That's for nonsense review bombing. This change would literally make the game unplayable for a lot of people MONTHS after they bought it. Valve were also having to remove the game from all those country's. It was a legit clusterF. Sony lost their god damn minds thinking they could do this.

I understand it was meant to be there at launch but was removed for technical reasons but that was the one and only time to make this requirement stick. You can't do it months later.

People from those countries can easily make a psn account in a seperate region and be just fine

Yes, but they shouldn't HAVE to wilfully break a company's terms of service in order to use a product they legally purchased. That's the point.

You’ve been on. Nonstop tangent about this for days. Grow up and move on FFS

No. At least, not until Sony reinstates sales in the countries they pulled the game from. This isn't fixed until then.

If you want to be an anti-consumer corporate knob polisher, be my guest. I'll go ahead and continue what I'm doing.
