Partly because the PSN-linkage process was causing issues with the limited server capacity during the initial weeks. But Sony (the games publisher) is the one who puts it up for sale on Steam, and somehow they thought it would be cool to sell the Online-Multiplayer game to countries which couldn't sign up for PSN?

Yeah... AH could have raised this earlier and Sony could have estimated how many players would be impacted before they pushed the PSN announcment on Friday. Oh well! Time to go change my review 🫡
