Helldivers 2 players on PC granted refunds as Steam removes playtime constraints. In the wake of Sony and Arrowhead's announcement regarding a mandatory linking of Helldivers 2 accounts to PlayStation Network (PSN) accounts for PC players, a wave of discontent surged through the gaming community, according to Eurogamer. This discontent was exemplified by the success of one player's refund request, despite having logged over 90 hours of gameplay signaling a widespread refusal to accept the new requirement. With over 200,000 negative reviews flooding Steam, the game was swiftly pulled from sale in numerous regions, exacerbating tensions. Arrowhead’s CEO, Joan Pilestedt, took responsibility for the oversight in communication, acknowledging the confusion and pledging to explore solutions with PlayStation particularly for players in areas without access to PSN.
