This literally could not have gone any other way. You trained every Helldiver to work together to defeat their foes as a community. Then you became their greatest enemy.
Were the PSN sign ups worth it to the shareholders?
The Helldivers 2 community was tricked by Sony.
Sony declared having a PSN account would be mandatory to play Helldivers 2. The community revolted and trashed the games review score to 13% positive. Sony walked it back and stated they wouldn't be making PSN mandatory.
Not happening.
Removing access from Steam players unless they make a PSN account and link it months after release is absurd. Review changed to negative and I have filed for a refund.

Sony has now removed access to Helldivers 2 in every region that cannot make a PSN account. This denies access to every player that bought the game in those regions over the last several months.
You can also no longer buy the game in a number of currencies tied to those regions.
Ah, look here everyone. A games industry executive has been backed into a corner without any possibility of escape.
Yet... what's this?! She's deflected the barrage with random heartfelt gibberish while not answering the question!

Support people doing rad shit with their platform. Don't tear them down because you can't spend a second finding out who they are.
