The heat in the community of HELLLDIVERS 2 does not subside: when Sony She announced that soon for the game it would be necessary to create an account in the PlayStation Network, such blood pressure was erupted that the developers are trying HELLDIVERS 2, and even other studios Sony.
We already wrote as a studio Arrowhead announced that she was on the side of the players. This is what else managed to happen during the scandal:
HELLDIVERS 2 It was withdrawn from sales in Steam already in 177 territories – apparently those where PlayStation Network services are formally inaccessible. Among them are Antarctica, Belarus, Kazakhstan and some island territories that legally relate to large countries (for example, external small islands of the United States, the external territories of Australia and the overseas territories of Great Britain).
There is a version that the game was removed from the sale not Sony, A Valve – Like, in this way the creators of Steam protect themselves from probable judicial claims. Nominally it is easy to make an PSN account any region from any region, but officially you can get a ban from a bypass of restrictions from restrictions Sony.
Some users report that they approve https://tropical-wins.uk/games/ of the return for funds for HELLDIVERS 2, Even if they played for tens of hours and are in the country where PSN is officially available. But so far this is not a mass story: the author of this news (and many commentators on Sabredite) refused the refuser. Users suggest that the chances will increase if you contact the person in the Steam support service, and not with the bot that processes refund requests in automatic mode.
Studio SUCKER PUNCH assured that in a PC version Ghost of Tsushima PSN account will be needed only in two cases – if you want to play in the multiplayer Legends mode and have access to the PlayStation overlaw. But a single campaign can be launched without binding the PSN account.
Users noticed that on their support site Sony I rewrote the section of questions and answers about the PSN to a PC: it used to be written that PSN for PC versions is not required, and now-"some PlayStation games on PCs may require the game with the PSN account".
In some regions, special requirements for the creation of PSN accounts – for example, in the UK it is necessary to confirm the age by providing the phone number by photographing documents or making a scanning of a person. Given the history of PSN leaks, some users are afraid that these sensitive data can fall into the hands of scammers.
Chapter Arrowhead Studios Johan Pilested (Johan pilestedt) again stated that the developers are negotiating with Sony about the current situation – especially about countries where PSN is formally inaccessible.
Pilested confirms that the decision on mandatory accounts comes from Sony, but still takes part of the fault for himself: six months before the release Arrowhead I knew that to buyers HELLDIVERS 2 You need PSN account. Pilested decided to turn off the mandatory relationship of accounts during the release, but did not double -check that the players clearly and clearly know – the PSN account will still be needed in the future.
Another tweet Palestedt, which scattered in the community:
– PlayStation Network is not supported in my country. What should I do?
– I don’t know.
Rating HELLDIVERS 2 Steam continues to fly to hell: at the time of writing, the game had 50 % of the reviews for all the time and 17 % over the past 30 days.
Steamdb statistics make it clear that more than 260,000 negative reviews were published just after it became known about the requirement of the PSN account. For May 4 and 5, Steamdb systems did not record a single positive review.
