UPDATE 5/6/2024: Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward. We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans.
Well, well, well. I see Sony wants to kill all the goodwill their game has garnered with this linking bullshit.
Apparently this is already a massive problem for people who are in countries that PSN is not avalible in, using a VPN to create an account to link to has resulted in getting banned. Also seeing as most players are already past the Steam refund window, this is utterly unacceptable.
I dont want to blame Arrowhead too much, this reeks of partnership/publisher meddeling. If they made it so that linking account is not required if crossplay is disabled, I would find that acceptable.
Whelp, it was fun while it lasted… Good job sony.

Note that the refund window is for it to be automatically approved. Beyond that it has to be manually reviewed.
I requested a refund. They said since it’s been 2 week they cannot provide a refund at this time.
Appeal. Everyone should do it. Force their hand.
I submitted a ticket to AH directly. But if that fails I’ll do another one with steam
I’ve heard that steam is approving pretty much all refunds for HD2 now, worth a try to request it again.
I hope so. I’ve been rejected 4 times now. But I keep trying
