The Helldivers 2 PSN controversy has been addressed in more detail by Arrowhead's Community Manager, stating that "discussions are ongoing."
Some Helldivers 2 missions have modifiers that make the game more difficult, but a Reddit user has suggested modifiers to make it more fun.

Big update, I've decided to hire @ShamsJorjani as the new CEO of @ArrowheadGS ! We go way back and I wouldn't trust the business in any other hands than his. (...and he comes with an impressive resume and love for games)
But what about me and my involvement in @Helldivers2 ? Well, I'm glad you asked! I am taking the role of Chief Creative Officer, which means I will spend MORE time with the team and 100% of my focus on the games and community!"
The current Helldivers 2 Major Order grants all players access to the 500KG Bomb and many are discovering its not a good Stratagem.
When they last use bring it for free last weekend I felt really really overpowered. It's better than an Orbital Railgun if you are good at throwing. It can one-shot an entire smaller bug hole. I was getting 600+ kills easily on the harder difficulties.
Needs a bigger AOE. It really feels like it does not have an AOE that is anywhere near how it looks.
Precision Strike is better. Much faster cooldown, and hit quite hard if you use it right.
I don't think they should apologize. It is evident that this is a response to the abuse that many users are sending their way.
Spritz : “Yeah, I was completely unaware how many countries didn’t have the ability to make a PSN account when I made that statement. I deeply regret implying that it was so easy for everyone to just sign up and not have to worry about it. It’s absolutely not our intention to force people to break Sony Terms of Services or just not play the game if they’re in a restricted region. There needs to be a better solution.”
Its not the fact that you need to create a new account to play the game ... its that fact that it was added later.
If it requires, it should've been there day 1, so that the players were aware day 1 what they are getting into. Not every PC gamer appreciates juggling multiple accounts/logins to play one damn game. So players who are not into this could've stayed away rather than sinking hundreds of hours into this good game.
^ ~ this is the part every other gamers are missing while dissing the PC helldivers community.
My opinion likely won't be a popular one with all the Sony fanboys, but it's the truth.
Firstly, 50% of the fault is with Arrowhead here and they must own that. This is the price you pay when you sign a deal with Sony as your partner. I've said it before and I'll say it again - signing a deal with Sony is like signing a deal with the devil. I'm sure the funding and exposure is excellent, but it's the contractual stuff that creates strife for the devs. Just look at From - Sony has effectively screwed over the Bloodborne fans by completely ignoring calls for an HD remaster or PC port or sequel. Same situation concerning a Days Gone sequel... they screwed Bend Studio over and the fact that we likely will never see a sequel is a complete travesty. This situation and the other aforementioned are all prime reasons for why devs should never enter into a contract with Sony as publishing partner. They've proven many times to be a horrible business partner and gamers and fans continue to pay the price. They just can't help themselves by ruining good things.
Love these “internal discussions,” why not just say they’re talking to Sony about not doing what fans are telling them they don’t want? Same with Shift Up, let’s be real these are Sony decisions at the end of the day.
I hope Sony doesn't give in to the phony rage mob, especially the cheating game stealing community of pc gamers. Most of these rageaholics don't even know what exactly they're angry about. Arrowhead needs to be upfront with this frustrated mob and tell them that's the policy going forward and not to expect a change to it. It was stellar blade just a few days ago now it's latched onto hd2 let the toxic mob move on to the next game to rage on about.
