Sony lifts PC sale restrictions on Helldivers 2, Spider-Man 2 and more

Sony received a lot of praise for its efforts on PC initially, but complaints quickly came in when Sony began delisting games from sale in hundreds of countries. Sony has dropped its controversial PSN account requirements for its PC games after much backlash and now, a few games that had been delisted in various countries are now available for sale once again. 

As spotted by Wario64, Sony appears to have reversed its decision to only sell PC games in countries where PSN is supported. Titles like God of War Ragnarök, Spider-Man 2, The Last of Us Part 2 and Helldivers 2 are now available worldwide once again.

Sony has not said anything about this publicly yet, and certain major titles like Ghost of Tsushima are still unsupported but that could change in a matter of weeks, assuming this hasn't all been a mistake.

The issue here first appeared shortly after Helldivers 2 released on Steam. At first, the game was available everywhere, but it was later removed from sale in over 170 countries, as Sony was looking to push the PC player base over to PSN accounts. The decision to enforce PSN accounts was later reversed, but it has taken a lot longer for the sales restrictions to be lifted.
