Helldivers 2 will now REQUIRE a PlayStation Network account on PC - briefly
(hx) 12:43 PM CEST - May,04 2024 - Post a comment / read (3)
What was optional before will now be mandatory for new players, and required for existing players within a month. Helldivers 2 players must now link a PlayStation Network account to keep playing. "As of May 6th, all new Helldivers 2 players on Steam will be required to connect their Steam account to a PlayStation Network account," Sony said in a post on X and on Steam. Existing players will be prompted to link starting May 30, and they'll have until June 4 to do so. Presumably, the game won't be playable after that without linking. A representative for Sony did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The post says the reason for the requirement is "to protect players from griefing and abuse by enabling the banning of players that engage in that type of behavior." Banned players will be allowed to appeal. As of May 6th, all new HELLDIVERS 2 players on Steam will be required to connect their Steam account to a PlayStation Network account. Current players on Steam will start to see the mandatory login from May 30th and will be required to have linked a Steam and PlayStation Network account by June 4th.
While PlayStation 5 console players must pay a fee to play online games such as Helldivers 2 with a PlayStation Plus subscription, creating a PlayStation Network account is free. Sony provided a link for players to create a new account, and the process can also be done via the PlayStation mobile app. An email address is required and the account must be verified using that address. Previously, players of Helldivers 2 had the option of linking to their PlayStation account in order to enable crossplay, in which PC and PlayStation 5 Helldivers can play in the same games.

LOL! Now that we got tons of money and nobody can refund, let's impose a 'you need to be a member of PS'... The Grace period is over... roflmao. Sony sucks.

I’ve read a pc mag article on Gabe Newell and Steam.
Steam is now the biggest money maker out there. Bigger than Apple, Sony, Zuckerberg or any of them, raking in (at the time of the article) over $780,000+ per person on the steam payroll.
It hasn’t changed its business model in years and because of its 30% cut on ALL devs just belches money. Of course once they sell MILLIONS on steam does the cut go down.

Sickening and right under everyone’s noses that doesn’t even see it.

I’ve been buying my keys from anywhere (legit) other than steam. I’m glad i have.
Bastards!

Oh and they’ll let the games industry lay off staff, while creaming a fucking fortune off them.

For eg; you buy a game on steam at £90, the fuckers (Steam) will pocket £29.70 of that from the devs and sale. EVERY FUCKING COPY OF THE ONE GAME!!! Marine how much they scam in a day…

Wankers!

Based on the GameDiscoverCo newsletter and the details provided, we can finally see that in 2018, Valve was making at least $780,400 in net income per employee, while Apple made $476,160 per employee. This shows that Valve was actually one of the most efficient companies back then, and it did know how to manage its resources.

It's unclear if this situation has changed in the past six years, but Valve maintained its business model, and I bet it still makes that much money and remains among those mentioned above.
