Late night tweet from the official PlayStation X account confirms they will no longer force the linking of your PSN account to your PC copy of Helldivers 2.

100%. A distinct lack of a commitment to not requiring PSN. A simple sentence would have sufficed " current steam players will never be required to add a PSN account to Helldivers, it will be an optional extra going forward." Gives them weasel room to make it a requirement for new players etc etc etc
