Sony removed Helldivers 2 from sale in countries where PSN is not available. For example whole CIS region.
(programming.dev)
Here are a few discord comments about the situation from the Helldivers 2 discord:
Spitz isn't a dev, they're a Community Manager, and a tone deaf one at that.
Community manager or not,he still has a Vested interest in the games success. I think this is pretty clearly a Sony being shitty thing. I hope they are trying to find a better answer because I like Helldivers but I'm also not willing to deal with Sonys bullshit.
My saying they're a CM isn't my giving them a pass. But dev vs CM is an important distinction regardless. A CM should know how to address people publicly and not incite even more rage by belittling people's concerns. The only apology they gave so far was the most non-apology you could imagine too.
I don't disagree, but they also can't give a real apology without pissing off the publisher who can shut it all down period. They're damned if the do and damned if they don't.
