Players have been voicing their frustration online for days regarding the recent update in Helldivers 2. The developers of the popular cooperative shooter introduced mandatory linking of PSN accounts in response to Sony’s management requirement. PC players strongly opposed this decision, leading to over 300,000 negative reviews on Steam. However, their efforts paid off as the company has decided to reverse its initial stance.
Sony took to their official social media channels to acknowledge the players’ concerns and frustrations. In light of the backlash against the mandatory account linking in Helldivers 2, the company has decided to permanently scrap the requirement. They emphasize the importance of player feedback in shaping the development of the game, ensuring that player opinions are always considered.
The recent update in Helldivers 2 that would have enforced linking of Steam and PlayStation Network accounts has been canceled following player feedback. Sony expressed gratitude for the support and feedback from the community, promising to keep them informed about future plans.
According to Sony, this decision marks a significant “victory for democracy” as players successfully influenced a major company to prioritize their preferences over third-party services.
