VICTORY FOR PC PLAYERS

Good News Helldivers Fans! Sony just Anounnced: 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.

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.

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.
