A Major “PSN fiasco” Could Be Why Helldivers 2 Is Delaying the Release of a Simple Cape

In Helldivers 2, players battle against hordes of aliens to spread democracy, but the game faced its own battle when Sony suddenly required all players to link Steam accounts to PSN, sparking massive backlash and outcry. The game emerged from this controversy, with its reputation ruined, but it survived.

To commemorate that survival, the developers promised a special reward: the Review Bomb cape as a gesture of goodwill acknowledging the passionate outcry from the community. It’s been months since the promise was made, and the reward is still not here. However, it looks like some fans have figured out why.

The promised cape is still nowhere to be found in Helldivers 2

The controversy began when Sony announced that all PC players of Helldivers 2 were required to link their Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network (PSN) account, weeks after release. This sudden requirement was not appreciated by players and resulted in a wave of negative reviews.

Faced with this massive backlash, Sony reversed its decision, removing the PSN account requirement for the players. In response to the community’s determination, Arrowhead promised a special reward for players: the “Review Bomb” cape.

The cape was meant to acknowledge the collective effort of the player base in voicing their frustration and bringing about change. However, the damage was done, not only the game’s reputation was tarnished but also many countries where PSN is not available effectively blocked players from playing the game.

This is the reason why players think that the Review bomb cape is still not available in the game. The speculation is that Arrowhead is holding off on the reward for the ‘right time’, meaning when all players, regardless of their region, have access to the game.

The thread is filled with players who understand the reasons since they know that the game is all about camaraderie and the idea of rewarding only a portion of the player base with the cape would not be fitting, especially when the spirit of the reward was meant to celebrate a global community effort.

Players looking ahead to the future

As players continue to wait for the promised cape, many are hoping that the release of the reward will mark the end of the Helldivers 2 PSN fiasco. The global gaming community is looking ahead to a time when all players, regardless of location, can enjoy the game equally.

For this reason, the cape represents more than just a cosmetic item, it symbolizes a victory over an unfair restriction. The game has once again regained its reputation through the hard work of the developer, there are still many players waiting to get their chance to spread democracy.

It would be amazing to see those players once again join the battle against various enemy factions. This is why players are eager for the future, hoping to see the game fully recover from the controversy and its ripple effects on the community.

In the end, the battle for democracy knows no end. While players continue to fight off aliens, the developers face their epic quest to make the PSN issue disappear once and for all. Until then, the promised cape remains a distant prize on the horizon.
