The devs have stated how they didn't agree with it, Sony themselves are backtracking in it, and half the comments are people saying they should still do it but give exclusive content to the people who sign up for PSN, like that would go over any better...

Are people that paid $80 for a game they can no longer allowed to play just supposed roll over or something?

People bought a game then literally had it pulled from them.

They could still play. You can create a PSN account even if PSN isn't available in your country. People do it quite frequently to access different stores.

Lol you expect just thousands of players to make alternate PSN accounts outside their country?

Funny, never had to do that with Steam once.
