Helldivers 2 faced backlash with 100,000 negative reviews on Steam after announcing a requirement for players to link their Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network (PSN) account. Arrowhead's CEO apologized for the situation and acknowledged the negative impact on the game's review score. The decision, mandated by Sony, has raised concerns about data privacy and accessibility, especially in regions without PSN support. Despite its success as a cross-platform release, this requirement has marred the gaming experience for many.
