Following the reversal of Sony’s plans to make PSN account linking mandatory on PC, Helldivers 2 players have been flooding the game with positive reviews. In just a day, Helldivers 2’s Steam rating has gone from overwhelmingly negative to mixed, with 61,940 positive reviews on May 6.
Helldivers 2‘s community stood together and rallied against Sony’s mandatory PSN account linking policy, and their collective action—in the form of review-bombing—was a clear message to the publisher. Now, following Sony’s statement confirming it’s cancelled the plans, the community is working together to change their negative reviews into positive ones. One Steam review says “Democracy has prevailed,” and many more agree.
