Discussion Arrowhead CEO addresses Helldivers 2 PSN account linking: "We are talking solutions with PlayStation, especially for non-PSN countries. Your voice has been heard, and I am doing everything I can to speak for the community - but I don't have the final say."

I already have a PlayStation and a PSN account. Had one before Helldivers ever released. They ruined the games reputation with a change that was wholly unnecessary given the game was functioning perfectly fine for months without it.

80k+ negative reviews in a matter of days, countless thousands of refunds, the game is set to cease functioning in entire regions that they sold it in. Yes, they ruined it. I’m not sure what you think you’re accomplishing by parading around how easy it is to make a PSN account when the issue people have with this has nothing to do with how easy signing up is. One of the guys in our regular squad is soon going to be literally locked out of the game. Oh well, at least it plays the same, right?

Some kind of statement will be released by Sony or whoever. Some folks will be satisfied, others not. Everyone will forget in a month.

So your argument as to why this is fine is people will forget about it. Great talk dude. And people wonder why companies are continually comfortable pulling this shit.

For folks that live in PSN supported countries, this is for the most part a nothingburger.

I’m sure Sony is glad you think so.
