   With its player community up in arms and its reputation on fire - with 200,000 negative reviews landing in just three days - Sony has decided maybe Helldivers players on Windows don't need a PlayStation Network account after all.

   This comes a day after the game was removed from sale on Steam in 177 countries and dependencies because the PlayStation Network was not available there.
   
   Which also goes to show how widely available Steam is. They don't care if you live in the Aland Islands or Andorra or Antarctica, if your credit card works you're in.

     @TrevorGoodchild @Aether Just learnt about this yesterday. Apparently PC gamers aren't as willing as console gamers to roll over and let companies do whatever. PC Master Race for multiple reasons. :pepe_brightsmile:

     @Rasterman @Aether Two hundred thousand negative reviews in a matter of days. The game went from "Overwhelmingly Positive" to "Mixed", which is a kiss of death for the studio.
