Despite the reassurances of a Helldivers 2 community manager, who had declared only yesterday that players from the countries without PSN coverage they could continue playing without blockingthe game was suddenly removed from Steam in these territories, as reported by the Steam database. The possibility for those who already own the game in these countries to continue playing it remains uncertain.
In an unusual departure from its standard policies, Valve it started to emit refunds to Helldivers 2 players that they had accumulated over 100 hours of gameplay. Normally, Steam only allows refunds if the game has been played for less than two hours. However, the mandatory connection to the PSN, introduced several months after the game’s launch, seems to have pushed Valve to make an exception to this rule.
The change relating to the PSN it is due to a decision by Sony, not from the Arrowhead Studios development team. This has led many to view refunds as an effective way to protest this policy rather than direct attacks on developers. Sony, which announced this new policy on Friday, has not yet officially responded to the intense reactions that have erupted in a few days.
