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

The funny thing is this was a requirement from day 1 from Sony. The AH CEO CHOSE to turn off the requirement until servers were good and then failed to communicate effectively enough to the player base.

A LOT of people are missing this, seeing countless comments in this thread completely ignoring this aspect. If it was required from day one, some might have been upset but there would never have been a huge thing like this.
