What’s the point of region restricting PSN accounts?
It's kind of weird too since they sell PS5s in regions where PSN isn't officially supported.
Except getting more user information, I don’t really see the big advantage for Sony so it’d be interesting to know why they want to require a PSN account in countries where you can’t get one.
Also I’d want to know why you can’t get one in some countries.
