Helldivers 2 was one of the most popular games of the last period, but a new decision made by Sony was not welcomed by the players. It is now mandatory to create a PSN (PlayStation Network) account to access the PC version of the game. This change was a huge disappointment among players and was met with serious backlash. In a short time Steam Player on evaluations Over 230,000 negative comments, down from ‘mostly positive’ to‘extremely negative‘.
Helldivers 2 Removed in 177 Countries
This requirement resulted in Helldivers 2 being unavailable in 177 regions where PSN accounts could not be created. Millions of players in countries as diverse as Albania, the Dominican Republic, Egypt and Puerto Rico can no longer play the game. This is due to the inability to create a PSN account in these countries.
Players’ Refund Requests and Communication Problems with the Developer
Steam has reportedly accepted refund requests for Helldivers 2, even from players whose playtime exceeded two hours, and issued refunds. This shows how serious the game’s problems are. Unfortunately, neither developer Arrowhead nor Sony has made an official statement about the game’s removal. Even Arrowhead’s CEO Johan Pilestedt said that there was no solution to the situation, and when asked by a gamer: ‘PlayStation network is not supported in my country, what should I do?’ he replied: ‘I don’t know.
Despite the success of Helldivers 2, these developments threaten the future of the game. If player dissatisfaction continues, a positive future for the game is not expected. Only time will tell how things will play out and how Sony and Arrowhead will find a solution to this problem.
