In recent days, the fire around Arrowhead Game Studios' game and the merger of Steam and PSN accounts has flared up with renewed vigor. After a wave of criticism, the head of the studio apologized and assured that he would try to regain the trust of the community.
The problems did not end there, as many players found themselves cut off from the servers – the game is unavailable in 177 countries due to Sony's decision and lack of access to the PlayStation Network. Some users have made product returns on the Valve platform.
Yesterday, the developer announced that it was in talks with PlayStation management to resolve the issue. And PlayStation announced today on Twitter that it is still figuring out what's best for the PC community and will no longer require account integration into Helldivers 2.
“Helldivers fans – we have taken note of your feedback regarding the update for Helldivers 2. The May 6th update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network accounts to be linked for new players and for existing players as of May 30th, will not be implemented.
We're still learning what works best for PC gamers, and your feedback has been invaluable. Thank you again for your continued support of Helldivers 2, and we will keep you updated on future plans.”
The current situation is clearly worrying the Swedish developers , who understand how difficult it will be to regain the trust of the community. It is also difficult to say how the problems will affect the work of the servers and the popularity of the action movie. high online. It's hard to say how many users Helldivers 2 has already lost.
