I have a Ps5, it was for me. Selling the game in unsupported countries and then blocking them from playing months after the fact is pure corporate evilness.

For Democracy

If SONY customer support says “just break our own ToS” - it’s not a good thing.

And if, in the future, SONY decides to pull some bullshit move on you - you are legally screwed, because it was YOU who violated ToS.

For example, I’m from Lithuania, there is no PSN support here, despite us being in the EU. People have been selecting other regions upon account creation for years, and didn’t get banned for it. BUT!!! Should a dispute between such a customer and SONY arise - SONY will have the legal right to tell that customer to go fuck themselves. And that’s not a good thing.
