Update: 42% now… When it hits 40% it will flip to mostly negative
The aftermath looks like a cluster bomb dropped “danger close”.
THIS IS DEMOCRACY MANIFEST! Self-managed democracy
Ah yes, I see you know your Judo well.
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!
What’s next? Verification butt plug?
I can see it. Arrowhead just wants to keep shoving themselves up our asses.
I sure hope so.
Sweet liberty, my ass!
I read this every time it pops up and it’s still perfect
An internet classic
Please inform any inactive / retired Helldivers to ask for a refund if their country does not support a PS account as they should not have been able to play the game in the first place.
I am unable to verify which countries are affected.
Okay, fuck that noise. That is all
I’m keen to buy this.
Does it mean I need to create a PlayStation account to play the game ?
Yes and if you live in a region that doesnt allow playstation access - there are some - then your shit out of luck
In short: yes
Honestly you’re a bit late to the party. The player quality has dropped notably over the last weeks, and the gameplay is very fun but also not very varied.
A bit like playing d2 back in the day, you cleave through hordes of enemies to get more power and cleave more effectively through hordes of enemies.
If this PSN bullshit isnt putting you off feel free to of course, bit the big hype window has already passed and you can feel the decline.
Nahhh that’s ok the gameplay loop was getting samey anyway I’ll stick with game that respect the user base
First ksp2 now this.
Why can’t publishers just leave dev teams and games with good potential alone!
This is how democracy dies.
How unfreedom of them to do this.
Very disappointing
I’ve left a negative review on the page. And I’ve requested a refund from steam.
I doubt steam will grant the refund, I’m at 275 hours. But I’m trying…
[update] refund denied. “We will not be granting a refund at this time.”
Kind of weird seeing as they stated this requirement before release and you also agreed to it. Doesn’t seem like your refund has ground to stand on.
That said, I didn’t realize it either, but I’m not blaming my mistake on the storefront or devs.
It may have been in the fine print. I’ll grant you that. But the de facto experience did not require a account with PlayStation.
I have on occasion accidentally bought an EA game, only to launch it to see that it requires an EA account, and then to refund it.
I don’t have an issue with somebody creating a game that requires a PlayStation account, that’s their business more power to them. Changing the requirements after the refund window has finished is what I have issue with. And I agree with you I don’t expect them to give me a refund, but I’m going to god damn well ask.
But let’s put it this way, I played a game, but I did not create a Sony account. Now the game is being taken away from me unless I agree to Sony’s terms and conditions. If I don’t agree if those conditions the game doesn’t work. That’s refundable
Not to mention a good middle ground would be you can’t do steam to Sony cross play unless you have a Sony account. Fair enough
Alternative take: they didn’t change the terms, they started enforcing the terms we already agreed to.
I’m gonna make an account anyway, for me the bigger issue was the exclusivity, I boycott Sony due that, and won’t be buying any of the FF games, but I decided to make an exception for HD2, for better or worse.
Changing how the game is experienced is changing the de facto terms. But sure I agree with you it’s better that the title is not exclusive.
Was the account linking mentionned anywhere on steam?
It’s really feels like a new condition sneaked in…Edit: apparently it was clearly stated on steam and on the first launch of the game. I really have bad skipping habits…The “it’s to protect players against hakerzzzzz” doesn’t feel very legit.
If you read the announcement, it’s obviously a very carefully worded prepared statement from Sony that they’ve been given and ordered to pass out. The hackers reasoning is made up and just the best excuse they could come up with, Sony wants more data in their environment and they’re being forced to comply.

This is absolutely a Sony push to get more data the game was released without the need of having a ps account
But they own Arrowhead. They already have 100% of the data and telemetry.
No they don’t?
Helldivers 2 was produced with a Sony publishing deal, but unless I missed some news, Arrowhead is still independently owned.
If you make a PSN account you have to agree to their ToS, which probably lets them do more than a EULA does.
It also boosts user numbers, which looks good on paper.
How else are they going to make their subscription numbers look like they are going up when no one is buying PS5s?
Wow. I was thinking about buying this, but it will absolutely never happen now.

Going solely off your username, no PSN in Poland? Not that anyone should be forced to make a new account for a game they’ve had for months regardless of where they are.
It’s not available in any of the baltics countries either so wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not in Poland either.
Ironically, a feature I wish DRG would add is linking PSN accounts with Steam accounts, and save importing/exporting. I played 300hrs of DRG on PS5 since it was 'free" on PS+. Now I’ve switched to PC so I can play with mods but I’m back at square one with a new save.
If you can somehow get the save files out of the PS5, you can copy them into the PC save directory
What I actually ended up doing is just starting a new save on PC and using this DRG save editor on GitHub to get back my levels and overclocks. It would be nice if this could be added as a native feature though.
Crummy move to do after release.
