Helldivers 2 was looking like a pretty good squad Co-op game, I was
somewhat interested, but so many things to play, not enough time.  It
won't affect me if I were to play it, but there's regions where it was
sold that the PSN isn't available.

That's just a bit scummy.

saying this was going to happen wasn't made particularly clear upfront.

I assume you mean retroactively. There's no respect here from Sony.

They saw their game was popular, and decided to try and leverage that
popularity into getting their network a bigger marketshare. It's all
about what is good for Sony; it has nothing to do with benefitting the
customers.

I'd love it if Valve started offering all Helldiver 2 players the
ability to return/refund the game, no matter how long it has been
since they purchased it, since this seems a fairly significant change
to the requirements box.
