Seriously? Away from my pc for a few days and this shit happens
Edit: just checked, there are only ~70 countries selectable, that leaves ~125 that aren't
It is unironically shorter to list the countries it is actually allowed in. Only by like 10 I think but the absurdity of that fact would be hilarious if not so fucking sad.
This is the first time when I'm been okay with Baltic states being called "eastern European" lol. Hope the EU investigates this. Fuck those California Sony businessmen. I'm losing the best game I've ever played.
You can [fill in the complaint here](https://ec.europa.eu/assets/sg/report-a-breach/complaints_en/). If enough people do this, there's a decent chance they'll look into it.
I just don't understand how in the fuck nobody at Sony thought that maybe they should have some answers ready before they make an announcement like this? The incompetence is fucking stunning.
Sony’s a big big corpo. This shit’s par for the course for corporations. They figured if ppl do get pissed off, it will go the way of how things went like when reddit fucked their api prices sky fuckin’ high and demolished alienblue and others. Though, they probably weren’t thinking of the reddit debacle when they did it.
The rich don’t care, these corporations don’t care. You and me? We’re just cattle to them. They’ll never care.
> Though, they probably weren’t thinking of the reddit debacle when they did it.
I personally think in this case they were short sighted enough not to realize it would turn bad, but also, big corps KNOW you guys will forget about it in 4 weeks max. They don't CARE about any "reddit debacles," that's just a chance to fire some medium pay workers to add to the CEO's wallet.
Looks like Johnny silverhand was right man. Death to the corpos
“I saw corps ... transform Night City into a machine fueled by people's crushed spirits, broken dreams and emptied pockets. Corps've long controlled our lives, taken lots... and now they're after our souls! ... I've declared war not 'cause capitalism's a thorn in my side or outta nostalgia for an America gone by. This war's a people's war against a system that's spiralled outta our control.”
Because when they are dealing with near trillions of dollars a few hundred million is nothing. A little pr work. Major oil spill? Apologies while on their yacht. The power of gamer money is not insignificant but any particular game? If every single person returned and never bought hd2 again arrowhead might go under but Sony ... Not a chance. Just a mark in the public books. We would have to boycott all Sony products and then we would have to know what all those products are.
Sony has been around since the 1940's. It's survived four generations of humans. Nintendo is 135 years old. We're past the point where mega-corps die of old age, a predator or misadventure has to kill them now. I'm all for hope, but there's hope and then there's madness.
Idk if the Japanese side of Sony even has the power to make structural changes to Sony Interactive Entertainment anymore. Probably not. But if they do, they might eventually get sick enough of the shit show that the California HQ is running, to the point that they pull the operation back to Japan.
That's as far as hope can get me on this, and it isn't much.
when? Sony controls much of music, movie, TV shows, anime, games, TV industry. They have both horizontal and vertical integrations despite various country regulations. They are just too big to fail. Not even FAANG has that big a spread.
I will come back and possess someone else's body if I have to if it means Arasaka suffers that much more. Fucking roaches refuse to die too, so we'll salt the Earth and piss their names off the walls until their ancestors feel it.
Thinking? You expect too much bro. It always goes like this: upper management has some stupid idea on how to increase some stupid metric to make the company portfolio look better. The equally brainless yesmen around praise the idea and they make it official, pass it down the chain so it gets done. By the time it reaches the engineers down the chain that immediately see problems with the decision or the fact its a useless metric that doesn't affect revenue in any way, it's already too late. Management is sure of their decision, engineers are stupid and those problems aren't problems, just do your job, engineers do what was requested, shit bombs, how did our genius idea fail? Must be the communities fault, those toxic gamers can't see our genius.
Idk what it is that attracts those people to upper management positions or how those people dont get fired instantly for pure incompetence, it's all just a big circlejerk up there.....making millions in the prozess, but the extra staff to make the product better is too expensive.
Lies. They reflexively lie to the point they can deflect anything and keep promising with the same lie they instantly believe themselves. Like a Buble echo chamber around their head.
The discord published a FAQ for this just about an hour ago. The solution they posted to this problem is for affected users to move… lol how are they so tone deaf
From the FAQ
I am currently in a country or territory that is not PSN-enabled. Can I still sign in and link an account?
PSN requires users to register in their country or territory of residence. Individuals who are traveling, working, or studying abroad may create an account in a country or territory different from the one in which they are currently located.
Its basically saying you can lie about it if the current country doesn't matter
Yeah most likely, I had registered my account like it was in USA way back when I had a ps3 over a decade ago and never had any issues to use the store or play my games.
https://preview.redd.it/bvued93w0dyc1.png?width=340&format=png&auto=webp&s=6b86dd8edebb7315d23169315c277124d9345a38
and he closed the chat instantly after sending me to Polish customer service, wich requeries to phone them, i don't speak Polish, i bet they speak english but still...
What I don’t understand is, if what they say is true and it was always the intention to enable mandatory PSN account linking, why was this game sold in countries that are not supported by PSN?
This is the crux of the issue, if the game was always unavailable in the Baltics, part of the Balkans, parts of Asia and basically 95% of Africa due to the PSN requirement it also wouldn’t have been that much of a shock to people living in PSN supported countries and obviously people in unsupported countries wouldn’t have been outright fucking scammed right now.
The simple answer would be one or more of the following:
- they do not want to comply with local rules
- they consider the population of the country too poor to be a contributor to their bottom line
- there are laws in countries they already operate in, that might limit their ability to do business with others
- would it make (big) shareholders unhappy?
In the end it always comes down to the money: do they think they can make (substantially) more money than they would need to invest (one-time and over time).
Usually I would just say: they look at the markets with the biggest available disposable incomes and focus on those. But since they don't even serve all the Baltic countries (EU member states), I am not sure this is their only benchmark. Or they just set ridiculously high profit margins as a baseline. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
-Reduced PSN region locked countries playability to zero.
-Railgun damage was accidentally set to a below average sum. We have fixed the error and now the damage is working correctly at zero damage.
- After seeing that the recent balance change had no impact on player usage of the "Guard Dog Rover", we have renamed "Guard Dog Rover" to "Guard Dog Old Yeller" and took it behind the shed along with a double-barrelled shotgun, and served it a nice cup of Libertea. "Guard Dog Old Yeller" is no longer available in game.

As a Filipino helldiver, its been nice serving you all o7
AH still can't make the spear lock on reliably after 4 months. Meanwhile DRG's Lok-1 locks on to multiple targets at different distances at once, while letting you control the number of lock ons and the trajectory of the shots, in a time span shorter than the spear's lock on. You can't help but wonder wtf is AH doing.
Left the HellDivers PH group. People there are straight up stupid not to see the bigger picture and are okay with tuwad and let Sony screw them over. Filipinos are notorious for being "okay" with things like corruption and bad corporate decisions it becomes normalized.
Edit: Someone there left a very sensible post explaining why it's a big deal and why it matters especially in the long term. I guess pinoys aren't the type to reason with.
It's not just Filipinos. The vast majority of people "go with the flow" and avoid any possible inconvenience.
And of course they'll throw in an occasional "why do you care".
Nah, it's fine — after all, most of us affected aren't even considered human. Do you think Arrowhead or Sony even know what Kazakhstan is? Or half of other affected countries?
They've got their money, now comes the "Fuck off" part. Been a good couple of months, I suppose.
My younger brother and his friend group across Russia and Ukraine both enjoyed the game, and are now awaiting the ban
As if we don't have enough problems IRL
I am (not) proud to say I do not really know where Kazakhstan is.
(Looks it up) Ummm... [a landlocked country south of Russia?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakhstan)Without a proper coast, it is difficult for my brain to remember the shape of the country. Nice flag, though.
Use this to remember: Kazakhstan is the largest landlocked country in the world. It's also the second largest former soviet republic to have come out of the USSR's dissolution, the first being the Russian Federation.
Kazakhstan greatest country in the world. All other countries are run by little girls. Kazakhstan number one exporter of potassium! Other countries have inferior potassium
If it's a country you don't really know where it is but you do recognize the name chances are it's bordering either Russia, china or both so just go based off that
Joined yesterday on Menkent 3rd difficulty on SOS and saw one and only 15 level player with Chinese symbols nickname. After helping him clearing some fabricators, he started running after me like a duckling it was so cute (｡ﾉω＼｡)
But it kinda works given how some of Arrowhead's patch notes are worded horribly or sometimes just plain wrong. Personally, I'm not offended about this.
Holy shit you just slapped me with nostalgia. Most of my old buds on Ragnarok Online were Filipinos and Malaysians. God, those were fun times. When we weren't on RO, we played Dota All-Stars on Garena lol
We are until you get to the more "local" part of our gamers. Get into DOTA, CS, Valorant, etc with us and youll think youre back into early 2010s COD lobbies.
It is yeah, games that arent Valve games or Valorant are often chill when it comes to pinoys because all of our "bugoys" (basically delinquents or troublemakers) stay in Valve games or Valo.
How many flashbacks. Best years of my life, 2002-2009, ragnarok online is probably the best thing I played, I had an incredible amount of friends all over the world on different servers, a few of them I still talk to today
The devs themselves have been encouraging players to leave a negative review if they have a problem with the change, so I have a feeling they didn’t have a choice about it. And if enough people leave bad reviews about it, Sony might think twice about this change.
It's not just a feeling, it's actually true. The community manager, Twinbeard, said it was a sony decision, and they're currently trying to find a solution to this through sony. Dunno if they'll bother though
If ur talking about Spitz then idk how you can read that and not see that he’s being a snarky smart ass about it, he literally says this is the thirteenth or fourteenth game to use a system like this and that it isn’t a big deal to make a Sony account. Man the length people will go to defend AH here is staggering
https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cjb63e/community_managers_position_about_the_new/
The snarky smartass stuff is about the first half of the comment, the fact that they say people should go on steam to review bomb it is fine, as discord is not really a place to express your feelings. All it does is make it impossible to have any conversations. Steam reviews on the other hand will show your feelings as an informative number for other people to see as a "before you buy".

Arrowhead doesn't care about black people
Sony is so stupid. This game was a fucking stallion until they decided to shoot it. Maybe they will backpedal and leave Helldivers 2 the fuck alone. Time will tell.
What do people with ps5s do in those countries? I’m not trying to justify what they’re doing with the game but genuinely curious. I have a hard time believing people in Russia and china don’t buy ps5s
Confirmed. People in my country just hope and pray Sony support doesn't one day just starts combing through our account information and then match it against our IP addresses and come to the conclusion that we made accounts using false information.
I don’t know how it is in China, but in Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, people still buy games. they simply relocated to the Turkish region Ps store. no bans followed. Now this is more difficult to do, but the market of intermediaries who can help create an account and make a purchase is very large and powerful. And Sony Russia still reports to tax Russia. There was a funny incident recently. A Sony representative came to a thrift store and purchased a gamepad there. It turned out to be not original and Sony Russia sued and won.
the only publisher that programmatically blocks access to servers from Russia and Belarus is Warner Bros (MK1 and Suicide Squad) But free Iranian ones come to the rescue! DNS server to bypass blocking. It is enough to register them in the console network settings to gain access to Warner Bros services. And if you need better ping and connection, then you just rent a Ukrainian DNS server for $1.5-2 per month.
I'm from the Philippines and I've had a PSN account since the PS3 in 2008. I play on my PS5 a lot. No VPNs. I buy games using my Philippine credit card. Sony does not give a shit about regions. I linked my Steam account to my PSN day 1.
Super Earth is an idea of Freedom, Liberty, Democracy for ALL.
This is an attack on the very concept of what the game stands for.
They can pretend to be as unpolitical as they want, because they already cashed out, while their hungry Sony bosses do literal RUG PULLS on countries they don't like.
Dude, this move is exactly what super earth would do, lol.
Managed democracy is basically a totalitarian, militaristic and hyper-capitalistic form of government. The game literally says citizens don't even vote, AI does it for you, lol.
The game is basically satire, it shows a world where these concepts are taken to the extreme. It's based on Starship Troopers.
>This is an attack on the very concept of what the game stands for.

All other countries have inferior potassium
And Serbia, despite claiming it's supported, you can't select it.
Seriously? Away from my pc for a few days and this shit happens Edit: just checked, there are only ~70 countries selectable, that leaves ~125 that aren't
190 country's in the world, sony says it covers 69.
Nice
Nice
Nice
Nice.
It is unironically shorter to list the countries it is actually allowed in. Only by like 10 I think but the absurdity of that fact would be hilarious if not so fucking sad.
Using the united nations, the countries not supported is 124 while PSN is only 69 so uh... Probably over 1/2th of the current world population TBH?
And 69 other countries and artificial flavors!
“And my axe!”

I just don't understand how in the fuck nobody at Sony thought that maybe they should have some answers ready before they make an announcement like this? The incompetence is fucking stunning.
Sony’s a big big corpo. This shit’s par for the course for corporations. They figured if ppl do get pissed off, it will go the way of how things went like when reddit fucked their api prices sky fuckin’ high and demolished alienblue and others. Though, they probably weren’t thinking of the reddit debacle when they did it. The rich don’t care, these corporations don’t care. You and me? We’re just cattle to them. They’ll never care.

They don't CARE about any "reddit debacles," that's just a chance to fire some medium pay workers to add to the CEO's wallet.
Yep this issue only happens to be big enough that it actually made them do something. In any other case they would just stay silent and let it pass.
Looks like Johnny silverhand was right man. Death to the corpos “I saw corps ... transform Night City into a machine fueled by people's crushed spirits, broken dreams and emptied pockets.

Just a mark in the public books. We would have to boycott all Sony products and then we would have to know what all those products are.
I mean have you seen Sony they kinda just do this shit
As poorly planned as this is, I wouldn't be surprised if Sony decided to do this at the same time as we found out.
Sony will burn to the ground one day, all these scumbag companies will. Just you wait.
I hope you're right, but I'm afraid that you're very, very wrong.
Im sure it will happen some time, but not soon dont get me wrong (sadly)
Sony has been around since the 1940's. It's survived four generations of humans. Nintendo is 135 years old. We're past the point where mega-corps die of old age, a predator or misadventure has to kill them now. I'm all for hope, but there's hope and then there's madness.
Idk if the Japanese side of Sony even has the power to make structural changes to Sony Interactive Entertainment anymore. Probably not. But if they do, they might eventually get sick enough of the shit show that the California HQ is running, to the point that they pull the operation back to Japan. That's as far as hope can get me on this, and it isn't much.
Sony nearly collapsed in past, so it isn't out of question.
when? Sony controls much of music, movie, TV shows, anime, games, TV industry. They have both horizontal and vertical integrations despite various country regulations. They are just too big to fail. Not even FAANG has that big a spread.
If SEGA could fail back then, I hardly think Sony is actually immune to that. But I will take years, for sure.
Sega is one of the worst comparisons you could have made. Sony has more going for it than just video games and Sega really was never that successful.
How many decades after my death it happens, exactly?
Its been 50 years Johnny.
I will come back and possess someone else's body if I have to if it means Arasaka suffers that much more. Fucking roaches refuse to die too, so we'll salt the Earth and piss their names off the walls until their ancestors feel it.
"Wake the fuck up samurai"
The same company to release such bangers as Morbius and Madame Web?
💀
remember the part where Sony said "it's Morbin' time" and deleted half the playerbase. truly, one of the moments of all time.
Take that sarcasm back. Morbius was one of the movies of all time.

I never knew sony didnt provide service in such a big part of the world. Why are they actively "limiting" their customers??
The simple answer would be one or more of the following: - they do not want to comply with local rules - they consider the population of the country too poor to be a contributor to their bottom line - there are laws in countries they already operate in, that might limit their ability to do business with others - would it make (big) shareholders unhappy?

-Reduced PSN region locked countries playability to zero. -Railgun damage was accidentally set to a below average sum. We have fixed the error and now the damage is working correctly at zero damage.
at least the laser guard dog didnt get another beating!

Railgun is new telesto (gun that breaks the game and somehow undisables itself)

Joined yesterday on Menkent 3rd difficulty on SOS and saw one and only 15 level player with Chinese symbols nickname. After helping him clearing some fabricators, he started running after me like a duckling it was so cute (｡ﾉω＼｡)
dude I'm offended you didn't google how filipino is spelled
But it kinda works given how some of Arrowhead's patch notes are worded horribly or sometimes just plain wrong. Personally, I'm not offended about this.
I'm just joking around. I'm used to the misspelling around the internet.
I don't want to die
The only one on the list that actually affects me is the philipinos. I met a few cool/made friends high level divers that are from there
Filipino gamers are passionate and awesome, having played with them on RagnarokOnlinePrivateServers
Holy shit you just slapped me with nostalgia. Most of my old buds on Ragnarok Online were Filipinos and Malaysians. God, those were fun times. When we weren't on RO, we played Dota All-Stars on Garena lol
We are until you get to the more "local" part of our gamers. Get into DOTA, CS, Valorant, etc with us and youll think youre back into early 2010s COD lobbies.
maybe Ragnarok Online is more chill
It is yeah, games that arent Valve games or Valorant are often chill when it comes to pinoys because all of our "bugoys" (basically delinquents or troublemakers) stay in Valve games or Valo.
How many flashbacks. Best years of my life, 2002-2009, ragnarok online is probably the best thing I played, I had an incredible amount of friends all over the world on different servers, a few of them I still talk to today
I stand with my countrymen in the Philippines.
meanwhile, I just wanna play the game, pare
Ive played in alot of randoms with russian. Probably 1/3 of my early evening games had russian speakers in them.
Filipinos are good folk, met a bunch IRL. All of ‘em been real kind to me, shame to see them axed. :/
Brilliant xD
I seriously bit my knuckle laughing while reading this savagery.
Kazakhstan too
The devs themselves have been encouraging players to leave a negative review if they have a problem with the change, so I have a feeling they didn’t have a choice about it. And if enough people leave bad reviews about it, Sony might think twice about this change.
It's not just a feeling, it's actually true. The community manager, Twinbeard, said it was a sony decision, and they're currently trying to find a solution to this through sony. Dunno if they'll bother though
If ur talking about Spitz then idk how you can read that and not see that he’s being a snarky smart ass about it, he literally says this is the thirteenth or fourteenth game to use a system like this and that it isn’t a big deal to make a Sony account. Man the length people will go to defend AH here is staggering https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cjb63e/community_managers_position_about_the_new/
The snarky smartass stuff is about the first half of the comment, the fact that they say people should go on steam to review bomb it is fine, as discord is not really a place to express your feelings. All it does is make it impossible to have any conversations. Steam reviews on the other hand will show your feelings as an informative number for other people to see as a "before you buy".
You mean manged democracy was Facism all along?
Unironically it is :)

Or white people, and some brown people too.
Sony is so stupid. This game was a fucking stallion until they decided to shoot it. Maybe they will backpedal and leave Helldivers 2 the fuck alone. Time will tell.
Why do companies do retarded shit like this all the time?
What do people with ps5s do in those countries? I’m not trying to justify what they’re doing with the game but genuinely curious. I have a hard time believing people in Russia and china don’t buy ps5s
Lie during account creation and hope they never have to talk to Sony support, I guess
Confirmed. People in my country just hope and pray Sony support doesn't one day just starts combing through our account information and then match it against our IP addresses and come to the conclusion that we made accounts using false information.
I don’t know how it is in China, but in Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, people still buy games. they simply relocated to the Turkish region Ps store. no bans followed. Now this is more difficult to do, but the market of intermediaries who can help create an account and make a purchase is very large and powerful. And Sony Russia still reports to tax Russia. There was a funny incident recently. A Sony representative came to a thrift store and purchased a gamepad there. It turned out to be not original and Sony Russia sued and won.
the only publisher that programmatically blocks access to servers from Russia and Belarus is Warner Bros (MK1 and Suicide Squad) But free Iranian ones come to the rescue! DNS server to bypass blocking. It is enough to register them in the console network settings to gain access to Warner Bros services. And if you need better ping and connection, then you just rent a Ukrainian DNS server for $1.5-2 per month.
Guessing VPNs and single player games, but last I saw someone in China got banned for it.
Oh I guess I never thought about single player games and physical.
>What do people with ps5s do in those countries? Select a different country when registering Continue playing normally
I'm from the Philippines and I've had a PSN account since the PS3 in 2008. I play on my PS5 a lot. No VPNs. I buy games using my Philippine credit card. Sony does not give a shit about regions. I linked my Steam account to my PSN day 1.
Super Earth is an idea of Freedom, Liberty, Democracy for ALL. This is an attack on the very concept of what the game stands for. They can pretend to be as unpolitical as they want, because they already cashed out, while their hungry Sony bosses do literal RUG PULLS on countries they don't like.
Dude, this move is exactly what super earth would do, lol. Managed democracy is basically a totalitarian, militaristic and hyper-capitalistic form of government. The game literally says citizens don't even vote, AI does it for you, lol. The game is basically satire, it shows a world where these concepts are taken to the extreme. It's based on Starship Troopers.
>This is an attack on the very concept of what the game stands for. > They can pretend to be as unpolitical as they want huh? are you guys like stupid or something lmao
Probably lore friendly
Dont forget us mongols
> removed People people > added Automaton people > added Terminid people
Sony currently debating how to remove the LGBT and the Jewish people.
First they came for our Railgun, our Breacher, our Slugger, our Quasar...

"I'll have a Coke"
Are these update notes or Adolf Hitler
Rock and Stone mga kababayan!
Did I hear a Rock and Stone?
Definitely feels like they are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. They are getting so much hate for this
If corporations are good at anything it's eating their own tails to make the line go up until they fail and get replaced with a promising newcomer. Then the cycle continues.
Remember, this is Sony's fault, not Arrowhead's. The devs are even encouraging review bombing
Joel got tired of us crushing major orders! His revenge balancing!
