Sony has announced that it plans to remove the PlayStation Network account requirement for Hellraiser 2 on all platforms, a decision that will prevent a large number of players from playing the game in their own countries. The news was announced via Sony’s official Twitter account, which posted the news just minutes ago.
Here’s the statement: “Hellraiser fans – we’ve heard your feedback on the Hellraiser 2 account link update. The May 6th update requires new players and existing players to start on May 30th Linking Steam and PlayStation Network accounts will not move forward.”
We’re still figuring out what’s best for PC gamers, and your feedback is invaluable. Thank you again for your continued support of Helldiver 2 and we will keep you updated on future plans.
Ahead of this return, the decision to re-enable a mandatory PlayStation Network account in order to play the PC version of Hellraiser 2 resulted in the beloved third-person shooter receiving an astronomical amount of money on Steam last Friday. negative comment. While Sony remained silent over the weekend, the CEO of Arrowhead (the developer of Helldiver 2) was quick and consistent in making public posts to update fans on the situation. It seems that with this withdrawal, both developers and players can feel at ease.
That’s not to say the damage hasn’t been done yet. Helldiver 2 still has negative reviews on Steam – a black spot that may take some time to clear. In addition, the controversy has spread to other Arrowhead games, with Helldivers 1 also suffering review bombings.
What about Sony? For a company that’s been keen to express its desire to get into live-streaming services, its acquisition of Bungie and its apparent release of Helldivers 2 is a revelation for those excited about the gaming giant’s sensibilities. A confusing weekend. There is no doubt that such mistakes have dimmed the golden goose’s light. For gamers and developers considering working with Sony, this may cast doubt on Sony’s ability to keep projects in good shape.
We have to sit back and look at the long-term effects of this weekend’s disaster. Currently, however, Helldiver 2 is back on the menu. no strings attached!
