Bro, Bungie is owned by PlayStation and even they have made cross-platform, Bungie-specific accounts the norm. I don't see why Arrowhead couldn't go with Arrowhead accounts, unless it's a cost issue. Otherwise there really isn't an excuse

Tell me you don’t understand anything about software without telling me…

Bungie can do that because they have a shit ton of resources. Arrowhead is 100 people total.

Future prospect then, if Arrowhead get to that point.

My point: it is possible to do independent, dev-based account tracking. Sony could have invested in Arrowhead to do that, but instead are clamping down and introducing exclusivity which will eventually hurt Helldivers 2's bottom line - something we might see starting with these community choices.
