Helldivers 2 release reaches over 170 countries

Last weekend, more than 170 countries were banned from purchasing Helldivers 2 via Steam. This was another controversy regarding the connectivity policy between PS5 and PC, which prompted a series of statements from Arrowhead in recent days.

Interestingly, this removal from Valve’s platform did not affect all countries, but only a select few regions. As a result, the title became the target of significant review bombing, reaching negative reviews in the PC version.
