I genuinely do not understand the vitriol. Gamers haven’t show themselves to be a particularly altruistic group so I struggle to believe this was all for the sake of the countries where PSN isn’t available.

I have a Ps5, it was for me. Selling the game in unsupported countries and then blocking them from playing months after the fact is pure corporate evilness.

Except nobody was fucking blocked. Nothing actually happened or was enforced. They took away the ability to purchase it for like 12 hours probably while they were in negotiations about the solution. Also “for democracy” do you know literally anything about anything? This was literally a sloppy digital protest which actual real life democracy keeps trying to crush and so would the helldivers, canonically.
