    The better solution is to just reverse the decision and not require PSN accounts. The situation since launch was perfectly fine.

      The scuttlebutt is that they don’t get to make that decision because the PSN mandate is a part of the contract they signed with Sony.

        Well, yeah. It’s Sony that needs to backtrack. They were doing a really good job courting the PC scene and building a great reputation for themselves… and now, in one fell swoop, they have destroyed it all.

        Even if they backtrack, they’ve done irreversible damage to Halldivers 2 and extremely severe damage to their entire brand.

      Tbf the social aspect was barely functional, I can’t add friends from steam ingame since day one and we had trouble joining each other games if it was set to private.

      So I wouldn’t say perfectly fine but then again, no clue if them basing everything on a psn username would fix it either.

        That sounds like the kind of thing that would happen if you don’t integrate with Steam properly because you expect to use PSN instead.

        Kool, and yet plenty of people didn’t have that problem at all. Maybe they should fix the bugs preventing you from doing that, instead of introducing a new system nobody wants.
