It’s kinda amazing this game even did so well. Kernel level anti cheat. Broken as fuck at launch. Just stuck in menus for hours. Arrowhead honestly lucked out they even got this much popularity.
I played his game for two hours but it seemed like progression system is so barebone that playing is pointless and also high level people were just using airstrikes and killing everything before you even shoot
They (Arrowhead + Sony) decided to make ps plus sign in mandatory on pc, a change as it was optional since release. Ps plus is not available in like 2/3rds of the planet.
Thereby locking out loads of people who have been brought the game.

Just to clarify, PS Plus is not required to play Helldivers 2 on PC. PS Plus is the upgraded, paid version of the PSN subscription. A free PSN account (which is not the same as a PS Plus account) is required.
I know I'm nitpicking, but this is a big issue at the moment for a lot of players, and I want to make sure everybody's making a properly educated decision with their money.
And forcing an account on PC players that bought it through steam, which has no need for their servers to collect even more data.
A simple google search shows Sony’s inability to keep any of their user data secure, so it only adds yet another avenue of your PII to be leaked and abused by third parties.
It was stated on the steam page that it required a psn account from before the release. It was disabled during launch week because of technical issues.
And Sony going full Sony with their cheeky comment suggesting between the lines to violate their own terms suggesting players can register while "on vacation" to one of the supported countries.
From the company that can't make a good movie with the Spider-Man IP and gave us Morbius and Madame Web... More brilliant decisions.
"We're still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable."
The PR person who wrote should get their teeth kicked in. What's best for PC players is not have to retroactively create a new CONSOLE ONLY account months after the game launched. Especially in countries where PSN does not exist. That's what's best for PC players Sony. If you need me to tell you, fire your entire company.
