SNOY DOES IT AGAIN WITHIN A DAY
Sony has now delisted Helldivers 2 from being purchased on Steam in 177 countries. It also seems at least some people in those countries who have already purchased the game, can no longer play it
Super Earth Map (whatever that means) according to SNOY

This is all good and fine but the redditors have drawn the line at
SONY doesn't allow Ukraine players to register PSN account without buying PS4-PS5, basically locking them out of playing Helldivers 2 even if they are in PSN available country
NOO NOT HECKIN UKRAINERINO!!
Oh I'm doubly fricked. I'm from Lugansk. Ukrainian land that is now part of Russia. Whether you recognise it or not is one thing but I'm fricked as either Russian or Ukrainian.
If one thing that can end the slavshit wars its g*mers uniting over not being to able to play a gayme! π€
So let me get this straight. Sony wanted the game to require PSN from the start but due to technical difficulties they allowed a grace period where it was optional. So they released the game on Steam for every Country eventhough they knew that when this period ends many wouldnt be able to play anymore due to PSN not being available in their Country And the funniest part to me here is that they were selling the game to Countries where youre required to own a PS4/5 to make an Account
Imagine buying a game on your PC so you can play it on PC but then you need to buy an entire $150-350 Console so that youre able to continue playing a game you bought months ago
Thank you SNOY
However the real reason has always been ability to BAN !chuds more effectively as evidenced here
this is a apparently who deleted xeir entire twitter
Apparently all the "Community Managers" were Reddit/Groomercord mods from the previous Helldivers game
Most of their community managers are reddit power mods from the original game.
For those who think this is hyperbole, it isn't. They are literally the reddit mods lol
Yeah Spitz was the Groomercord mod for the original Helldiver Groomercord until he shut it down because he's a power-tripping loser.
Can you elaborare? I played HD1 but never joined the groomercord server. Not even here. Was he/she an butt since the beginning?
Yeah, pretty much. Spitz has always been snarky and had an attitude with people. It's their literal job to interact with the community in a positive way to improve PR, but nope lol. It seems that HR had a Talk with Spitz which will probably only help in the short-term, but hopefully it made a lasting impression on them.
the harassment of s just doesn't end!!
If it was always the plan to block out non-PSN users, why did they even bother translating the game to languages like Russian and Chinese?

Furthermore, they sell special keys that can be activated in Russia to Russian distributors, such as Buka. Though it is impossible to buy the game directly in steam

Do More Than Review Bomb; Quit Playing
If you're gonna go out of your way to write a bad review out of principle, at the very least stop playing the game for the time being. These Corpo Heads already took our money and won't care about the reviews when the player count is almost 100k on Steam alone; if you care that much about the change then take a break and maybe dont play as much.
Its wishful thinking but nothing we do will be taken serious if we b-word and moan and still turn around and play the game for hours on end. If you dont feel that strongly about this PSN thing, that's fine; enjoy yourself! Just dont go review bombing a game and still clock in another 4 hours this week, if you cant hold yourself to a principle; dont expect others to. If it means that much to you; Review bombing is not enough; quit playing until they have a work around or issue complete refunds and an apology!
yeah telling gaymers not to gayme the latest gaymeslop
This is what in store for the future of Helldivers 2

Apparently Steam is refunding even if you played more than 2hrs
STEAM starting to issue refunds for players over the 2h playtime limit due to PSN https://old.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/1ck6ead/steam_starting_to_issue_refunds_for_players_over/
220HRS and Still refunded! !g*mers #FreeMoney

Sony Interactive Entertainment moved itself to CA for no reason
Sony itself is still in Japan but that's too high up to be making a decision like this

A lot of those are frog islands so it's strange they can't just create frog accounts since they are included in France and not like Puerto Rico that is technically US but not included in US

These look like the list of Steam regions to me, to allow for regional pricing. Most likely Sony had the thought "tick the countries where PSN accounts can be made, restrict the rest" without realising this meant that sovereign territories would also be excluded.
