"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."

They were gonna pull helldivers from steam in all countries without PSN, and that's what they did. They didn't care for reimbursements once the game got popular.

They just didn't expect it to be very popular, which is probably why AH agreed to it in the first place

I still think they absolutely forgot that PSN is not available in tons of countries. Bunch of fucking amateurs where this kind of stuff is set up by some underpaid intern.

When they announced the PSN requirement, it took like what, a day to actually pull the game from those countries on Steam? They absolutely forgot and when people started complaining, they were like "Oh shit, we kinda forgot this is a feature".

You think Sony forgot PSN isnt available in all countries?

They 100% knew, and didnt expect there would be enough people in those regions to cause a fuss.
