Sony’s PSN Account Linking Controversy Leads to Review Bombers
The gaming community was left in turmoil when Sony attempted to make PSN account linking mandatory for Helldivers 2 players. This move sparked outrage and frustration, ultimately resulting in review bombers targeting the game’s Steam page. However, with recent developments, players are now looking to change their negative reviews following Sony’s decision to scrap the mandatory linking.
Players Urged to Reconsider Negative Reviews
In response to the influx of negative reviews on Helldivers 2’s Steam page, a Reddit post gained significant attention, encouraging review bombers to revisit their comments. With over 7,800 upvotes and counting, the post boldly states, “We won! Go change your review if you haven’t already.”
Community’s Resilience and Sony’s Reversal
The upheaval caused by Helldivers 2 surpassing Overwatch 2’s record for negative reviews on Steam was a wake-up call. However, the community’s unified stance forced Sony to reevaluate its controversial strategy. Interestingly, review bombers also targeted Helldivers 1’s Steam page in a bid to capture Sony’s attention.
Reflecting the True Experience
Following the immense success of Helldivers 2 since its launch, players are advocating for reviews to align with the game’s actual merits. A player rightly pointed out, “There’s no reason Helldivers 2 should have more negative reviews than Overwatch 2.”
In an effort to restore the game’s reputation, players who typically refrain from leaving reviews have stepped up, leaving positive comments to support the recovery process.
Additional players have also joined the cause by revising their reviews to contribute to shifting the overall sentiment towards a more positive outlook.
With Sony retracting its mandatory account linking update, players can now access Helldivers 2 on Steam without constraints. For those who participated in the initial backlash, it’s essential to amend their reviews and help the beloved game reclaim its glory.
