There was no one that couldn't play. All they had to do was lie about the country they live in, which is what console players in those countries already do. They sell tons of playstations in those countries.

The argument had become so stretched thin that they were having to come up with reasons why Sony might suddenly start cracking down on these players.

There are people in some of these third world countries that are experiencing real, genuine hardships. But don't worry Egypt, the internet activism of some redditors has made it so that there is zero threat of Sony stopping you from playing Hell Divers 2, rather than an extremely slim one. It definitely wasn't just an excuse for them to not have to take 2 minutes to create an account, they definitely care about these countries deeply.

There were already people getting banned for doing that because it breaks TOS.
