Sony’s About-Face on Helldivers 2: No Longer Requiring PSN Account for Steam Players

Key Points:

–

Sony initially announced that Helldivers 2, the upcoming sequel to the top-down shooter game, would require a PlayStation Network (PSN) account for Steam players to link.

–

The announcement sparked backlash from the gaming community, with many expressing their displeasure on social media.

–

Now, Sony has backtracked on its decision and stated that Helldivers 2 will not require a PSN account for Steam players to link after all.

Hot Take:

Well, it looks like Sony’s Helldivers 2 announcement went from “hella” good to “hella” bad real quick. I mean, who knew linking accounts could be such a hot button issue? But seriously, it’s a win for the Steam community and a lesson learned for Sony. Maybe next time they’ll think twice before trying to force us into their ecosystem. And who knows, maybe they’ll even start selling us virtual bananas for real money. #SonyLemons #Helldivers2 #BacktrackingIsHardWork
