Sony has backtracked on its plans to enforce mandatory PSN linking for Helldivers 2 players on Steam, following immense backlash from its community.
On Friday, the publisher announced Helldivers 2 players on Steam would soon be required to link to a PSN account for safety and security. This, it said, was always going to be a requirement for players on PC, but due to issues at launch linking was made optional.
This news was immediately met with intense backlash, which resulted in an influx of negative reviews from Helldivers 2 players on Steam. Many asked for a refund as Helldivers 2 was pulled from sale in 177 countries where PSN is not available.
