Update: With over 211 thousand negative Helldivers 2 Steam reviews in three days, developer Arrowhead seems to be grappling with Sony over its controversial PSN sign-in requirement

Helldivers 2 democratic detonation.

The storm over Helldivers 2 introducing a PlayStation Network sign-in requirement doesn't show any signs of slowing down, with the game sitting at a little over 84,000 negative Steam reviews over the past two days at the time of writing. Developer Arrowhead Studios, however, doesn't seem particularly enthused about the requirement either.

In addition to Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt's apology for the rollout, Helldivers 2 community manager Spitz wrote to the game's Discord (shared to Reddit by user Navar 4477) that "discussions are ongoing" about the rollout of the PSN sign-in requirement, particularly in different regions. "The response from our dev teams has been pretty universally negative and we're looking for better options," Spitz added.
