Honestly I’m more annoyed by the rootkit “anti-cheat” the game uses, than this Sony action. It’s easy enough to make a burner email account for Sony, and for better or worse, I’m not in one of the countries impacted.
They DEFINITELY need to refund all players that are from newly blocked countries - anything short of a full refund is unacceptable, but it’s not like people have cared that PSN is unavailable in Nigeria before this point.
All that said, I love seeing the community putting Sony’s feet on the fire for implementing even mildly anti-consumer BS. I just wish the outrage was more consistent

Exactly. Little/no backlash when the game was announced with these anti-features. It’s not even a competitive game. If one of my teammates was cheating I’d probably just laugh.
Not saying I don’t think they deserve to be upset, it’s just strange when and what they choose to be upset about.

Except it is because you have to connect said account to your Steam account.
Yeah I was actually baffled by the lack of backlash for that, as that was much worse than the PSN account requirement issue, at least data/privacy wise.
