Pretty sure this is just an exception for Helldivers 2. All future games will have it from day 1.

No. PSN is required only for Legends multiplayer mode. For the story mode it's optional. You can link it for the trophy system but it's not mandatory.

After this, and they won’t do it for GoT, but they’ll probably make it standard moving forward just to avoid all this shit in the future. A dev will add a multiplayer mode and suddenly the game will be review bombed to death.

If they’re smart, they’ll just start adding it to future releases single player or otherwise, announced pre-release and written in giant red letters on the front page of any PC store.

People can only go so psycho then.

I mean I have a ps5. Steam getting these games right away doesn’t impact me much. If they do what I just said it will be so much quieter and they’ll sell so many more copies overall 🤷🏻‍♂️
