The thing I don't get about this is that is says on the steam page for Helldivers 2 that it requires a PSN account. Did it not say that before they made that announcement? Or did people see that they weren't enforcing it, buy the game, and now complain that they're starting to enforce it?

It wasn't required at the time. It was listed as optional.

It was changed. It had a EULA, but that didn't include the requirement for a PSN account

Ah ok. Then yeah, changing it weeks/months after release to require one is pretty shitty. Especially for those who live in countries that can't get PSN accounts. The game should never have been sold there as now it will become unplayable for them

I remember vividly that it did say a PSN account was required on the store page when I bought it a month or so ago. It was a pretty obvious yellow box

I picked up the game over a month ago. The bit about the PSN account was definitely there.

I remember the Third Party EULA only.
