The game Helldivers 2 is still effectively banned on Steam in more than 100 countries without access to the PlayStation Network (PSN).
The game became unavailable for purchase or activation in these countries during the recent debacle where Sony forced Arrowhead to once again require players to link their Steam account with a PSN account to continue playing Helldivers 2 on PC.
However now that Sony has course-corrected, fans are still wondering why the game is still blocked in these regions.
The Helldivers 2 community was tricked by Sony.
Sony declared having a PSN account would be mandatory to play Helldivers 2. The community revolted and trashed the games review score to 13% positive. Sony walked it back and stated they wouldn't be making PSN mandatory.… pic.twitter.com/3zjeWZBE7O

Countries that can’t access the game now include Cuba, Belarus, Greenland, and pretty much the entirety of Africa.
Helldivers II is available now for Windows PC (via Steam) and PlayStation 5.
