List of countries that cannot make a PSN account, following the Helldivers 2 controversy.
(programming.dev)
The censored one is probably Niger
UPDATE - special thanks to @dditty@lemm.ee for making a map showing the countries without access to PSN:
I’m not a big gamer so I’m not entirely getting this. It sounds like the issue is they want you to link your steam and PSN accounts, which people don’t want to do. And in some countries it’s even a TOS violation.
My question is, why would they have such a requirement to link the two accounts in the first place?
~~The legitimate reason is for crossplay.~~ Sony said in the announcement it was for player "protection", so they could ban people. Plus there is no doubt some data tracking going on.
But cross-platform worked just fine before this requirement? Or atleast well enough, I've been playing with a PS4 friend for the last month.
Did it? I stand corrected, then.
