Despite the fact that not all fans are in agreement, many Helldivers 2 supporters are hailing Arrowhead Studios as the “developer of the decade”due to their unwavering support and efforts, as well as the outcry from fans, which ultimately resulted in the reversal of Sony’s PSN account requirement.
The recent Sony and Helldivers 2 controversy has left a lasting impression on players, following the announcement that PC players would be required to create a PSN account in order to continue playing. While some were accepting of this requirement, others were quick to note that it would effectively exclude players from over 170 countries, as PSN is not accessible in many regions.
Despite facing significant backlash and receiving numerous negative reviews, Sony ultimately reversed their proposal due to strong support from Helldivers fans.
Ultimately, the efforts of Arrowhead Studios’ Director and Community Manager played a crucial role in making this possible, as they actively advocated for change and supported the community. The developers also teased the idea of a special cape symbolizing the community’s dedication to Helldivers 2.
Many fans have expressed their support for the developers and some have even dubbed them the “developer of the decade”on the Helldivers 2 Reddit.
One user praised Arrowhead for their dedication to prioritizing their players and the game above all else, stating that they are true examples of developers who always put their players first. They also expressed their desire for Arrowhead to receive recognition and awards for their exceptional service to the game and its community.
Despite the majority agreeing, there were still a few critiques directed towards the developers. Some suggested that Larian should have taken on the mantle instead. Others expressed their frustrations with the Sony issues, indicating that many in the community have not forgotten about the lack of communication.
One user pointed out that there were major bugs for 2 months, yet the developers were awarded ‘dev of the decade’ because the community successfully fought against Sony. Another user questioned the reason for this reward, stating that the developers didn’t do anything and instead made a mistake with their announcement.
Despite the continued popularity of Arrowhead and Hellidvers 2, it may be necessary for them to improve their gameplay in order to attract more members of the community.
