PlayStation has announced that it will no longer require Helldivers 2 players on PC to link their Steam account to a PlayStation Network account following backlash.
The requirement was originally announced on May 2, but due to negative feedback and a messy launch, PlayStation decided to backtrack.
The developers and community managers of Helldivers 2 had to manage a massive digital war across social media platforms.
Players were upset about the account linking announcement coming late and the inability to play in countries without access to PlayStation Network.
