Attention Helldivers, Due to technical issues at the launch of HELLDIVERS™ 2, we allowed the linking requirements for Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account to be temporarily optional. That grace period will now expire. See details below in this post. Account linking plays a critical role in protecting our players and upholding the values of safety and security provided on PlayStation and PlayStation Studios games.
There are a lot of complaints about this, but the two most legitimate ones are:
PSN accounts are not available in every region that Steam allowed Helldivers 2 to be sold in, so some people are going to lose access to a game they’ve paid for and have been playing for months
Sony has a bad track record with protecting users’ data, and many people do not want to give Sony more access to their PII
Yea and that first one should be enough to require Sony to issue refunds to those impacted. The second is personal choice and opinion I guess, if you worry about those things then this is a problem.
