    Awesome, then Sony can ban those accounts for circumventing their ToS, meaning people can buy the same game multiple times. Very efficient!

        Their ToS state:

        3.2. During Account creation you must select the country or region of your residence and in which your account will be registered in. Once your account is created, you will not be able to change the country or region code associated with your account.

        https://www.playstation.com/en-us/legal/psn-terms-of-service/

        Since they explicitly say “you must select the country or region of your residence”, selecting a different country is against the ToS. Did you not bother to look them up before making your comment?

          Well I guess I’m f*cked, since I’ve been using a us account for 15 years and haven’t resided there in all that time. I suppose any day now my account gets banned because that’s how this works.

            How about you stop licking Sony’s boots and accept that it’s not a viable solution to tell people “the only way to consume this media is for you to be in constant danger of being banned”?

            They can remove your access to the game. That is unacceptable from a consumer rights perspective.

              Not licking anybody’s boots here, just trying to point out that the issue wasn’t as bad as people love to make it out to be. Go make a psn account in another region. See if Sony actually cares.

                What if earnings don’t go up enough next quarter, and they see this as an opportunity to make more money? What if they expand PSN coverage and start enforcing their ToS then? You’re giving people advice that will likely result in them losing access to their purchases in the future. That’s bootlicking to me.

                  Who said anything about earnings? What are you on about?

                    Sony is a public company. Companies exist to make money. If Sony thinks they can get more money by banning ToS-breaking PSN accounts (since people would have to buy games again to play them), they’ll do so.

                    Why do you think companies exist?
