      They’re mandating you have a playstation account to play on PC. That was always in the terms, and on the steam page, but you didn’t have to. Until very recently.

      And if you don’t live in one of the 65 countries where PSN operates, you can go fuck yourself, because your game just stopped working.

        Can’t you just use an US account though? I don’t mean to say that this isn’t a major issue as it is, but are you really blocked from linking it? I don’t live in the US but I have a us pen account since forever

          That would be violating the terms of service, and could presumably get your Helldivers 2 account banned.

            I’m aware of this, but I’ve never heard of this being enforced outside of people trying to use credit cards of other regions, and they only resulted on temporary suspensions.

            My question is on the enforcement of the linking. Does it stop you from doing something like this?

          Violation of PSN terms of service.

          Also worth point out that up until yesterday, Sony said a PSN account wasn’t it required to play games games on PC. They changed it shortly after the backlash.
