What a shitshow it was from Sony. But I’m glad the games are back, especially The Last of Us 2. The second season of the show was underwhelming, but the game sits an 90% of positive reviews.
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.

I noticed this earlier when Helldivers 2 appeared on my Steam page out of nowhere. It really is about time.
