HELLDIVERS™ 2 - HELLDIVERS™ 2 Account Linking Update - Steam News
store.steampowered.com
Attention Helldivers, Due to technical issues at the launch of HELLDIVERS™ 2, we allowed the linking requirements for Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account to be temporarily optional. That grace period will now expire. See details below in this post. Account linking plays a critical role in protecting our players and upholding the values of safety and security provided on PlayStation and PlayStation Studios games.

Well, well, well. I see Sony wants to kill all the goodwill their game has garnered with this linking bullshit.

    Whelp, it was fun while it lasted… Good job sony.

    Apparently this is already a massive problem for people who are in countries that PSN is not avalible in, using a VPN to create an account to link to has resulted in getting banned. Also seeing as most players are already past the Steam refund window, this is utterly unacceptable.

    I dont want to blame Arrowhead too much, this reeks of partnership/publisher meddeling. If they made it so that linking account is not required if crossplay is disabled, I would find that acceptable.

      Note that the refund window is for it to be automatically approved. Beyond that it has to be manually reviewed.

        I requested a refund. They said since it’s been 2 week they cannot provide a refund at this time.

          Appeal. Everyone should do it. Force their hand.

              I’ve heard that steam is approving pretty much all refunds for HD2 now, worth a try to request it again.
