Late night tweet from the official PlayStation X account confirms they will no longer force the linking of your PSN account to your PC copy of Helldivers 2.

    For now… 🖕🏽

    They worded that so weasely, they’re just waiting for the storm to pass and for Legal to come up with some compelling reason why they’re totally “obligated” to make it happen, “hands tied” “so sorry” and all that.

    Fuck Sony. They made this SOP way back when, and there’s no way they let this stop them forever. It’s all about profit, not what “we” want.

      100%. A distinct lack of a commitment to not requiring PSN. A simple sentence would have sufficed " current steam players will never be required to add a PSN account to Helldivers, it will be an optional extra going forward." Gives them weasel room to make it a requirement for new players etc etc etc

      I wonder how many refunds Steam processed already, I doubt any of those players will repurchase the game because there’s the chance they change their mind.

      I don’t think Steam will be as lenient with refunds after this announcement, though, since they were attempting to do the right thing while Sony got their shit together.

        They’re not, correct. The wall is up again, and I’ve not seen it heard of any refunds going through since this notice. 🤷🏼‍♂️
