It apparently started when SNOY started mandating linking PSN accounts to steam/PC version of the game
/r/PCGaming: Helldivers 2 to require linking Steam account to a Playstation account starting on May 6th. It was previously optional due to technical issues at launch
/r/Games : HELLDIVERS 2 Account Linking Update
The revolution begins
Aftermath:
/r/steam : Helldivers 2 went from one of the most beloved Steam games to one of the most hated pretty quickly
PCGaming :
ENTIRE /r/Helldivers
Devs trying to put out the fire

Correct, however when Facebook pushed it's account they had a marked drop in users. I wonder whether Sony is seen as more like Microsoft or Facebook.
