PSN gone yet 177 countries still banned.
I guess democracy is dead after all. All hail Sony they removed the mandatory PSN requirement and still blocked 177 countries but now close to 200. The reviews are back to positive and they still ended up screwing countries and countless players in the process.

I really thought the PC gaming community was standing up to Sony not just for the PSN being forced but for also screwing over so many others gamers but I guess not as long as they can play and no PSN is required all is good again......

Update

Thank you to giftigkeit for the updated link.

There are 195 countries on Earth. There are more than 18 that can have a PSN account or buy this game.

Without using Google, tell me something about those 177 countries. Where are they located? What is their national language? What is their national religion? What is their government type? What is their economy like?

Most of the countries are in Africa. North Korea is on the list you know that country's name is really Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea? Russia is on the list along with recently Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania they are located up by Poland along the Baltic Sea. I'm not making a PSN account and even if they take them off the list I wont play again, maybe.

the country ban is actually steam after the sony fiasco.
steam always moves fast when it comes to litigation and potential problems which is why it has remain as the number 1 pc gaming platform......

the ban and steam refund was actually what prompt sony to reverse the decision not really the negative reviews since sony usually couldnt give less of a ♥♥♥♥ about consumers unless they lose real tangible money

In my country we have a law to protect from bait and switch they sold the game where both Sony and AH websites showed PSN was optional then they changed it to Mandatory months after launch.

So I would agree the bans and refunds Sony did not want to loose money and once they backed down on PSN all went back to positive and Steam still has the 177 locations still de-listed and show no signs of restoring them.

Snoy never said that PSN is gone. They said it won't be implemented in recent update and that's it.

True but considering the considerable backlash of the gamer community for them to try and bring it back would be a disaster.

Which leads to any future games from Sony to PC will be mandatory PSN from the start. I am just disappointed that people only seem to care about PSN and not the massive list of other people getting screwed over.

steam probably knows something we dont (laws like what you said), it is then very LIKELY sony will implement psn if thats the case

Just to clarify Steam hs confirmed that it was Snoy who delisted all those countries. And since than they have delisted additional countries as well as did the same for ghost of thusima. Safe to say all Snoy games going forward will not be sold in delisted counties. Probably preparation for upcoming separate launcher.

So you can't answer me? Okay, here is a more simple version focused on one "country", picked from the list, when did Puerto Rico become an independent country? How did they gain independence from the USA? Was there a war?
Or Greenland, when did they break away from Denmark?

Cry about 177 countries and you all know nothing at all about those "countries" except that it gives you an excuse to act like a victim.

It is sad but true I see any Sony product in the future from the get go will be mandatory PSN sign up or login. If HD2 was any indication this will not bold well for them from the PC community.

Sorry I am trying my best not to mock you as out of that entire list of people who purchased the game and will not be able to play it or who cannot purchase the game or other games in the future from Sony as they are de-listed now the only thing you seem upset about Puerto Rico was listed as a country and not as a commonwealth......

Honestly I am not sure if you are here just to troll, brown nose, or maybe you are a few fries short of a happy meal but you asked for a list of those locations language, religion government etc which have nothing to do with the current discussion of them being well de-listed or blocked from Sony games so why are you here in the first place if you have nothing of value to add to this discussion.
