Sony has sparked a backlash after announcing plans to force Helldivers 2 Steam players to connect to a PlayStation Network account.
In a statement attributed to Sony Interactive Entertainment, the PlayStation maker said that due to “technical issues” at the launch of Helldivers 2, it allowed the linking requirements for Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account to be temporarily optional. Sony said this “grace period” will now expire.
Here’s what’s going to happen: on May 6, all new Helldivers 2 players on Steam will be required to connect their Steam account to a PlayStation Network account. Current players on Steam will start to see the mandatory login from May 30 and will be required to have linked a Steam and PlayStation Network account by June 4.
The announcement sparked widespread backlash on social media, forums, and Discord.
Confusingly, the FAQ section of Sony's support page appears to contradict this new requirement. Sony asks: "Do I have to sign in to PSN to play a PlayStation game on PC?" And it replies: "Signing in to PSN is optional when playing a PlayStation game on PC."
Clearly, when it comes to Helldivers 2, the rules have changed.
