PSN Region lock. Give me a solution.

[Mr. K]

Since PSN linking will be a mandatory thing, how can I play Helldivers 2 if PSN is region locked in my country.?

Please give me a concrete solution as this will help other players from many countries that banned PSN.

You can only lie about your region which breaks Sony's TOS for using PSN. You have no recourse. I'm not being negative or just trying to get you down, that's genuinely just the way it is.

Review negative,

spread the news, try to get more people and content creators involved. Preferably creators FROM those regions pls. Bonus points if they play helldivers 2 a lot.

Create burner email set in a country that does have PSN (fake name if you want too)
Make a PSN account
Link accounts

Profit

You know Sony has full rights to ban you if you're lying about your country, right?

Doing this is against Sony's TOS, meaning you would be unable to get any support should any problem befall your account (like being involved in one of Sony's biyearly data leaks), and could theoretically be banned at any time.

Use of VPNs is also banned or punisheble by prison in some countries where they sold HD2. Also they cost money and then just don't work

if you still have acces to psn to create account, just put some random country and the cities closed to you, it didnt need perfect address or cc, most people create account like that

if you are people that cant access psn at all, use vpn to create an account, but some people report that they got their account banned ~5min after because breaking tos using vpn to create an account, so just wait 5-10min or a day after creating an account before linking it to HD2

Steam needs to region lock too. What's with all these bot accounts that don't own the game doing here?

Yeah but if the choice is "lie and get to play a little more until ban might happen" or "dont get to play AT ALL"
I think the first one is better choice for many IF you plan to play after linking is mandatory.

1. Don't buy games that state a PSN will be required to play it.
2. Don't buy games that state a PSN will be required to play it.
3. Refund it before you cannot. <3
4. Stomach your loss, you got your monies worth already.

Which country you from? I posted on another concerned player's thread regarding the aforementioned issue. I will copy what I wrote there and paste here if any of it helps.

EDIT:

In the event you do not see your country of primary residence in the list of selectable countries, this means that PSN is unfortunately not officially available in your country. If you wish to proceed with the creation of a PSN account, you would need to select a different country - perhaps one in close proximity or close affiliation to yours. However, keep in mind that there may be some unresolvable issues as creating PSN accounts registered outside of your country of residence is not officially supported.
