The requirement is still there.Was the Steam page in this regard updated? Or is the requirement still shown?
I remember when a game wasn't available in my country, I had to import it. If those people really really want to play the game, they could import a PlayStation and the game and set a fake PSN account. It's shitty, but at least they would be able to play.
Maybe in a few years Sony will be able to operate in those countries and the players don't have to import anymore.
They also said they would be walking it back though.
I wish people didn't have to go through such roundabout ways just to play games from PlayStation simply because PlayStation doesn't offer support for those countries.
