3 more countries (Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia) added into the delisted region. [Update]

Edit: Interestingly there are 3 unknown country codes in the list of deisted regions previously, so optimistically it might just be them correcting it and they would start selling world wide again.
Also some people say this might put them in violation of EU laws, but I'm no law expert nor an EU resident.
Edit 2 [update]: screenshot from someone who got denied a refund. Looks like it's confirmed to be Sony's decision.
I have a suspicion that Sony is going to try to reintroduce PSN in a month or two, which is why they won't re-list the game. Either that or they're spiteful as fuck.
Either way, I hope Arrowhead has an exit plan in the event that Sony tries to force their hands again, even if that means everyone walks out and starts a new studio.
They shouldn't have to start over, they're not owned by Sony, Sony just published the Helldivers games for them and likely owns the IP.
They would just have to walk away from the best selling franchise they've ever had, which is difficult. They seem to have scruples, but they're also humans who probably want to live comfortably and feel secure in their futures like the rest of us. If I'm being honest, if it were me, I'd probably take the money because life's hard enough as it is.
Hard to say how it'll all shake out.
well the game was supposed to have psn integration from the start but it was delayed due to some issues and stuff
