Helldivers now delisted in 177 countries
Helldivers now delisted in 177 countries
Looks like Arrowhead might be moving forward with PSN despite "internal discussions".

What a terrible mess that would have been solved by blocking the purchase from countries without PSN from the beginning and through better communications..
-
The whole thing is a crap show from the start. I mean selling to places Sony knew couldn't get a PSN account, putting PSN as optional for months, and then making it mandatory after all of this was just a hellbomb waiting to explode.
They should have just left it as optional and disabled cross play of you didn't in my opinion.
-
Disabling crossplay is a good idea, anyway. PS5 teammates tend to be a lot worse than PC ones. I started getting vastly better teams when I turned it off.
Shame I won’t be getting any teams whatsoever now, since it seems like Valve is honoring refund requests regardless of playtime.
What a wild case study in earning good will and success only to immediately burn everything to the ground and salt the earth. It’s bonkers, man.

A good move, but a move that would have been a lot more appropriate before the game launched in the first place.
-
Pursuing a refund after a couple dozen hours. On try 2. Fingers crossed.
-
Open a support ticket. The refund system won’t do it for you.
I’ve seen multiple confirmations tonight that Valve is honoring refund requests regardless of play time.
-
You have to try over and over. First time is always automatically accepted or denied, according to time played or when you bought the game
-
3rd time is a charm? I'm really hoping I get a refund now, this is exactly why valve is so good and everybody loves them. Valve being a class act as usual.

Wow. The dumb bastards at Sony are actually ploughing ahead with this. Congratulations on killing a great game, morons.

We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had hype. We had a great PR. We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your shareholders up, sat back and have arrowhead make as much money on sales and micro transactions you ever wanted. It was perfect. But, no, you just had to fuck it up! You and your greed and your advertisers! You just had to want more money for advertising. If you'd done your job as a publisher, known your place among the players, Helldivers 2 would be fine right now and would have been the best damn live service currently being offered.

It makes sense to delist and stop new players from buying in those areas until the login stuff is sorted out.
-
Could be but who knows may be temporary, could be Sony.

-
177 Countries added to the Purchase Restricted List...
Edit: It's actually a mix of Countries and Territories (Including places like Guam, American Samoa, etc).
-
I wonder if it's a move by Valve or Sony
-
Could be a mix of the two, like Valve saying "look if you continue on with this plan we're going to issue blanket refunds to anyone in a non-PSN country" and Sony realizing they're putting their asses on the line (legally speaking) if they let sales in those countries continue.

I mean, they don't really have a choice at this point?
