God of War Ragnarok is struggling on Steam thanks to the same problem that hurt Helldivers 2

God of War Ragnarok Steam reviews are ‘mixed’ right now, as players criticize the PC version due to account linking, just like Helldivers 2.

This is my exact reaction. The issue with HD2 was the bait and switch of adding the requirement at a later date, particularly since they had already sold copies in places where people literally could not make PSN accounts.

Not that I agree with Sony’s decision to require the account for GOW, but at least they’re being up front about it this time. If you don’t want the account, there are 500 billion other quality games you can buy that don’t require one.

HD2 had a linking requirement that was disclosed on Steam from day 1.

Technically yes, but they didn’t actually require it in the beginning and they even sold it in regions without PSN.

It had it in the beginning. They disabled it because it was adding to the long list of technical issues.

Which is yet another reason not to have it in the first place.
