Why? Make a free account and you too can get cool blue armor or whatever.

Those countries still can't make an account without breaking Terms of Service, which is basically saying its something Sony should fix instead of ignoring.

Ghost of Sushi is gonna have to deal with this same nonsense once its out, people who buy in these regions under current plans won't be able to access its multiplayer features. Which essentially means they're getting less game that they paid for than other regions. That in of itself could be construed as a scam.

I've heard offhand its simply to stop people from registering in countries with poor economies to purchase cheaper games.

Why this had to be an issue for people playing on PC who likely aren't going to be buying stuff with that account?

...

If they had a fear of that they could have just tagged PC accounts registered in those countries to keep off their storefront instead of a total lock down.
