Sony Is Forcing All Helldivers 2 Steam Players to Connect to a PlayStation Network Account — and It’s Going Down About as Well as You’d Expect

Sony has mandated that all Helldivers 2 players on Steam link their accounts to a PlayStation Network account for security reasons. This decision, effective from May 6 for new players and from May 30 for existing ones, has been met with significant backlash from the Steam community. Many players are frustrated by the sudden imposition of this requirement, which was not initially clear at the game's launch, and are concerned about PSN's security history. Some players are even considering abandoning the game or requesting refunds.
