Helldivers 2 community manager says internal discussions are ongoing regarding mandatory PSN account link - lemm.ee

Well, they said they would ‘discuss’ the crappy anticheat too, but so far nothing has been done about that either. I won’t hold my breath.
I know little about it. What makes this stand out? I am guessing kernal level, but is there anything else to it?
Just search “Sony Rootkit” and it should be more clear why Sony issuing a new kernel level anticheat is not met with warm regards.

It's not really a new anti cheat though.

nProtect Gameguard (the one they use) is probably one of the few that supports the engine Helldivers uses (Autodesk Stingray/Bitsquid)
