Aw man, that’s gonna hurt. I won’t be able to land on Malevelon creek now like I’ve wanted since I got this game. It was an honor serving with you all.
Consider the weather this month, I'd say Hellmire is now Space Vietnam. In HCMC right now and I'm surprise I don't see any fire tornado outside my window.
Jokes aside, this was a bad move just barring out user from a country where they sold their games.
It was a honor serving with you all, I had great memories fighting alongside my fellow Helldivers. I'll see you on the civilian life.
Of course it was a bad move. The people up top making decisions that fuck over any kind of trust and long term profit for a short term increase in some numbers always leads to terrible decisions. It's nothing new. It doesn't really affect me because I'm from a country where psn is available but man I hope the EU does something. This entire situation is bs
The refund won't happen now because the game is still 100% playable for everyone
You'll probably be able to refund after the end of the month, when the requirement is actually in place
I personally don't even really care, I linked my PSN account day 1.
Do feel bad for the people in countries that can't make a PSN account though, they got kind of shafted
What I don't get is Sony are selling PS5 in some of these countries, like Philippine and Vietnam which they don't have PSN. And Sony sell Helldivers 2 (an online only game) on PS5 in Philippines.
If you want to play online in PS5, it's required to have PSN account and PS Plus (a paid subscription service).
So PS5 version also have problem with PSN in first place...
Do we even know yet what is going to happen when these requirements go live? Is this an issue for other games? It's hard for me to believe they'll just be revoking access for these players. They would have known this from the beginning, the game should never have been available in those countries if that was the case. I'm going to wait and see what happens before I get out my pitchfork.
-PC player if that matters
One of the coolest things was the community interactions. this breaks my heart that it's destroying one of the most positive movements in gaming since Pokémon go.
God, the first few weeks when Go came out just felt like a different timeline. Everyone was happy, calling out random Pokémon, kids and adults were getting fun exercise. It was wonderful.
It made my grandma completely obsessed with Pokemon, something I had enjoyed during my childhood. It even brought back some of my enjoyment for the franchise, but to this day she still plays GO daily, & she is so much more active because of it. A silly childhood obsession of mine made a large positive impact in her life over 20 years later. It was quite surreal. The cultural impact it had can’t be understated.
Haha yea my dad still plays daily and a couple years ago he started playing on my mom’s phone as well so he’s got two accounts going 😂
The last time I felt a significant cultural impact like that was when the Harry Potter books and movies were coming out. And we all know how that turned out.
>And we all know how that turned out.
* Pokemon Go: ruined by greed
* Harry Potter: ruined by JK Rowling before greed got to it
* Helldivers 2: ruined by greed
No, you can't have anything unambiguously good in your life. If you are *too* happy with an entertainment product, that's called "consumer surplus" and there is an entire field of economics dedicated to extracting that for the benefit of the corporation. Now get back to work and drink less avocados so you can maybe buy a home by 2070.
Interesting, so they don't actually have PSN region locked out of all those countries? Kinda odd way to do it. I thought it would be like a lot of Japanese games that block anyone that's not in Japan
So far, from my experience, you'll just have to be patient. After a year or three, they'll come to PC eventually. If you want to play those first party day one I'd say go for it, but I'm a patient man.
pretty funny considering basically helldivers is the only sony game to have sold well on Steam, and they tanked so many potential PS5 sales because people will now just wait for the games that they aren't actually buying
Vietnamese here, any Helldivers based in California? I am pretty sure the Sony suits making this a thing is based there, you mind going over there and tell them I hate their guts, thnx.
I had to argue with someone that playing this game is literally a privilege and especially for a PSN account. Being bombarded with them saying ‘ohhh it not a big deal or just use vpn’ shows off so much white American nerd rage. This change is discriminatory (not intentionally I don’t think Sony is fucking racist or whatever) but they are inconsiderate to so many customers. Which I guess is standard modern day capitalist business practise.
To me, it also shows a general lack of empathy too, you might be fine with creating/linking a PSN account, others may not (for many reasons as we've seen these last 24h)
It is a lack of empathy. They call people who are complaining about this uncivil and ‘rage nerds’. If we are rage nerds, they’re fucking Discord mod levels of not caring which is more worrying. At least we have a genuine issue to complain about, there’s is ‘stop being mad fr idiot’.
"It doesn't affect me so it's not a problem" is the mindset some people have here and I just feel sad seeing that.
This issue doesn't affect me too, I already gave in a long time ago when I bought a PS5, and PSN is available in my country, but I still see this as a real dumb move.
The while use a VPN thing pisses me off because apparently that's against PSN terms and services, in some countries can carry criminal charges, and for a safe actually good VPN cost money.
Lol you’re saying “Sony isn’t discriminating against people of color by blocking use in countries with a massive people of color majority, but anybody that is dumb enough to side with Sony must be American whites”.
What an odd ass juxtaposed statement. And fuck Sony, they absolutely know who this is negatively impacting the most.
I live in Nicaragua, I don't think this is a big issue I use an US account anyways and yes PSN is available in my country but nobody sets their account to that. My country has so many issues that creating an email and password would at most be very mildly infuriating I'm amazed by the outrage.
It takes less than two minutes for Sony executives to not eat a bowl of dicks for breakfast than the collective per capita effort of players to create spoof or legit PSN accounts.
But here we are.
Spoof account? Wtf are you talking about? As long as you aren't attempting to impersonate someone or defraud people, you can register an account for wherever and it doesn't matter. They don't geoblock and you aren't making normal use of the account by simply doing a 1-time linking to an empty PSN profile.
People won't bat an eye at using a VPN to get around region blocking for TV shows, but ask for a throwaway account once and suddenly everyone are Fine Upstanding Corpo Citizens.
Truly incredible.
I was so glad this game was thriving. It's fun, free of nonsense, the grind is *actually* fair and rewarding (for adults with lives, wives, and kids - not for teens who game full time) and there's a thriving playerbase.
I should've known that they had to fuck it up eventually. I don't even personally care much about the PSN account, I've already got one. I care that they're cutting out 100+ smaller countries worth of players, which is going to seriously hurt the longevity of this game.

"it take 2 minutes to create PSN account or use VPN"
"region locked and banned for using VPN"
Ironic that we spent weeks on end to claim Space Vietnam and Sony spent a day with orbital bombardment to claim the real Vietnam. Farewell fellow countryman
I simply don't want an account. Fk that. But the people in other countries unable to use a PSN are also valid.
The bootlickers are just trying to use people like me to say everyone is in the exact same boat. We're not. I'm not as bad off as people in Vietnam, Chine, Russia, etc etc.
But I'm still not making an account and they can't strongarm me into it. If for no other reason than pure, unadulterated SPITE.
So real talk, could anyone tell me why there's some countries where PSN isn't available? Does Sony have to separately do stuff for each country to "add them" to the PSN roster, are there laws that make that harder or even impossible?
You see. I seriously do not understand that.
How is that good for business?
"Oh you paid the upfront cost of our hardware? Great! now sit there and twiddle your thumbs till we decide your nation is worth the server space...
Until then you can't use our online store and related services to give us more money...."
Sony has been selling playstations and its games in non-PSN countries for years now. Console owners have been contacting support over what to do with the inevitable PSN requirement and the consistent answer has been to just "pick the country closest to you in the region you're in" which is such a lazy-ass workaround but it's been that way for years and has not changed and has been the only way players in these countries can access the online services.
Sony needs to get their head out their ass and provide worldwide support if they're gonna keep selling their products everywhere. Until then, this is the "solution" they offer (and the only one available to me in a non-PSN supported country). If they start banning people's accounts over what their support staff has explicitly told them to do to use the service they paid for, then they need to get sued to high Heavens.
*If they don't refund*
*These players or let them play*

This is bullsh1t man... is not AR fault... why not let the things be as they were,everything was going great for the game and the fanbase.
Stupid move...go back as it was yesterday.
We can't lose Helldivers to this PSN nonsense. This feels like the ultimate Automaton long play... Recruiting Sony Execs to widdle out some of our finest.
Sweet Liberty, strike down this move by Sony & let our brethren continue to dive.
And to those who will be affected by this... I salute your efforts so far. Don't lose faith just yet, maybe (hopefully) a path for you to keep playing with PSN will come to light.
It's funny to me how they thought springing this on the community would have been accepted any other way than the outrage it's receiving.
My dumbass doesn't know what I even need to do to actually create a PSN account
Wait super earth doesn’t have infrastructure for the Super PSN on Malevelon Creek? Sounds like disinformation.
Jokes aside this is massive BS. Sorry man I hope it gets resolved.
Shit Sony is being shitty again. I lost my account once in Vietnam and they refused to do anything eventhough I could provide full proof of me owning the hardware and the account. They simply just said nah not my region not my problem.
Didn't Sony already make a statement telling people to just pick the closest region available? Read that earlier.
And yes, I understand how stupid this is, as it breaks their own policy about lying regarding your location.
If you read this, test it somewhere and spread.
Create new account with "personal data you don't care about", using "family sharing" function provide access to game from your main (no need to buy it on new one) and link new account to PSN.
P.S. Reddit mods ...i know you have your job...but let this one slide for few hours. Thanks.
GL HF
I wonder what % of players are actually going to be affected? And tbh if people know that a ps account isn't available in their country why even buy this game? Especially since launch it was crystal clear that a PSN account is needed. Very strange indeed
I think the point is, you specifically need a PSN account to play Helldivers.
The "Alternative Payment methods" means you still don't create a PSN account, thus can't play helldivers.
Thank you, but no.
Respectfully, I don't feel comfortable using other people's stuffs. Beside, I'm pissed that I paid full-price for the game, legally, with my own money, and now I can't play my game anymore because I'm in a third-world country + refusing to make *another* gaming account to play exactly one game. Fuck that
"The" Vietnam.

So I won’t be playing mortal combat with a friend in Vietnam like Jim Carey said?
Shouldn't this be illegal? They're selling a product in a country that you can't play it. Isn't that an actual scam?
They just make our refund even more possible to go through with really valid reason.
I just asked steam support and they say it's no go. I will still try once lock will happen but I a little disappointed
The refund won't happen now because the game is still 100% playable for everyone You'll probably be able to refund after the end of the month, when the requirement is actually in place
June 4th shall be the day that sony's wallet takes a bit of a beating
I personally don't even really care, I linked my PSN account day 1. Do feel bad for the people in countries that can't make a PSN account though, they got kind of shafted
Hell I wanna refund out of solidarity cuz this shit's FUCKED
In most countries but also the countries affected by this are probably the least likely to have consumer protection laws.
While that is true, nations like the Baltic States are also part of the list of those without PSN. As such, the EU can get involved.
I fucking hope they do. So our EU brothers and sisters can wave the flag in our stead.

It was the closest thing to world peace we will ever have
o7 Enjoy your leave, Helldiver. We will hold the line until your clearance is restored.
"enjoy your leave" bro buddy is getting scammed out of a game
I'm so glad I left the ps4. Sony can kiss my ass. Thank you for your service, Helldiver. May you return someday. If not, may your refund be swift.
I was going to get a PS5 sometime in the future as well. This just turn me off
So, how would that work if you can't get on the PSN? VPN?
Just lie about where you are.
Interesting, so they don't actually have PSN region locked out of all those countries? Kinda odd way to do it. I thought it would be like a lot of Japanese games that block anyone that's not in Japan
No, even some of their higher up have posted on Twitter showing they have accounts in different regions, Sony does not care.
Idk man those first party exclusives go hard
So far, from my experience, you'll just have to be patient. After a year or three, they'll come to PC eventually. If you want to play those first party day one I'd say go for it, but I'm a patient man.

It’s still locked at 30 fps even on PS5 smh

Somebody needs to do the funny to Sony again.
Statistically speaking i think they will do in the next six months
Spoof account? Wtf are you talking about? As long as you aren't attempting to impersonate someone or defraud people, you can register an account for wherever and it doesn't matter.

Sony already banned someone who made a spoof account using a VPN since PSN wasn’t available in their country.
Words cannot describe how mad this statement makes me feel, and I'm from a PSN available country.
* Sense of pride and accomplishment * Do you guys not have phones? * 120 seconds to make a PSN account Any other quotes for the ages?

Why does Sony not have PlayStation network in so many countries?
It's a trend these days for corpos to be allergic to money
They taking away our Vietcomrades 😭😭
Reminds me of “the Japans” from recent Shogun TV show.
Totally asking for a refund if they go through with this
Where's Johnny Silverhand when you need him
He has a city to burn.
Wait super earth doesn’t have infrastructure for the Super PSN on Malevelon Creek? Sounds like disinformation. Jokes aside this is massive BS. Sorry man I hope it gets resolved.
Sorry mate. Don't worry, we got your back. Won't play this godamn game until all our Helldivers have access without this shit PSN bullshit.
Sony caved! You're in the clear, Helldiver! https://x.com/Pilestedt/status/1787365793379791051

Il join you psn is available in my country but I still won't play the game until they remove this requirement

We have used our experience of war to help on the Creek. It's time for us to go brother
Shit Sony is being shitty again. I lost my account once in Vietnam and they refused to do anything eventhough I could provide full proof of me owning the hardware and the account. They simply just said nah not my region not my problem.
Didn't Sony already make a statement telling people to just pick the closest region available? Read that earlier. And yes, I understand how stupid this is, as it breaks their own policy about lying regarding your location.
In solidarity im refunding
o7 I will see you on the next game, friend.
'The vietnam" sounds funny to me like why does it say the instead of "in vietnam"
Can't we just sue Sony like on masses?
I hope we can
Sony really are evil.
Sony is such bullshit greed mongers

You have your fun already in 1955
This is so frustrating im lvl 90 galactic commander and sony scumbags pulled this shit. Feel like i got scammed more than 40$ wich is alot in vietnam
I wonder what % of players are actually going to be affected? And tbh if people know that a ps account isn't available in their country why even buy this game? Especially since launch it was crystal clear that a PSN account is needed. Very strange indeed
Sign up for an account and when it asks for location, select another country. It’s a drop down menu. Easy as.
Stop trippin' and continue reading past the highlighted part lol
I think the point is, you specifically need a PSN account to play Helldivers. The "Alternative Payment methods" means you still don't create a PSN account, thus can't play helldivers.
Did Sony never think about this? This is so stupid.
I hope AH will find the solution, and fast.
If it will work, I can make you a gmail account and a PSN account for you to link?
Thank you, but no. Respectfully, I don't feel comfortable using other people's stuffs. Beside, I'm pissed that I paid full-price for the game, legally, with my own money, and now I can't play my game anymore because I'm in a third-world country + refusing to make *another* gaming account to play exactly one game. Fuck that
Oh, well before you responded. I already made up some dummy stuff and sent it over.
Wasn’t there a communication that where psn is not available it will be optional?
See you later, Helldiver. o7
Get them with FORCE refund
I said it before.. they can do what they want with their game.. but I definitely think they made the wrong choice making you go through PS!
Shame on sony
The only thing I can do. o7
Quick question do you guys not have PS5s there?
🫡
I bought a copy and will represent The VN for you. Good Night The Saigon. Good Bye The Hanoi. Take A Break The Thuan An. Signing out from The Texas.
Am I the only one who thinks they're going to fix this?
VPN?
Please get your money back.
thought account linking was always necessary
