Helldivers 2 Community Rallies To Rescue Game's Steam Reviews

After Sony mandated that PC players of Helldivers 2 link a PlayStation Network account, a backlash ensued, leading to a review-bombing spree on Steam. Sony reversed this decision on May 6, prompting the game's community to rally and restore its Steam ratings through a coordinated effort dubbed "Major Order: Operation Clean Up."

Helldivers 2, launched on February 8 with high acclaim, faced a significant drop in Steam ratings due to the unpopular Sony mandate. Following the reversal, over 75,000 positive reviews have been submitted, significantly improving the game's rating from "mostly negative" to "mixed." The community continues to work towards restoring the game's "overwhelmingly positive" status.
