Was the account linking mentionned anywhere on steam?

~~It's really feels like a new condition sneaked in...~~ Edit: apparently it was clearly stated on steam and on the first launch of the game. I really have bad skipping habits...

The "it's to protect players against hakerzzzzz" doesn't feel very legit.

This is absolutely a Sony push to get more data the game was released without the need of having a ps account

But they own Arrowhead. They already have 100% of the data and telemetry.

No they don't?

Helldivers 2 was produced with a Sony publishing deal, but unless I missed some news, Arrowhead is still independently owned.

If you make a PSN account you have to agree to their ToS, which probably lets them do more than a EULA does.

It also boosts user numbers, which looks good on paper.

How else are they going to make their subscription numbers look like they are going up when no one is buying PS5s?

If you read the announcement, it's obviously a very carefully worded prepared statement from Sony that they've been given and ordered to pass out. The hackers reasoning is made up and just the best excuse they could come up with, Sony wants more data in their environment and they're being forced to comply.
