Steam Pulls Helldivers 2 From Unsupported Psn Countries

The change was first spotted on the Helldivers 2 SteamDB page. Under the Updates tab, it can be seen that Steam has updated the ‘PurchaseRestrictedCountries‘ parameter and added the list of countries that cannot access the PlayStation Network.
This means Steam gamers in a non-PSN country will no longer be able to buy Helldivers 2. The change has already started to reflect in storefronts, with stores like the Philippines already locked out of the buy button.
Steam is offering refunds to gamers who have already bought Helldivers 2 in unsupported nations. The company has lifted the two-hour limit it imposes, as this case is an exception. Nonetheless, that means long-standing Helldivers who used to enjoy the game now have no choice.
As of writing this, Helldivers 2 has dropped down to ‘Mostly Negative,’ with only 21% of the reviews in the last 30 days being positive. I don’t know about you, but nothing seems positive here. It’s now painfully clear that the ball is in Sony’s court. What happens next? While your guess is as good as mine, I do think this decision just might be here to stay. But what do you think?
