   That's not what anyone is complaining about. They are review bombing due to the PSN linkage requirement. You need to have a PSN account linked to your Steam by May 30th otherwise you can't play the game. And if you live in a country that can't make one (Philippines, Russia, etc) tough luck.

   Also they started region locking the game in those countries.

     @adiz @VD15 They included a rootkit anti cheat system, nprotect gameguard. This anti cheat system interferes with the game, interferes with other programs, interferes with operation of computer hardware (it can lock your hard drive), and also runs in background exporting data to gameguard (filenames, search terms, browsing history).
     
     Gameguard sells this data to advertisers and other interested third parties, Sony and makers of Helldivers get a cut of the income. In fact game sales are a fraction of private data revenue income. This is why a PvE game which BY DEFINITION doesnt need an anticheat, has an anticheat installed.
