In the world of Helldivers 2, the ****** for managed democracy is seemingly never-ending. But sometimes, the battles extend beyond the frontlines of the war against the alien hordes. Earlier this year, the Helldivers community found itself embroiled in a different kind of conflict—one that pitted them against the very company that brought the game to life. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==The bond between Helldivers extends far beyond the battlefield. | Image Credit: PlayStation/ This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up The issue at hand? Sony’s controversial decision to require all PC players to link their Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account, effectively locking out gamers from 177 countries where PSN is not available. The backlash was swift and severe, with over 200,000 negative reviews flooding the game’s Steam page, bringing its overall rating down to “Mixed.” The Promise of a Helldivers 2 Review ***** Cape In the aftermath of this chaos, Arrowhead Game Studios made a promise to the community. As a way of acknowledging the players’ frustrations and celebrating their eventual victory, the studio announced that it would be releasing a special “Review *****” cape as a cosmetic item in the game. Chief Creative Officer Johan Pilestedt even went on record saying that the cape was ready to go, and that the team was just waiting for the right time to release it. But months have passed since then, and the cape is still nowhere to be seen. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up by This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up in This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up The post sparked a heated debate among the Helldivers 2 community, with some players arguing that the cape should be released as a matter of principle, while others questioned the appropriateness of celebrating a victory that never truly materialized.

In essence, the review ******** campaign only succeeded in securing access for those who had already bought the game – but for everyone else, the battle rages on. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up by This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up from discussionin This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up As one player pointed out, the focus should be on pressuring Sony to lift the region locking altogether, rather than on cosmetic rewards. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up by This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up from discussionin This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up It’s a sentiment that echoes throughout the Helldivers community—a sense that the ****** is far from over, and that celebrating now would be ********** at best, and insensitive at worst. For Arrowhead’s part, the studio has remained silent on the issue of the Review ***** cape in recent months. Whether this is due to ongoing negotiations with Sony, or simply a ******* to let the controversy **** down, is anyone’s guess. But one thing is clear: until all players have equal access to Helldivers 2, regardless of their country of origin, the promise of the Review ***** cape will remain unfulfilled. And for a community that prides itself on leaving no one behind, that’s a bitter pill to ********. What do you think about the Review ***** cape controversy? Should Arrowhead release the cape as a matter of principle or wait until the region-locking issue is resolved? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
