PC gamers in countries without PlayStation Network have expressed their frustration at Sony after the confirmation they cannot buy single-player games God of War Ragnarok and Until Dawn on Steam.
Sony is really desperate for more revenue. To the point they are refusing to sell their products unless they can harvest your data to sell. It’s rather sad. I wonder if they’ll have enough money for the R&D and production for the PS6 or PS5Pro.
It’s also baffling why Sony doesn’t expand PSN to other countries if they are hindered from selling products due to that.
Probably not worth jumping though all the compliance hoops. Meaning it gets pretty risky if you do all sorts of shady shit without having lawyers and compliance people tell you which rules hurt and which are merely a small fine.
For every country they expand to, they need a legal expert for that country. It gets expensive quick, and sometimes you just dont expect enough return for the investment.
My statement is based on the fact that they require a PSN account to play their games on PC now. And if they can’t offer PSN in a country, they aren’t offering the games for sale either. It’s quite literally impossible to avoid a free PSN account if you want to play their games on PC without pirating.

Why do something smart and difficult when you could do something stupid and greedy?
I like your style, Johnson. You’re going to fit well here.

If only there were other income streams for a video game company 🤔
The bad PR and potential lost sale might make them reconsider the expense vs benefit.
