How to link new PSN account to Steam Hellivers 2 purchase?
I found lots of criticisms about linking Steam and PSN. While many gamers world-wide are up Schitt's creek if they're in a de-listed country or in a country that may require console 4 or 5 to sign up, I'm verifying how to link PSN to my Steam purchase. At http://playstation.com, I was required to:
1. provide an email address
2. create a display name
3. provide my birth date; no age verification requested or provided
4. solve a captcha
5. provide my home address
6. verify my email

While I'm already being asked for a lot, I was not asked to provide a driver's license or facial recognition; unlike some have claimed in Discussions and Youtube videos.

PSN's account setting Linked Services doesn't list Steam. PSN states that I must link PSN games on PC via a PSN playable game.

I'm further confused that the PSN Helldiver 2 for PC store page links to Purchase on Steam.

I also checked and rechecked the Helldiver 2 UI settings for an option to link PSN. I need a step-by-step guide of how to link Steam to PSN. Aside, I'm a professional in software industry and I'm confused af rn.

The first time you run the game, a window pop up telling you if you wanted to link the steam account to a PSN one. It was optional, and whatever you answered, this windows won't reaper again.

Okay, so I bought the game in February. What am I suppose to do? Reinstall the game?

There must be a config file in the install path that I can edit to re-trigger the prompt to link accounts, right?

Make sure to sign up for the automated biometrics ban hammer you will be subject too, by Sony

I cant even do that, i don't really mind creating a PSN account but my country (Dominican Republic) is one of the countries that does not support PSN.

wait until it happens...my guess is you will be prompted in game.

Wait until the 30th I believe as it should pop up again and not have a skippable option this time. Otherwise, best to ask sony for help since you won't get any help from anyone on Steam.

Following because I also have no idea how to link to a PSN account. I skipped the message by accident way back when first installing and there's no option in game or on PSN to link the two.
