Following the announcement of Helldivers 2 enforcing a PSN login on PC, gamers have flooded the reviews with criticism. The latest development in this saga reveals that the studio behind the game, Arrowhead, is in negotiations with Sony and confirms their unwavering support for the players.
This information comes from “Spitz,” the community manager of Helldivers 2, who posted on Discord that the studio is discussing the issue with Sony regarding PSN. While no decision has been reached yet, the Arrowhead team is adamant about providing alternative options for players. They believe that players outside the PSN service area should also have the right to continue playing the game.
Spitz also mentioned that players voicing their concerns through various channels, whether it be reviews or refund requests, has empowered Arrowhead in negotiating with Sony. Despite the decline in the game’s ratings, they reassure players that they are on their side in this battle.
On the other hand, some players have reported that Helldivers 2 on Steam has stopped being sold in countries without PSN services. However, Steam has begun approving refund requests for these players as well.
