澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 is about to actually start enforcing its previously stated requirement for players on Steam to sign in with a PlayStation account, and to put it mildly, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:community isn't taking it well. After 20,000 negativeꦑ reviews in🔯 less than 24 hours, the game's developers say they get why players are upset.

"Ouch, right in the review score," CEO and creative director Johan Pilestedt says on , sharing an image of the game's recent Steam review average, which has dropped precipitously over the past day. "Well, I guess i𒐪t's warranted. Sorry everyone for how this all transpired. I hope we will make it up and regain the trust🌃 by providing a continued great game experience. I just want to make great games!"

The devs have reminded players that "it's Sony's decision, not ours" a☂mid the PSN ba🎃cklash, but that hasn't done much to settle the community down. Sony is, of course, the publisher of Helldivers 2, even on PC, and has a vested interest in getting as many players into its account ecosystem as possible. That's doubly true with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PC ports of games like Ghost of 🙈Tsushima on the horizon, which will b𝐆e the first Sony-published PC game to offer PSN features like trophies and friend🌄s lists.

ꩲ"It's sad of course, and not representative of what people truly think about the game," community manager Twinbeard says on in response to the negative reviews, "but that's sth [sic] that can happen when people are frustrated with something. I hope 🤡the tide will turn back as things get ironed out and we hopefully will get more info."
