Ukrainian Helldivers are forced to buy a PlayStation to make a PSN

[AlastairKD]

Yeah, that's a thing now. According to Sony's own network support, anyone living in Ukraine can only make a PSN account through a PlayStation console itself. You're forced to spend upwards of $500 on a console you don't even want just to get access to a PC title you already paid for.

Continue leaving negative reviews, continue the campaign against Sony, continue to make their defenders cope and seethe in the discussion posts. This kind of business practice is and should always be completely unacceptable. If possible, also report Sony to the Better Business Bureau.

Edit: Since some of you are having doubts about my own words, here's the words right from Sony's own support line now in translated screencap form thanks to FurGotten on Twitter and the official Helldivers subreddit.

Edit 2: Sony has chosen to walk back the requirement to link a PSN account, we have won.

Wouldn't that technically count as extortion?

[BoogieWoogie]

Yea, I saw that when Asmon cover it on youtube. This is bad practices. Not to mention I believe UK and somewhere else you need a driver's license or other facial ID to even make an account for PSN.

[Shehow (300β)]

sounds lame as fuuu

Forcing your players to make a PSN account months after launch is extremely undemocratic.
Forcing people out of the game,because they can't make a PSN account in the country they live in, or telling them they'll have to buy a PS5 to register a account....is pure fascism.
Sony having a shareholders meeting on the 22nd of june 2024....is greedy capitalism.
Coincidence?.....i think not.

You dont need empathy for asking or answering.

I care about the fact that Sony is actively scamming Ukrainian Steam users by forcing them to buy a console they never wanted in the first place, just to make a PSN account for ONE GAME that they already bought.

That is literally everyone's issue here. Nothing to do with ukraine.

I'm not Ukrainian, I'm American. I also have no intention of buying a PlayStation EVER, especially not when people like you act like sociopathic pricks over them.

I haven't had a PlayStation since 2008 but linking my account from back then took maybe two minutes. Cry harder.

You're the one crying on MY thread about not buying a PlayStation. Project harder.
