Helldivers 2 Pulled from 177 Countries Amid 215K Negative Reviews; Steam Waives Refund Limit
May 5, 2024, 06:22 AM
Helldivers 2, a popular video game, has faced significant backlash due to a new requirement for players to link their game to Sony's PlayStation Network (PSN). This decision led to the game being pulled from sale in 177 countries where PSN is not available. As a result, Steam began issuing refunds to players, regardless of their playtime, and the game received over 215,000 negative reviews. Arrowhead, the game's developer, and Sony are reportedly in discussions to find a solution to this issue. Steam has waived the playtime limit for refunds.
