Sony Reverses Decision On Helldivers 2 PSN Account Requirement - IGN Daily Fix: In today's Daily Fix: Congratulations, Helldivers! You beat back the might of the Sony corporation, who mandated—undemocratically—that you link a PSN account to your game even when playing on PC. Developer Arrowhead was on the side of the gamers in this fight, even going so far as to suggest players leave negative reviews of Helldivers 2 (which they did) to get the message across to Sony that this was a bad idea. The requirement, had it gone into effect, would have also stopped players in more than a hundred countries from playing the game, seeing as how PSN is not available worldwide. Sony may have reversed course on this decision thanks to the overwhelming response from the community, but the victory may be short-lived, as Sony is making a huge push into the PC gaming space, and may require other Sony-published games to have a PSN account tied to them.
