I astir apt don't request to punctual you of that full Helldivers 2 fiasco, wherever they tried to marque logging into a PSN a request for those connected PC and aboriginal scrapped this due to the fact that it went down horrendously. However, determination has been 1 different snag that came with each this PSN nonsense: portion locking.

This has applied to Sony's different PC ports of their PlayStation published games, but now, arsenic shared by deals wizard Wario64, it seems a fistful of them are present (mostly) portion fastener free.

From what I tin archer determination haven't been immoderate changes made to different PlayStation games based connected their logs connected SteamDB, but I'm besides not wholly definite which games were and weren't portion locked, truthful your mileage whitethorn alteration with their wider portfolio.

It's a bully determination guardant astatine least!
