said so”
Does he think he’s my parent or something?

“I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further.”

Glares in ODST*

Recent update: SONY RETRACTED THE PLAYSTATION LINK REQUIREMENT! It was announced a few hours ago on 5/5/2024. There was a massive move by players in the Discord, reddit, and other sites to change their negative reviews back to positive.

Both to support the game again, show their love to the devs for helping convince Sony, and to bring in more users into the amazing community of Helldivers.

"Where did our playerbase go!?"

“Glares in ODST” made me chuckle and idk why😂
