PSN mandatroy requirement has been canceled this is one big victory, but until our fellows helldivers from the delisted countries are able to go back on the front the review will stay

Since PSN requirement is no more this shouldn't take too long



The game itself is great but the soon to be enforced mandatory PSN account link is a disaster

DISCLAIMER : THIS IS SONY'S FAULT

-Sony will collect and sell your steam analytic data to third party info brokers quite extensively

-♥♥♥♥ cybersecurity track record with more than 7 major hack in a decade (latest data breach by end 2023) with +100 million account affected

Sony talking about security is quite ironic when your are more prone to be hacked because you have your account linked to them

-Multiple countries have no way to even make a PSN account, and using a VPN is a perma banable offence costing your entire Sony game library as its a TOS violation

-Sony's TOS IS HORRENDOUS and intrusive

Able to log your chat and voice chat without consent and may perma ban even over friendly banter if deemed offensive by an AI using a extremely vague definition of "offensive/inapropriate language"

-The EULA everyone has signed since launch DOESN'T even mention PSN requirement at any point and thats the "legal contract" everyone signed, likely to be edited by the end of the month to make it so by then

-No explicit mention when starting up the game that this would have been a hard requirement at any point beside an easely missed info tab on the storefront

That's the kind of info you would make sure the customers can't miss no matter what when the required service cant be accessed in nearly all of Africa and western Europe/Asia

Simply put : mandatory PSN account link is a big red flag, bad enough to not recommend the game until its purely optional just because how bad the implications are

Beside no one likes needing 2 accounts for one game, I dont own a console, I dont plan to own one and I already have an account with an unique ID this game and profile is linked to via steam
