Are we not into Helldivers 2 any longer?
Sometimes we have to make sacrifices to uphold our principles.
Not getting abused by Sony and it's ilk Is just one of the many principles that we can uphold at minimal risk and for minimal cost.
Oh, found it. Sony decided post-hoc that:
a) You'll need a PSN account to play Helldivers through Steam, even though why would you need a PSN account?
b) If you're in a region where you can't create a PSN account, you just can't purchase Helldivers anymore, or play it if you've already purchased it.

Cool yeah pretty scummy. I thought this meme format was usually used to make fun of people for petty power tripping, but in this case, it seems pretty clear that it's an appropriate form of protest.
Would some sort of class action lawsuit be a feasible response?
That sounds great, I'm just out of the loop. I will consult DuckDuckGo and come back.
Nah, it's simply that the game is overrated so the devs had to do something stupid to bring everyone back down to earth.
I mean it takes less than 20 hours of playtime before you've already seen everything the game has to offer. It's a very repetitive and predictable game. For me to consider a multiplayer game worth my money, it needs to provide at least 250 hours of enjoyment minimum.
