Only as Sony announcedthat the plan for the imminent change was scrapped, many players began to correct their rating. However, four red bars remained, which led to a strange idea.
Helldivers 2 cape for 999.99 euros
Even though the PSN account debacle is likely to have a negative impact on “Helldivers 2,” parts of the community and the Arrowhead team don’t seem to be taking a too hard view of the matter.
On Twitter/X, Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt draws attention to the idea of a fan who sees the four red bars as a good template for a cape in “Helldivers 2”. “Plus, the random design of the cape is pretty cool. From a community member,” said Pilestedt.
A follower asked whether “Helldivers 2” players would get the cloak for free, whereupon Pilestedt jokingly referred to a price of 999.99 euros.

Since the PC community is quite willing to invest thousands of US dollars in ships or ship packages for “Star Citizen”, there are actually likely to be buyers. However, Arrowhead has no intention of charging such sums. “The team is currently thinking about a good name for it,” the CEO added.
For the best gaming experiences
Pilestedt previously responded to Sony's announcement today. He would like to thank his “partners and friends at PlayStation for quickly and effectively making the decision to keep PSN linking optional.”
Together we will set a new standard for “what a live game is and how developers and the community can support each other to create the best gaming experiences.”
While many PC gamers exclusively shoot against Sony, Pilestedt admitted over the weekend that some of the responsibility lies in his area. It was his decision to deactivate account linking when it was introduced. “We knew about 6 months before launch that this would be mandatory for PS Online titles,” it continues.
Why Sony and Arrowhead ignored the availability of the PlayStation Network remains a mystery – especially considering the fact that the PSN overlay had to be planned.
