The Helldivers 2 community is currently in turmoil as Sony has announced that all PC players must link their Steam accounts to a PSN account to continue playing in a month. Arrowhead, the developer behind Helldivers 2, is clearly upset about this decision, with community manager Spitz engaging in heated discussions with players. Spitz suggested that players leave negative reviews on Steam to voice their displeasure towards Sony’s decision, emphasizing the importance of making their opinions known in a constructive way.
CEO Johan Pilestedt also expressed disappointment over the negative Steam reviews, acknowledging the frustration felt by players. The situation is further complicated by Sony changing the wording on its PSN linking page within the last 24 hours, raising concerns among players. Despite differing opinions within the community, the overarching issue is that players in countries without PSN may be left unable to play the game they have already paid for. The lack of clarity from Sony has resulted in tension between the company and Arrowhead, potentially jeopardizing the future of the game. As discussions continue, it remains to be seen whether Sony will reconsider its decision or if the damage is irreversible.
