Even worse! You can't even have a PSN account everywhere you can have a Steam account with this game

I live in one of the grey countries. You can create an account, but Sony offers different stores in different countries, so you have to pick another country. They even sells consoles in many of the grey countries. The biggest issue is that you probably won't be able to buy anything without extra hustle because your card is not issued in the country of your PSN account. Also, this is technically against their ToS. But you can create an account to play Helldivers 2.

With that said, I can't speak for all countries. Maybe somewhere it's really impossible to create an account without VPN.

I live in a gray country as well. It's like this for a lot of products. And a lot of websites block you too. Everything here is more complicated

The baltics and the balkans never get a break.

As if having been oppressed by orcs is not enough.

Shit, they were both oppressed forever. The byzantines for the Balkans and the northern crusade and the teutonic order against the Balts come to mind.

Now the Japanese want to being their reign of terror with restrictive game accounts!
