Sony stock began to fall after the removal of the publisher's games from Steam for countries without PSN

According to Investing.com, Sony's stock price began to decline rapidly after the publisher's games were removed from Steam for regions without PSN. Let us remind you that on May 5, Helldivers 2 was withdrawn, and last night the same thing happened to the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima.

As the graph shows, stock plummeted on May 6, the day after Helldivers 2 became unavailable on Valve's site in 170 countries. By the way, the game has still not been returned — Arrowhead is still negotiating with Sony.

Let us recall that on May 3, Sony notified PC gamers of the need to link their Steam account to their PlayStation Network account in order to play Helldivers 2. However, the service does not work in all countries. Due to this, the company has removed Helldivers 2 and Ghost of Tsushima from Steam for those regions where PSN is not available. The last game also required account linking due to the presence of multiplayer.

Tonight, the Valve service began forcibly returning funds for pre-ordering the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima to players from countries where the sale of the samurai action game was banned.
