Helldivers 2 is a beloved game, but it recently came under fire from PC gamers, with Sony requiring PSN to play it. Clearly, Sony wanted to leverage the game's popularity to get more players to sign up for its online service. Sony even pulled the game from Steam in 177 regions where PSN isn't available. But it backfired.
Now, Sony has decided to relent to the masses by removing the PSN requirement from the game, which should make players happy. However, the damage may have already been done, as Helldivers 2 received thousands of negative reviews on Steam.
