Sony announced that it will require Helldivers 2 PC users to connect a PlayStation Network (PSN) account by the end of May this year. But not all game owners will be able to do this. reports DTF portal.
The requirement to connect Helldivers 2 to a PSN account on PC was introduced at the launch stage of the game, but due to technical problems, the system was temporarily optional. Therefore, many players were not even aware of this requirement. Additionally, Sony’s decision caused widespread discontent among gamers, especially in regions where it is not possible to create a PSN account, such as the Baltic countries, the Philippines, some African countries and the CIS.
For example, on Kazakh Steam, the Helldivers 2 game is sold without any restrictions, but residents of Kazakhstan do not have the opportunity to open an account on PlayStation Network due to the lack of services for this country. Players who want to bypass this restriction can open an account using a different region, but this may result in their account being blocked by Sony due to incorrect information. It is also possible to lose access to Helldivers 2 on Steam if PSN does not support the player’s region.
There are already thousands of negative reviews about Helldivers 2 on Steam; Many players demand a refund for the game if they are required to link a PSN account. At the same time, the game itself remained among the top 10 best-selling projects on Steam for a long time and gained great popularity, becoming Sony’s most successful game on the PC.
Gaming industry analyst Daniel Ahmad stated that such measures should be implemented immediately or a simpler solution should be provided for users. He also noted that players’ negative reactions were predictable.
At the moment, neither the developers of the Arrowhead studio nor Sony representatives have commented on the current situation.
