For now though, let&apos;s turn our gaze towards the community.<\/p>\n<p>First up, people are\u2014understandably\u2014worried about region locks. PSN serves around 69 countries at the moment which, as you might have put together, is not all of them. From where I&apos;m sitting this whole debacle is mostly just irritating, and a great example of Sony putting its foot in it, but this is by far the most legitimate worry surrounding the controversy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-card\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Helldivers\/comments\/1cj4q77\/i_guess_this_is_goodbyelevel_90_helldiver\">I guess this is Goodbye&#8230;(Level 90 HELLDIVER)<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Helldivers\">r\/Helldivers<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/embed.redditmedia.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Considering players from these countries will have previously been able to play the game\u2014and could have, reasonably, missed the section on the game&apos;s store page that <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20231207163847\/https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/553850\/HELLDIVERS_2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said it required a PSN account<\/a>\u2014it&apos;s a nightmare customer service issue.

A huge part of the problem, as Arrowhead Games community manager Twinbeard writes, is that the development studio\u2014while knowing about the shift\u2014didn&apos;t craft the statement itself. &#8220;We&apos;re chasing Sony to get more info&#8221; regarding the region-locking issue, Twinbeard writes on Discord, in the middle of a swarmed general chat that&apos;s gone full Lord of the Flies.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1101px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:9.72%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"MezWpCvoG9r9gH5LBKYY3N\" name=\"Screenshot 2024-05-03 163054.png\" alt=\"A message that reads: \"First of all, it's Sonys decision, not ours.
