Helldivers 2 Players Now Move To Fix Game's Reputation On Steam After Sony's U-Turn

Helldivers 2 will no longer require a mandatory PSN log-in on Steam, confirms PlayStation after a major protest by the community.

That's good the players are now correcting those reviews.

So basically they're removing and correcting their fake negative review scores 😂.

MeteorPanda12d ago

How was it a fake negative? They didnt want the psn account, they listened, so the negative review is no longer valid and they're reverting.

They shouldn't have bought the game in the first place then, it was always a requirement from day one, it was even on the steam page for the game on day one, funny how a free psn account is too far but origin app needed or ubisoft app needed is all fine, even gamepass that needs an xbox account and also an origin account to use all the games is fine 🙄

What about the regions that can't create PSN accounts? The game was being sold there, people were playing the game from there and suddenly they would have lost the ability to play the game.

@Gamingsince1981

It was never just about the account, it was about restricting people who bought the game retroactively in a region PSN isn't supported meaning they lost access to what they bought. They had every right to be upset with Sony who with some simple foresight could have prevented all of this by either not requiring PSN because they had ALREADY sold the game in regions where PSN is NOT AVAILABLE, or limited the sale of the game to regions PSN is supported from the very start. The former being the only logical option.

Hell hath no fury like a gamer scorned.

Yet we can't stop loot boxes or other apps being needed , like origin and ubisoft .....

The reviews are worthless this move proves it. The actual game remains unchanged. Sony is going to regret giving these pc dummies this amount of sway over their releases on pc.

Aphrodia12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

And just how are they going to regret it? By pc gamers rewarding Sony with more sales? You know that the majority of sales are coming from PC don't you? I also wish that gamers didn't have to resort to backlash but Sony needs to stop being so freaking ignorant and arrogant to the point of believing they are above ridicule. Did you forget how anti consumer blunders helped sink the xbox brand with xbox one, and has still not recovered from? People like you can't even see that backlash isn't just about gamers getting what they want it also helps companies from getting completely out of touch and up their own asses to the point of consumers ditching the brand.

HankHill12d ago

Do you work for Sony, or do you do it for free? Sony isn't going to regret anything. Making money is their top priority just like every other company.

TriniOutsider12d ago

So they're fixing all their fake review bombing now?

GameBoyColor10d ago

lmao wtf is up with yall saying its fake, did it not yield results? did sony actually not backpedal? I swear either yall are some d1 level driders or just bots.

The main tip that I would tell a new player is: know how and when to pick your fights. Sometimes it's better to avoid a skirmish altogether and focus on the missions. And if you are indeed starting a fight, try to end is as soon as possible and focus on the smallers enemies first, because if you get rid of all those bastards then they won't call for backup and you'll have time to finish the bigger threats

Good, we need more people fighting for SuperEarth

The countries added back are US territories, which shouldn't have been restricted in the first place. So far, this doesn't seem like a change to Sony's stance on countries that don't support PSN.
