After the Helldivers 2 community raged a war on its move to mandate PSN account linking for Steam users, Sony finally gave in, reverting its decision for good. But despite things returning to normalcy, game developer Pirate Software is convinced the drama has left a lasting impression.

Replying to PlayStation’s tweet on May 5, Pirate Software said Sony’s efforts to limit Helldivers 2’s access has left a “lasting stain” on the publisher as a brand, even though the plan has been canceled. “Many people have very little reason to trust Sony going forward,” they wrote. Calling out Sony for “moving the business” before understanding the player base, Pirate Software also stressed these decisions are never the right choice.
