"Helldivers fans – we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward.
We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans."

All Sony had to do was make account linking optional and give a cosmetic to those who linked, and there would have been zero issues.
Mojang strategy
Just FYI, Mojang has completely locked down all accounts that did not migrate, and they are literally impossible to retrieve.
They did give people 3 years of advance notice that would happen, to be fair. Much better than the one month warning this would have been.
Exactly. If they’d gone with the carrot approach rather than the stick, I bet way more people would’ve just gone with it for way less fuss
I’m confused, wasn’t Sony against crossplay for decades?
I linked mine because I want to play with my little brother on PS5.
They realized what a mistake that was and have been moving to correct it in recent years. Though not always intelligently.
