Helldivers 2 shouldn’t worry about the linking requirement set by Sony

Linking your PSN account to Helldivers 2 will no longer be optional for Steam players but they shouldn't worry about it. Many have pointed out to the community that this is pretty standard practice.

A little bit of research would have shown one of the biggest issues is PSN not being available in many of the countries Helldivers 2 was sold in. Typical lazy "journalism" or omitting a fact that goes against their narrative?

Edit: Even worse, they have another article that addresses that issue, yet didn't bother updating this one or directly linking that article to this one, typical lazy journalism.

I mean realistically how many copies did they sell in those countries? There's a reason psn doesn't support those countries and if the markets there were significant they'd have found a way to support those countries.

Realistically, if PSN was always an intended requirement, they should have never been sold on Steam to regions without PSN support in the first place.

Exactly this. But we know how corporations think. They want their cake and to eat it as well.

It really doesn't seem like a legit issue. PlayStation console owners are able to get on PSN from any country. What have they been doing. They select the region closest to them. .

You can make a PSN account from another region and you don't even need a vpn to do that. Also you won't get banned for that unlike everyone is claiming.

I am in Canada and I have accounts from 3 other regions as well, haven't been banned even after 13 years of having them.

Eonjay23d ago

I don't understand the downvotes. You are correct. You can make a PSN account in the region closest to you.

I agree, I am from Philippines and my main account is NA which I created during PS3 Era together with Jap acct, EU acct, and SG acct. All of them are still active, I just used them to bought game from their region and still use my NA acct for trophies.

1) You're in Canada, a country that PSN operates in. That's not necessarily apples to apples.

2) The game didn't require a PSN account. It was optional. People bought the game based on it being optional. To then force it just isn't ok.

Gotcha
So if something is a common thing we shouldn't worry about it
Good to know common = ok

So yes I think this was basically revealed yesterday. So apparently (and mind you HD lore is really quite dark) they have Illuminate blood stored from the first war that will be used as a super weapon to destroy an entire planet. The bug blood, BTW, is also used by Super Earth to power FTL travel.

Can't wait to experience the last stand of the super bug colony. And then face the Illuminate.

i never understand the idea of "balance" in a single player game as long as the weapons weren't game breaking. They were fun to use.

INMATEofARKHAM3h ago

I think you meant PvE and not single player... though you could certainly play Helldivers 2 only as a single player game.

Anyhow, I do agree but they're has to be options in the meta not one all powerful weapon that everyone uses.

IAMRealHooman3h ago

Nice bait title nowhere does it say they'll straight up reverse the changes
