You’re G2G then.
Sony was requiring Steam PC players to sign up for a PSN account to play the game, claiming it was for “security purposes” and to “improve gameplay experiences” by limiting cheating, griefing, etc.- all horseshit excuses for what many believe is a data grabbing scheme to inflate PSN user numbers. I mean, the “security purposes” excuse is flat laughable since PSN has been hacked numerous times. The requirement was originally delayed to ensure Helldivers servers would work under player load, which was a huge unknown at launch.
The resulting problem is that PSN isn’t available to all countries, including countries that already have a significant player base on PC, so Steam bricked their copy of the game, rendering it unplayable at Sony’s demand.
Sony backed down on the requirement, for now.
