WHY THERE IS NO PSN IN BALTIC STATES AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES?

[CenterL]

Im from Latvia and i want to play some of the Playstation games, but i cant, because there is no PSN in my country. Why?

You'd have to ask Sony and/or local trade regulations.

[Sixtyfivekills]

Because they suck.



It'd be one thing if PSN was brand new and only launched in few countries, but its been ages and ages and my place still doesn't exist for it.

i think they dont find those countries profitable enough to invest and set up services in there. they have to pay taxes even if it isnt profitable

I dont understand what is the problem, because almost all of the other services are available in those countries.

japan has been kind of wishy-washy on backing russian sanctions, since the sanctions don't work and harm everybody's economies.

in the past, when they've tacitly breached the sanctions, russia has backstabbed them. or russian elements beholden to outside forces have; who knows. russia didn't want to say they weren't theirs, so.

i'd assume the corps are tired of walking that line and are simply backing a blanket ban on any market russia has any control or major influence in.

this might seem excessive or tone-deaf but you have to understand. sony's run by a 2-bit robot that can't actually analyze markets. infact it's hard-pressed to audit its own finances. if another robot-cumma-emperor, such as the King, decides to cut them in on a little sanction exploitation by spreading sanctions where they don't need to go...wo're they gonna trust more, a rival robot King or their human slaves? which one's gonna have a bigger impact on their decisionmaking?

But they find Iceland profitable? It's a literal island in the middle of the ocean which probably requires dedicated servers in the country with 300k inhabitants and their own currency. Nope the reason is not that. They just don't want to expand PSN.
