I love this game, but I am surprised that Sony has still not reversed its travesty of a decision to keep this game from over 170 countries. Yes you heard me right 177 Countries.

There are only 195 countries in the world recognized by the UN. A bit of quick math here will tell you that only 18 Countries can buy Helldivers 2. That means that 90.77% of the countries on the planet cannot purchase this game.

The major orders are also much more difficult since the player base has been gutted like an obese salmon and with active player numbers steadily dropping, it's hard to tell whether it's because people are burnt out or just tired of getting knocked about by massive corporations who don't give a single ♥♥♥♥ about their consumers.

To top it all off the project lead is stepping down as business director to focus on a more creative role. (Speculation indicates that Sony and them were having tension)

I really do love this game, there is a lot of passion and good ideas packed within this product that no one can buy. Maybe next time they make a game it will be like Helldivers 1 again. Small enough to fly under the radar of greedy executives who just want to promote their inflated PSN numbers to their shareholders.

It makes NO SENSE to have reversed the PSN decision only to have not rolled back all of the de-listed countries. Sony has not only refused to do this, but has DOUBLED DOWN on their decision by removing several other countries after the fiasco first began.

I'll change this review, once again, for the FOURTH TIME, provided Sony pulls their ♥♥♥♥ out of their own mouth long enough to actually reverse their bad decisions.

I still play this game, like the mechanics, and hope for a better future for the community. The blame rests entirely on Sony.
