Helldivers 2 is now racking up a barrage of negative Steam reviews following an announcement from Sony that linking your Steam account to a PSN one is set to become a mandatory requirement to play the game soon. Obviously, this is something a whole load of PC players – those being the ones affected by this – aren’t fans of, hence the aggressive thumbs downing.
If you’re out of the loop, Sony said in the announcement that it’s set to end a “grace period” during which not linking the two accounts was optional due to some technical issues around the game’s launch. The new state of play is this: “as of May 6, all new Helldivers 2 players on Steam will be required to connect their Steam account to a PlayStation Network account. Current players on Steam will start to see the mandatory login from May 30 and will be required to have linked a Steam and PlayStation Network account by June 4.”
Since that bombshell dropped this morning, the game has been hit by a slew of negative reviews from folks frustrated with the fact that the linking is becoming mandatory – even if it has been listed as requirement on the Helldivers 2’s Steam page since launch.
