There wasn't until something happened which caused 100 countries and territories to be barred from purchasing the game on Steam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think there is a risk that Sony will do the same? Pull the game from PSN... in regions where it isn't even sold and on PSN? Can't delist something that doesn't exist. Helldivers 2 has zero risk of being delisted from PSN any time soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full list of places banned has been making it's rounds. Puerto Rico was one of the regions which was pulled from Steam and has some different rules when making a PSN account for that region. Everything right now is happening fast and nobody really knows what's going to be the end result. So some places seem to have PSN to some degree but are now being grabbed by Steam to be delisted for Helldivers 2. The Philippines is another one where they have PSN but are going to get the game pulled from Steam. https://steamdb.info/sub/137730/history/?changeid=23416542 Edited May 5 by Sendai-Horatio 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUDGER666 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I don't do PC anymore but that Helldivers 2 thing is one dumbest things Sony has ever done. Absolutely baffling decision, who the hell thought that was a good idea. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hoping there weren't many people who started the game on PC hoping to carry their progress over to PS5 with the promised cross progression, cause that's goodbye to that idea. Glad the kernel level anticheat prevented me from being part of that statistic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Helldivers 2 players got their win. It's already been mentioned that this a planned thing for every Sony published title on PC and Ghost of Tsushima Multiplayer is already the next confirmed PC Port to require this. https://kotaku.com/ghost-of-tsushima-pc-playstation-network-steam-psn-1851457950 15 hours ago, Ryan Industries said: Edited May 6 by Lord_Bane999 Double post 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GeminiEntity Posted May 6 Popular Post Share Posted May 6 Just a suggestion, I feel another topic should be made for the PC situation. It doesn't seem to have any effect on the Sony/PlayStation side of things, which is what this topic and site is all about. It would help keep it more clean and accurate. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're smart, they make it an option but not mandatory. So, they probably make it mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funboy1246 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 They should have made this optional from the start and not a requirement months in. They're drastically cutting their potential player base by a not unsignificant amount. big Sony L on this one. maybe they'll get their heads out of thier asses and figure that out before its too late but i aint holding my breath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSmiz Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Make it optional but give a swanky cape/armour set if you do link accounts. That was all Sony had to do. It was that easy. Instead, they flubbed this in the worst way possible. Even though they've walked it back and people are changing their negative reviews back, the damage is done. The trust isn't there anymore from PC players and I can't blame them for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
