Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Helldivers 2 Helldivers 2 players are celebrating the defeat of Sony, having complained enough to force PlayStation to retract its demand that new and existing players would have to link their Steam accounts to a PSN account to keep playing. Many didn’t want to at baseline, but in 177 regions, it wasn’t even possible to make a PSN account to begin with without using a VPN (which goes against PlayStation TOS). Thing reached DEFCON levels in the community when PlayStation actually delisted Helldivers 2 from sale in those 177 regions, with player anger reaching a boiling point that sparked the reversal of the PSN decision shortly thereafter.
But it does not appear to be “Mission Accomplished” after all, as those 177 regions, for some reason, are still in limbo. They still cannot buy the game again. While it may seem obvious and logical that if this PSN demand was no longer happening, there was no reason that the game should not be on sale in those countries again.
However, that’s not what Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt is saying, and that it’s not a done deal for some reason. Here he is answering the posed question on Discord when asked about the delisting issue: “Sorry no, I’m speaking to our partners at PlayStation and Valve for it to be undone. Getting the account linking took a herculean effort – but I won’t rest in my desire to have it available everywhere.
