Helldivers 2: Huge development – Sony cancels the controversial change!

A few hours ago it seemed that hope had been lost in his community Hell Divers 2since Sony It began implementing the controversial action, removing the game from the 177 countries where it was available via Steam. The reason is that the company wanted to make using a PlayStation Network account mandatory to play the game. In particular, from May 6, all new players will need to link their PSN and Steam accounts to be able to start the game, while existing players will have until June 4.

As expected, the Helldivers 2 community expressed its displeasure, bombarding the PC version of the title with hundreds of thousands of negative reviews without exaggeration and flooding forums and social media with complaints and backlash. In fact, the game’s numbers started to take a hit, as many people started demanding their money back.

Finally, a few minutes ago, there was a big development! PlayStation broke its silence and listened to the voices of the community, which decided to rescind the change. Yes, PC players will be able to continue enjoying the game on Steam even if they don’t link it to their PSN account.

The new official announcement highlights the following:
