Sony's unfair attempt to make PSN account linking mandatory for Helldivers 2 players naturally provoked the community, leading to review bombers decimating the game's Steam page. But players want those negative reviews changed now that the publisher has scrapped its plan.

In a Reddit post aimed at players who had left a bunch of negative reviews on Helldivers 2's Steam page after Sony announced the update, review bombers called on them to change their negative comments. "We won! Go change your review if you haven't already," the post reads.
The fact that Helldivers 2 briefly surpassed Overwatch 2’s record for the most negative reviews on Steam is alarming. But the community’s stubbornness also forced one of the biggest video game publishers to change its dishonest strategy. Interestingly, review bombers also attacked Helldivers 1’s Steam page to get Sony’s attention.
But now, given the immense success of Helldivers 2 since its launch in February, it's only fair that reviews are rolled back to reflect the actual experience. As one player noted, "There's no reason Helldivers 2 should have more negative reviews than Overwatch 2."
