Sony has burned a bit of good will with the Helldivers 2 player base, as the company announced plans on Thursday that would require PC players of the game to link a PlayStation Network account to continue playing the title.
“Due to technical issues at the launch of Helldivers 2, we allowed the linking requirements for Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account to be temporarily optional,” the company said. “That grace period will now expire.”
Sony went on to say that forcing PC players to connect to a PSN account “is our main way to protect players from griefing and abuse by enabling the banning of players that engage in that type of behaviour,” and would let banned players appeal their punishment.
