In recent days Helldivers 2 is living its own war outside the virtual field, since the title of Arrowhead Game Studios He has all the spotlights on him. After the announcement of the requirement to link Steam accounts with PSN accounts to be able to play, a veritable avalanche of negative reviews accumulated on the Valve store listing.
A little more than 48 hours after the announcement of the study, they are more than 245,000 contrary reviews to the video game those that have been published, a practically unprecedented milestone. That is why the company is trying to take measures and Spitz, responsible for the community in the official Discord, has pointed out
He assures that “discussions are ongoing” and has clarified that there is a clear discrepancy between Sony and Arrowhead, pointing to the former as responsible for this measure. However, the problem has spread to a much more serious situation, since a a large number of countries do not have support for PSNwhich would incapacitate the owners of Helldivers 2 in those regions to be able to play.
“It is not our intention to force people to violate Sony’s Terms of Service or simply not play the game if they are in a restricted region,” explains Spitz. With everything, just as he collects SteamDBthere are already 177 nations where it is not possible to buy the multiplayer shooter, such as Serbia, Albania or Japan.
The seriousness of the matter means that Steam is accepting player returns, even if they exceed the limit of two hours played. On Reddit we can find examples of users with 97 hours of shooting, more than 40 hours y full price refunds. For his part, Spitz assures that it is a painful bleeding, but that it will help in the future.
“Players expressing their discontent through reviews, refunds, etc., gives us more weight in the discussion with Sony. It hurts to see the game’s popularity suffer in the ratings, but discussions are ongoing and we are on the side of the players in this fight.
