Likely PSN requirements. Same thing happened with Helldivers until Sony reversed the decision.

Helldivers is still blocked for those countries. They just dropped the PSN requirement.

That’s Sony telling the customers they kicked to the curb that it wasn’t because of the PSN thing.

It was personal.

Could you elaborate a little more? Like do those countries not allow subscription services or something?

Only reason i can think of with my rational, non-global-economic brain is that it’s got too much gory/sexual/political/whatever content that isn’t worth the effort censoring.

They are countries that do not have PSN access. As Sony wants to make PSN accounts mandatory on PC, they got in hot water for selling their games in countries where you can’t legally even have a PSN account.

In response, they blocked sales in all those countries.
