Co-op shooter Helldivers 2 was having fun with tons of success within the months since its February launch. Then, a couple of days in the past, Sony introduced that PC gamers needed to hyperlink (or create) a PlayStation Community account to proceed enjoying the sport. This enraged followers who’ve been enjoying for months, leading to an enormous review-bombing scheme that cratered Helldivers 2’s Steam rating. On Could 6, Sony reversed this mandate, and now Helldivers followers are corralling to elevate Arrowhead Sport Studios’ live-service multiplayer shooter overview again up on Steam, giving 1000’s of optimistic opinions in two days in what the group has dubbed “Main Order: Operation Clear Up.”

It was—and nonetheless is—one among 2024’s hottest video games, garnering tons of of 1000’s of gamers with its enjoyable, chaotic gameplay and intelligent storytelling. On Could 3, Sony instructed gamers that a PlayStation Community account was required to play the PC model of Helldivers 2. This mandate clearly riled up the group, with many going to (digital) warfare over it, review-bombing the sport on Steam and sharing offended posts on social media with such depth that Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt apologized for the difficulty. Three days after the announcement, Sony introduced it might take away the PlayStation Community account linking requirement.
Now Helldivers 2 followers have rallied to pay it ahead. Within the sport’s subreddit, a moderator dropped a brand new Main Order, that are predominant aims within the live-service shooter often handed down by Arrowhead, calling for followers to reverse their destructive opinions.
“Sony has reversed their resolution to maneuver ahead with the account linking replace,” the submit, created by OmegaXesis on Could 6, reads. “Helldivers; do you have to select to simply accept this main order. Please think about reversing your steam overview. Arrowhead has labored very exhausting to make this sport particular, and also you the participant have proven each Sony and Arrowhead that your voice issues too. Allow us to restore Helldivers 2 on steam again to its former glory. And allow us to restore this group again to regular. Please reverse any destructive opinions you left for every other video games that Arrowhead or Sony has labored on. Let’s do higher as a group and never do this once more.

On the time of writing, over 75,000 optimistic opinions have been submitted for the reason that Main Order was delivered, elevating Helldivers 2‘s Steam score from “largely destructive” to “combined.” With over 600,000 opinions proper now, the sport has a “largely optimistic” score general, but when this Main Order continues as deliberate, I’ve little doubt that Helldivers 2 will, as OmegaXesis stated within the subreddit, return to its former glory of “overwhelmingly optimistic” opinions on Steam. For his half, Pilestedt stated he’s impressed with the group’s “willpower” to collaborate collectively and impact change.
I suppose good issues occur if you use your voice.
