Arrowhead CEO Apologizes As Helldivers 2 Is Review Bombed on Steam !
257 View2024-05-04Arrowhead CEO Johaan Pilstedt has released a statement apologizing to disgruntled Helldivers 2 fans in the wake of Sony forcing Steam players to link their accounts to a PlayStation Network Account in order to continue playing the wildly popular third-person shooter.
Earlier today, Sony released a statement announcing that new Helldivers 2 PC players will be asked to link their Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account on May 6 in order to continue playing the game. This, in turn, sparked outrage from players on social media, with fans threatening to quit the game cold turkey over the new mandate, demand refunds, and flood Helldivers 2 with negative review scores.
According to Helldivers 2’s Steam customer review tab, the game has received thousands of negative reviews in response to Sony’s announcement, dropping its “mostly positive” review score to “mixed.” Helldivers 2's subsequent review bombing led Pilstedt to apologize on his personal X/Twitter account.
“Ouch, right in the review score. Well, I guess it's warranted,” Pilestedt wrote. “Sorry everyone for how this all transpired. I hope we will make it up and regain the trust by providing a continued great game experience. I just want to make great games!”
Pilestedt’s apology follows a previous tweet in which the Helldivers 2 boss directed disgruntled players to PlayStation Support if they had any questions about account linking rather than reaching out to Arrowhead.
According to Sony, "technical issues" were to blame for Helldivers 2's account linking being temporarily optional on launch. Come June 4, all current Helldivers 2 players must link their accounts in order to continue playing the game.

VICTORY FOR PC PLAYERS
Last week saw a new policy change for Helldivers 2 on PC, as a PSN account became a mandatory requirement to sign in to the game. This announcement didn't go over well with the Helldivers 2 playerbase, and after the game was bombarded with thousands of negative reviews, Sony announced that it had reversed course on this decision. "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," Sony wrote in a statement on its official account. "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."

The Galactic Federation is fighting SONY for DEMACRACY!
Out of the loop? Let's catch you up.
Helldivers 2 has been the best game released in recent years in terms of cost, content, and challenge both alone and with friends, but it has found itself in some dangerous waters. ArrowHead Studio has been lying to their entire audience since the game's debut with the very first message that appears when you boot it up, the OPTIONAL connecting of your Steam account to your PlayStation account.
