Sony backtracked the PSN linking, the community banded around this incredible cooperative experience where helldivers fight for democracy and super earth. The community made their point, helldivers dive together or they dont dive at all.

To think that a game that teaches you to organize and complete impossible challenges together as a global community would teach that same community to defend against a megacorporation that would disable access to the very community that loves the game is like poetry.


This as of May 6th is no longer relevant but will stay here as a reminder how a publisher treats their consumers.

Sony retroactively change the terms and conditions after the game became popular which would force users to create a sony account. PSN is available in 69 our od 190 countries, VPNs are against TOS. Also some countries require you to provide your picture and ID for verification or are unable to link the account to steam.

By threatening to withhold access to the game after the fact Sony Entertaiment has created a situation where people are coerced to give up their personal information to keep access to the game. GDPR clearly states that it has to be voluntary to give up your personal information and GDPR violations of data minimisation which states and cannot collect or retain personal information that is not necessary for the service.
The game did not require a sony account to play the game therefore it is not necessary to play the game.
Since we have all been playing the game on Steam since launch without a PSN account we can definitely say that no further data collection is required.

The game is great by itself but when they ban everyone who cannot link a psn account there wont be a community to play with anymore. What a waste of a good game with a passionate dev team.
SONY stopped selling HD2 in over 170 countries

For players that are from Ukraine you cannot play the game if you do not buy a ps console.

Check this map, if you live anywhere that is not blue and the EU nevermind it being blue you will probably have issues with the changes sony implemented, Polish players cannot link accounts as an example, some players from CN and RUS get banned when trying to link their accounts.
