stop this bs excuse already.
Sony knowingly sold in countries they did NOT support PSN with and then delisted the game from those countries MONTHS after release. Stop defending Sony, hold them accountable, this is scummy behavior on their part.
Excuse. LOL
You can create a PSN acc. no matter what country you are in, you just have to link it to a different countries address if PSN isn't available in your country. I'm using US PSN account with fake address for 15+ years and living in Europe and without VPN. So, what's the problem?
