Comment on Sony PlayStation finally gets rid of PC game region locks after an entire year — but some still remain

Out of the 133 countries where Helldivers 2 was previously locked out of, now there are only 7:

1. Belarus 2. Cuba 3. Iran 4. North Korea 5. Russian Federation 6. Syria 7. Viet Nam

Update: now there are 8… Japan was added to the list: steamdb.info/sub/137730/info/

However it looks like Japan has its own individual game package so players aren’t actually locked out over there.

The others I can think of logic for, but why Vietnam?

  Steam is banned in Vietnam because it couldn’t/wouldn’t comply with their restrictive content laws.
