That...is the point? If you are from one of the countries that are n/a for PSN you will get banned, which means players who played the game from like 20 or more countries, now are unable to because they may get banned. Correction, they WILL get banned. Cmon, people, read the news, read the steam threads. This isnt about just making a PSN account. It's about people from a lot countries that have played and bought the game, no longer being able to.

You'll get permabanned by Sony for using an account from a different region than yours. They could prolly use VPN but this is an online game, they can easily fuck you. There is no genuine solution and people got screwed. This aint the same as the Activision one.

Shuhei Yoshida has three accounts, Japan, US and UK.

Don't like the way Sony runs the PlayStation Store? "You should be careful what you wish for" says Yoshida

Do you have multiple PlayStation Network IDs so you can access the PlayStation Store in different countries?Lots of Pla…

Companies are really going out of their way to piss off their customers today.

They have other priorities now.

In these cases, there may have been exceptions but using a VPN is against Sony's TOS afaik.

You don't need a VPN. I own a Hong Kong, Chinese, Japanese, and UK account on PSN that I've used to download stuff from different regions. I haven't run into any issues and I don't use a VPN with those accounts and I've owned these accounts since like 2009.

Getting upset over having to register a free account is fucking stupid.

Let me tell you about Ubisoft...(Too™).

I got around this complicated problem by not buying COD.

It's the only solution for me.

IF this is the worst gaming has to offer then we can all sleep easy. Seriously who gives a shit?

 

[Sinfulgore]

No one complained because having an Activision account is a good thing. It makes all your call of duty Multiplayer progress tied to a non-platform-specific account so you can access your guns/loadouts/operators no matter what platform you want to play on. I'm not familiar with what Hell Divers 2 offers but being able to have my friends come over and they can play Call of Duty under my PSN or Xbox account yet still have access to all their content is great.

 

[Rockman33]

You get cross progression though, isn’t that the point? Where helldivers 2 doesn’t do that.

Maybe pc players believe the Master race meme too much.

I'm not in the master race team, but I've zero problems with PSN account on PC. It's good that they're merging PC and PS accounts that way, the next step is Save files campatiblity and download via cloud so that we could continue playing games on PC with all of the progress imported from the PS5.

Sure, remove it. I don’t think I’d play it even if they did though.

On my end this has to be faults.
Unless this has changed since then, I created my PSN account in 2011.

Caribbean wasn't supported, so I created a USA account without a VPN. Since then I had PS Plus and brought a couple of games and I did all that without using a VPN.

Only problem I had was the State I registered in applied taxes. After awhile I figured out that not all State applied tax, so I just changed it.

All these years and still not banned.

 

[Ridaxan]

I may be incorrectly remembering here, but I recall being forced to link my Ubisoft account when I fired up AC Valhalla the first time on the PS5. It didn't give me the option to continue without it. I'll have to go check.

Just sign up once and be done with it.

I would say the opposite - because PC players whine the ecosystem is not nearly as corporate as on the consoles.
Sign up once and be done with it? What’s next?

Why?

 

[DrDamn]

Also the account creation was from the start, not added as an afterthought like HD2

The requirement for a PSN account was always listed on Steam for HD2. It's only just being enforced, but it's not an afterthought.

Aye. That's pretty much my stance too

People do complain - sqenix and capcom are ones that immediately come to mind.
