The funny thing is I read it was removed because of the server issues. There are some people on Steam who already had their account linked because it was there day 1 and later removed. It's hilarious because Sony removed it to help the users out and then get spit on when trying to add it back.

Yeah, those who were able to link their accounts were in countries where PSN was supported. That really wasn't the issue since hundreds of online games use the exact same system. Unfortunately, well over 100 countries did NOT support PSN and yet Helldivers 2 was still being sold in those 100+ countries knowing this was going to be an issue when the server issues were eventually resolved. 

I'd prefer not to downplay this issue because it was a massive oversight where instead of working on the issue, Sony just pulled the game from those 100+ countries. At least Sony can use this as a learning experience. 

Yes the 100 countries was also another thing people were bringing up. Which IMO is a legitimate complaint.

The linking your account in general was also a big part of the issue here. I saw tons of reviews and people saying "I don't want to link my account to PSN." Then they were posting the past hacks that Sony was a victim of. In fact the 100 countries thing was a small part of the complaints from what I saw.
