Sony went back on the mandatory PSN account linking requirement for now, which is great, but it seems they aren't fully backing down yet.

The game still cant be purchased in over 100 countries where you cant make a PSN account, despite the game no longer requiring account linking. This sounds a lot like Sony planning to implement mandatory account linking anyway after this all dies down.

Kind of ironic that for a game all about freedom, democracy, and capitalism a large amount of people aren't free to buy this otherwise pretty excellent game.
