Part 5/8:
In response to the backlash, Sony made the drastic move to delist Hell Divers 2 in nearly 177 countries, removing the game entirely from Steam across those regions. This decision appears to be a direct attempt to quell discontent, but it has only exacerbated frustrations.
Critics argue that Sony's control over the distribution process allows it to impose policies unilaterally, often without proper communication or regard for the community’s wishes. Rather than engaging in dialogue or offering solutions, Sony’s stance has been seen as a hardline enforcement of their policies, with no room for flexibility.
