The saga with Helldivers 2 is officially over. After several days of scandals and blockades, Sony cancelled the update that required Steam users to link a PSN account.
Helldivers fans — we've heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward.
We're still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we'll keep you updated on future plans.
The game's Steam rating is 45%. Apparently, it will take more than a week to return to «very positive» reviews.
