“We have received further reports and questions concerning the changes made to our Helldivers 2 product on PC, and we would like to clear the air on these matters. Please refer to our knowledgebase article for Helldivers 2 for more details.”
The article:
"Why is a PlayStation Network™ account required for Helldivers 2? In order to deliver the best matchmaking and gameplay experience, a PlayStation Network™ account must be used when playing Helldivers 2 on PC.
I bought Helldivers 2, but the PlayStation Network™ is not available in my region. Will I be refunded? We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused, and we are working hard to bring PlayStation Network™ services to new regions around the globe.
Will my personal data be safe if I link my Steam account to the PlayStation Network™? Rest assured, your data will only be used in accordance with the Sony PlayStation Network™ Privacy Policy.
I didn’t need to use a PlayStation Network™ account before May 2024, why do I need to now? Prior to May 2024, a technical issue was preventing the PlayStation Network™ sign-in applet from correctly functioning in PC releases of Helldivers 2. This has since been fixed, and you should now be able to play with other consumers who purchased the PlayStation™ 5 release of Helldivers 2."
They should be paying me for these top-notch PR non-answers.
