Helldivers 2's Community Major Order Has Flipped Over 200,000 Reviews Positive

Sony initially demanded that all PC players of Helldivers 2 link a PSN account to continue playing, causing a backlash where players flooded the game with negative reviews on Steam. After Sony retracted the requirement, the community rallied to change their reviews from negative to positive, resulting in over 200,000 reviews being flipped, improving the game's rating significantly.

Despite the positive shift in reviews, the situation remains unresolved as Sony has not reversed its decision to pull the game from sale in 177 regions. Additionally, the community manager who may have encouraged the negative reviews as a form of protest could have faced consequences, although it’s unclear if he was dismissed. Helldivers 2 continues with updates and new content as it moves past the controversy.
