Sony removed Helldivers 2 from sale in countries where PSN is not available. For example whole CIS region.

Here are a few discord comments about the situation from the Helldivers 2 discord:
I'm with Arrowhead as well, none of this shit is coming from them, it's coming from Sony. The most you can criticize them for is partnering with Sony in the first place.
I think it's pretty shitty from Arrowhead as well, because they knew six months in advance that PSN requirement was going to happen and said nothing. That should've been stated front and center when people bought the game.
Also fair.
Considering this and No Man’s Sky having to spend YEARS clawing back good will, I think the lesson here is “don’t make deals with AAA publishers”.
