This is annoying in a way, but really, how is this any different than buying an EA or Ubisoft game on steam? I mean, besides that it’s actually a good game. This bullshit has been normalized for awhile and isn’t a surprise.
They’re delisting in regions without PSN. The irony of Helldivers is they backpedaled on PSN requirement but left it delisted in those countries. So people who already bought it can still play but new people can’t buy, so the player base is steadily declining.
Yeah, the previous Sony games on PC can be bought anywhere in the world but in Russia, yet the latest cannot be purchased in 170 countries, including some EU members like Estonia and Lithuania.

Who says it is different? Some time ago, I wanted to buy South Park: The Fractured but Whole on Steam, but when I saw the Ubisoft account requirement, I immediately close the tab.
As you should, good job. I guess I failed to elaborate - I think unfortunately it will still sell very well, as has been demonstrated by other companies doing this. I don’t expect Sony to stop, they had the opportunity, are doubling down, and it does suck. I guess I have a hard time being outraged when really it’s nothing new. Same shit, different company.

I believe the issue is they are way more region limited and you could buy the game but not be able to access it due to that region limitation.
Could be wrong, all I know is from the hell divers chaos

It isn’t, and shouldn’t be normalised but criticised. Yet people buy into this shit anyway
