If there’s one thing that’ll rile people up more than a robot blasting them with a laser cannon, it’s having to create a new account. That’s somethingHelldivers 2players will have to do pretty sharpish, as Arrowhead announce mandatory account linking between Steam and Playstation Network. Why? Safety and security apparently.
In Arrowhead’sannouncement post, they say that account linking wasn’t mandatory when Helldivers 2 launched because of the technical issues the game faced at the time. Now that the game’s been heavily patched up since launch, the “grace period will now expire”.
There’s been a fair amount of backlash over onReddit, with some players tired of having to make secondary accounts to play things. Others rue the possibility of Sony harvesting their data, while others live in countries where PSN is banned and, rightfully so, aren’t best pleased with the linking requirement. There’s also some annoyance at the aforementioned “grace period”, which I can get on board with. I had no idea there was a grace period!
Anyway, I’m lucky enough that I’ve already created a PSN account and linked the two. I should get back to earning super credits for thisnew wintery warbond that came out. Looks like it has some anti-robot measures in there.
