Which ones?
You've gone and sided with the multibillion dollar company, and have posted cringe as a result. Why have you done that?

It's supported in my country and that's the important thing.

Most of Africa from what I recall. The Philippines too. I think there's like 190 regions that aren't supported.

It's not a huge issue unless you live in an area that can't create a PSN account. That's a big issue.

Its an issue if both of these are true:

* you cant create a PSN account
* you have access to stream

The black regions are the only ones that don't have any access to Steam at all, and you can see that there's only a handful of them.

I guess what Im saying is that I feel a lot of people only care about Somalia and the like because its a useful stick to bash Sony for. I dont recall ever seeing a topic previously on Somalia not having access to PSN.
It's still utterly useless data harvesting.
Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Yet it got currently region locked on steam, after that article was published, and no one knows why because everyone is silent.

So, yeah, people don't have that much trust in words right now.

Best I have found is this:

https://insider-gaming.com/which-countries-have-psn/

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/f2a09f30.jpg

Be aware that I can't guarantee that this is correct, and that I also heard about some less nice technicalities here and there.

Like, in UK you have provide a passport / image to age verify yourself, and in Ukraine I heard that you need a PlayStation to create the PSN account.

So, not only is it nearly all of Africa, there are also issues for some parts of Europe, Asia, the caribean, and the pacific region.

Hell, for some reason even Liechtenstein, Monaco and Andora are simply ignored because they seem to be too small for Sony to care about

I thought I spelled it out but guess not. I get the feeling some people are acting outraged purely because they hate Sony and this is a good stick to hit them with.

Is it shitty to require PSN to play a game on steam? Sure. But where was the outrage when you needed an Ubi account to play Ubi games or similar. Again Im not saying its not shitty. It definitely is. But the so called outrage seems a bit much to me personally.

People constantly complained, I don't know how you missed it. Hell, I still remember when people were pissed that you had to get some games through Steam.

Ubi, to my knowledge at least, didn't give you a pass to play their game and then came behind and go "Oh BTW if you don't get an account, you cannot play at all."

Maybe in the long game of like, an early 2010s game then when UPlay came around requiring an account (at least if you're connected to the internet), that happened but to give players an active option to skip then forcing the issue is shitty
The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.
I must have missed that. Did they remove the need for an account in the end?

Problem is it isn't only shitty, it's shitty^3.

  • The account linking bullshit is always annoying, but if the game is primary sold over the ubistore or EA Store or whatever, and Steam is just the secondary retail plattform... well, then I can still decide if I want it on Steam or not. If it were mandatory and a big issue, people could still simply decide not to buy it, or refund it within Steam as soon as the pop up would come up.
  • It now went on for 3 months. Everything is working fine, I have no issues with cheaters or hackers, even the scumbags are pretty rare and there is not a single issue with crossplay either. The game works fine with Steam accounts. Crossplay, ingame store, everything works, so suddenly there is a need for the PSN account when they proved for months that their servers are able to handle steam 100% fine. They showed us how good the steam account works, and now tell us that we have to link a PSN account, for reasons.
  • The whole region issue. That's just baffling, and a huge fuckup. Something like that should not be possible for such a big international company at all.
Planning is the process of replacing chance with error.
I think if I were to pull one criticism I 100% agree with its why let people buy the game AND THEN enforce the PSN requirement? Thats one hell of a bait and switch and is crap.

So is this similar to EA account linking with gamepass? Super annoying I hate it. Just a way for multiple companies to get your account info.

The closest thing to this would be having to log into Xbox Live to play games like Halo and Sea of Thieves on Steam.

Personally I think it's a really stupid thing to complain about, but the people who bought it in countries that it wasn't available was a complete shit show and really stupid of Sony to do.

What's one more company harvesting and selling your data amirite
How can the moon landing be real if the moon isn't real?
as has been noted this is just for data harvesting

and so they can tell investors HEY LOOK PSN NUMBERS ARE UP

oh also has has been noted sony has god awful cyber security

Why is it stupid to complain about?
Why has it become fashionable to just accept every bit of shit these corporations try to shovel down your throat?
What do PC players gain from signing up for a PSN account? They get absolutely nothing and Sony gets everything just so they can artificially pump up their anemic PSN numbers for quarterly reports.

It's pointless and stupid. Why is it a bad thing to call it pointless and stupid?

They get better and more efficient ways to report cheaters and griefers which was the intent. Which currently does not exist at all. So instead this wild outrage over needing to *check notes* take two minutes to make up a fake name and one use email account to continue playing the game you got does seem like small potatoes.

Again selling the game where PSN was not available is shit and they rightfully should be raked over the coals for it. But I sincerely doubt everyone here is completely removed from the Internet without any account for anything so it's quite a moot point. Kudos even if you're posting from your smart phone
