Sony removes PlayStation account requirement from 4 single-player Steam games
arstechnica.com
In-game goodies still provide incentives even though the requirement is gone.

It’s debatable whether this belongs in the Steam Deck community, but these are all high profile games, and having to login with additional online accounts is a significant barrier to play on the Deck.

    What about Helldivers 2?

    Edit:

    It’s not the first time Sony has changed course, either. The firestorm of gamer outrage started with an account requirement for Helldivers 2, a team-based co-op shooter that went viral about a year ago. The response was so negative (players review-bombed the game) at that time that Sony ultimately backed down, opting not to enforce the requirement.

    Oh, never mind. Apparently it’s gone.
