Helldivers 2 Officially Canceled! Sony Lied to Gamers!

Sony has now ruined Helldivers 2. It's been a terrible day for the game and the team behind it. Angry players swarmed the co-op shooter's Steam page to review-bomb it like a giant hive of Terminids after a PlayStation Network login requirement was reinstated on PC.

“Ouch, right in the review score,” Arrowhead Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt tweeted after the hit game's rating turned to “mixed” on the Valve-owned storefront.

“Well, I guess it’s warranted,” the head developer continued. “Sorry, everyone, for how this all transpired. I hope we will make it up and regain the trust by providing a continued great game experience.”

Genuinely, I think it's a completely needless thing. It ruins the experience. You now have to make a PlayStation account to play Helldivers 2 on PC. Why? All right, 'cause of hurt feelings, I guess. This is absolutely insane, and it's not going down very well.

In fact, Sony (and this will probably be the title of the video) has now nuked Helldivers 2. And I know it sounds trivial, but it's not trivial. People's information is not trivial. People don't want to make these accounts. People can't be bothered to do this. Why add a needless step when people were just enjoying it as is? It was a success. Why are you doing this? It's dumb. So no, it's not trivial to all those saying it is.

So, Helldivers 2's official Twitter account tweeted this out. Hell divers an important message from our partner PlayStation about account linking for PC players and its significance in providing player safety features. You're playing online, you're safe. In fact, you're less safe if you give people your information. You're more safe by retaining anonymity. Oh no, wait, they don't want people to be anonymous. Of course, this is so dumb.

Anyway, here it is. I see, just insane. Why do you have to ruin stuff? It says, "Attention helldivers, due to technical issues at the launch of Hell divers 2, we allowed the linking requirements for steam accounts to a playstation network account to be temporarily optional. That grace period will now expire. Did you notify people of this before they bought the game? I see mass refunds coming. See details below in this post.

Account linking plays a crucial role in protecting our players' and upholding the values of Safety and Security provided on PlayStation and Playstation Studios games. You are as safe as they come. You're online. No one's going to hurt you. Just your feelings, perhaps, which, at the end of the day, just grow a pair. It's really not a big deal. This is our main way to protect players from griefing and abuse by enabling the banning of players that engage in that type of behavior.

It also allows those players that have been banned the right to appeal. Such as, such as of May 6th, all new hell divers 2 players on Steam will be required to connect their Steam account to a playstation network account. So no one wants this. Current players on on Steam will start to see the mandatory login from May 30th and will be required to have linked a steam and playstation network account by June 4th.

PlayStation Network accounts are free and easy to set up. But people don't want it. People don't want to give people their information. What are you doing? We understand that while this may be an inconvenience to some of you, this step will help us to continue to build a community that you're all proud to be a part of. Now, all that's going to happen here, by the way, will be a bunch of passes will be like, "Oh, they hurt my feelings." And it will just enable people to just abuse that system.

This is ridiculous. This appears to make no sense beyond forcing PSN accounts onto players. Thousands of other games have protected players, upheld value of safety and security through Steam without the need for an additional platform login.
