Steam is pulling the plug on Helldivers 2 in more than 100 countries.
This is definitely not how Sony imagined it! The new PSN account requirement, which was planned from the start but could not be implemented for technical reasons and has now been activated months after its release on May 3rd, has resulted in Steam Helldivers 2 being canceled 177 countries has banned.
The reason for the blocking in these countries is the new mandatory PSN ID link, which is required by Sony but is not possible!
Furthermore, players can request a refund of the purchase price on Steam, even if they have played for more than two hours.
Some players report playing for more than 100 hours and getting their money back.
TO UPDATE: In case you’re wondering why there are so many countries in the end. It has now also emerged that in some countries it is mandatory to create a PSN ID (for example Ukraine). PlayStation console required is. Also the Support advises players to purchase a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 console and then create a PSN account on the console so they can continue playing on the PC.
Here is an excerpt:
“Thank you for contacting the Playstation Network User Information Center!”
“In response to your query, we would like to inform you that registering an account for the Ukraine region is possible only through the console itself.”
So you have to imagine that first. PC players on Steam who have purchased Helldivers 2 normally and can no longer play because they cannot register a PSN account will be asked by Sony support to purchase a PlayStation 4/5 console in order to be able to use the Register your console for a PSN account so that you can then link your profile on your PC so that you can continue playing the game on your PC.
It’s getting slow strange!
