The Helldivers 2 community was tricked by Sony.

While this is a victory for the players you've left a lasting stain on your brand as a publisher. Many people have very little reason to trust Sony going forward.

For all of those saying to "Just make a PSN account bro." If you've been playing Helldivers 2 and do not live in one of these listed countries you cannot make a PSN account. Choosing a country you do not live in is a violation of Sony's TOS and could lead to account termination.

This take is entirely correct. As a developer I've seen this many times throughout my career. Limiting in-game functionality or access to items/features specifically to sell them back to the player.
If you've grown up in this environment you likely don't understand how bad it's

No. For many, that's now how this works.
The problem is simple: When you want to sell something, there has to be a need for it. It's easy for us to surmise that everything in a MTX list (take, Dragon's Dogma 2 for instance) is
