Helldivers 2 shouldn’t worry about the linking requirement set by Sony

A little bit of research would have shown one of the biggest issues is PSN not being available in many of the countries Helldivers 2 was sold in. Typical lazy "journalism" or omitting a fact that goes against their narrative?

Edit: Even worse, they have another article that addresses that issue, yet didn't bother updating this one or directly linking that article to this one, typical lazy journalism.

I mean realistically how many copies did they sell in those countries? There's a reason psn doesn't support those countries and if the markets there were significant they'd have found a way to support those countries.

Realistically, if PSN was always an intended requirement, they should have never been sold on Steam to regions without PSN support in the first place.

Exactly this. But we know how corporations think. They want their cake and to eat it as well.

It really doesn't seem like a legit issue. PlayStation console owners are able to get on PSN from any country. What have they been doing. They select the region closest to them. .

You can make a PSN account from another region and you don't even need a vpn to do that. Also you won't get banned for that unlike everyone is claiming.

I am in Canada and I have accounts from 3 other regions as well, haven't been banned even after 13 years of having them.

Eonjay13d ago

I don't understand the downvotes. You are correct. You can make a PSN account in the region closest to you.

I agree, I am from Philippines and my main account is NA which I created during PS3 Era together with Jap acct, EU acct, and SG acct. All of them are still active, I just used them to bought game from their region and still use my NA acct for trophies.

1) You're in Canada, a country that PSN operates in. That's not necessarily apples to apples.

2) The game didn't require a PSN account. It was optional. People bought the game based on it being optional. To then force it just isn't ok.

Gotcha
So if something is a common thing we shouldn't worry about it
Good to know common = ok

The main tip that I would tell a new player is: know how and when to pick your fights. Sometimes it's better to avoid a skirmish altogether and focus on the missions. And if you are indeed starting a fight, try to end is as soon as possible and focus on the smallers enemies first, because if you get rid of all those bastards then they won't call for backup and you'll have time to finish the bigger threats

Good, we need more people fighting for SuperEarth

The countries added back are US territories, which shouldn't have been restricted in the first place. So far, this doesn't seem like a change to Sony's stance on countries that don't support PSN.
