    A couple of things we’re learning here:

    1. Your personal data in PSN is more profitable than actually selling the game in 180 other countries.

    2. The continued enforcement and even expansion of the delisting in these countries, which we now know was done by Sony is proof-positive that they’re just going to try again to enforce this at a later date.

      It won’t happen, though part of me just wishes ol’ Gaben would up and find a loophole in the Sony contract and tell the Helldiver 2 devs to directly partner with Steam. Not because I think it’s a legitimately good idea; because the pure chaos this would cause would be extraordinary.

    “Quick quick! More reviews need to switch to positive!”

    It’s funny how we don’t see these people around here anymore and none of them will admit they were wrong, right?

    Glad I got downvoted a week ago for pointing out that changing reviews to positive was a bad idea.

      I changed my review to positive and realised i got played , its back to negative now and will stay that way until the 3rd party requirement notice on steam is gone and all the countries are unblocked. The people who refuse to admit they got duped are just coping like hell. I for one believe

      My bad review is staying for posterity. People forget too easy.

      The important date is between May 30th and June 5th. I keep track of these things and if Sony ends up enforcing PSN again making it impossible for the people who bought the game in blacklisted regions to be played, then I’ll return my review to negative permanently.

    170 countries are being undemocratically denied the sweet liberty of managed democracy.

    My review stays negative until super earth is liberated.

    Do you have the strength and courage to be free?

    It really is amazing how Sony is still learning to kill off their own games.

    The major order has less players because of Sony’s stupid push to bulk up PSN numbers.

      I think it’s fair to say Sony actually doesn’t care about a successful game or not. They want a permanent recurring slice of the PC gaming market pie. Games be damned. They want their own platform like epic
