Sony Will Soon Require 'Helldivers 2' PC Gamers To Link Their Steam Accounts To PSN, Angering Users: "Players who made Steam purchases of Helldivers 2 are now, months after the fact, being told by Sony that their games will be useless unless linked to a PSN account," writes longtime Slashdot reader Baron_Yam. From a report: Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment announced today that Helldivers 2 players on Steam will soon be required to link their in-game profiles to a PlayStation Network account -- a feature that was optional at launch due to "technical issues" -- or risk losing access to the game. SIE explained that account linking allows players to take advantage of "safety and security" provided by PlayStation, as it can more easily protect folks from "griefing and abuse by enabling the banning of players that engage in that type of behavior." Many Steam players haven't responded well to the news. As of the time of writing, over 2,500 negative user reviews have been submitted to the game's storefront page today, blemishing an otherwise spotless "Very Positive" rating. Some reviews cite data harvesting and security concerns as potential worries. Others point to the fact that Sony waited months after launch to make account linking mandatory. How this affects players in regions that don't have access to the PlayStation Network is a bigger concern, though. In the Helldivers 2 Discord, community manager Thomas 'Twinbeard' Petersson said they aren't yet sure what these rule changes meant for players in areas without PSN access, which could be another factor contributing to the negative downturn.

📌 Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712 - how it looks to make a perfect watch even better… Nautilus is a classic, there’s no arguing about that. Since 1978, when it was first released, PP made many iterations of the original model, but they’ve been mostly very conservative. And that's where the 5712 comes into play.  The differences Even though the typical Nautilus and its younger sibling have many things in common, there is one big difference: the Nautilus 5712 has three subdials - a power reserve indicator, a moon phase display, and a date subdial with a small seconds hand. Most people are used to a simple blue dial, maybe a date window. But having a moon phase or power reserve indicator? This moves the watch to a whole other level. 👉 Other info The Nautilus 5712 comes either in stainless steel or rose gold (5712R), quite similar to the basic Nautilus. The watch also comes in a 40mm diameter, which is very convenient. As a beautiful touch, its automatic movement, the Caliber 240 PS IRM C LU, is visible through a sapphire crystal case back, which is very nice. The price of this model used to about around $45,000, but those days are long gone. Today, if you wish to own this watch, be prepared to spend north of $100,000. It’s not cheap, but we assure you, it’s worth it.
