THIS IS SO PATHETIC I waited whole year and this is how Sony treats

I don't get it. Why so many countries are region locked anyway?

Aren't there ways to get around the legion lock?

What's wrong with Estonia and Lithuania lol? This list seems so arbitrary.

In STEAM? only 2 legal ways, one of which is illegal but at the same time is legal so STEAM can't do anything about it since is in a grey zone and the other is to wait the game have a regional SKU like GoW Ragnarok, Spiderman 2, and all those games and make sure your country is in one of those packages and buy the key with that regional code. For the latter we need to wait until release date if the game will have regional SKU.

Anyways, for some locked countries you can still preorder in Epic Games Store the game for now. If they block it there are chances you get a refund.

Other naive publishers are trying to get their games to sell, but Sony is doing some IQ200 moves here and going for the opposite.

[ad1.]

this mostly comes from sony cause they are publishing.... sucks for the people living there...:(

Dear Shift Up, Sony, do you hate money?
Please do not make your game unavailable for millions of people to buy and enjoy.

Some people on Twiter said you can buy Stellar Blade normally on the Epic store or use a VPN.

Because most of them are not countries of any notable size. If you take just the top 18 countries (by population) on that list then they make up 75% of the total population covered by ALL of them.

If you actually look at the list, it is largely small countries with a lot of them having a population less than a million or straight up uninhabited. (e.g. "The Vatican", "Antarctica", "Sao Tome and Principe", "United States Minor Outlying Islands", "Saint Lucia", etc.).

And population-wise, at least around half (~1.15 billion of the ~2.26 billion affected) of them would be banned from even playing a game like this to begin with due to the game's "Content", either by local law or for religious reasons.

This is not even talking about the value of the local currency and regional pricing for the countries affected.


It sucks for the (minority) of people affected, but the only significant group of people that are actually affected on that list look to me to be Russian-speaking countries.

Isn't using a VPN on Steam against the rules?
