If a game is much cheaper in one country than another, there&#8217;s more of a chance of key resellers taking advantage of the price difference and selling cheaper keys on the grey market.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the reasons behind it, it&#8217;s still an annoying practice, and one that the developers are going to try to fight against. &#8220;We are closely discussing the region lock issue with the publisher, and we are doing our BEST to resolve most of it as soon as possible,&#8221; Shift Up says in a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/StellarBlade\/status\/1923430874391118044\" target=\"_blank\">social media post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It seemingly took a lot of haggling for just the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/sony-backs-down-on-demand-that-helldivers-2-players-log-into-a-psn-account\/\" target=\"_blank\">PSN requirement to be removed from Helldivers 2<\/a>, so there&#8217;s no telling whether the Stellar Blade devs will be able to pull this off, but it&#8217;s definitely worth a try.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/we-are-doing-our-best-to-resolve-most-of-it-stellar-blades-pc-release-will-be-restricted-in-130-countries-as-the-devs-fight-to-have-it-lifted\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of Stellar Blade&#8217;s PC release in June, players have been greeted with the dreaded yet expected message: Some people won&#8217;t have access to the PC release as it&#8217;s region-locked in 130 countries.
