Do. Not. Buy. Sony. Games.
I dunno how many times we have to keep hammerin this one in. If you absolutely must play their latest vapid, designed-by-committee bullshit, at least pirate it.

Don't gotta tell me twice lmao
It's a shame really, Sony is one of the last of the prolific single player AAA producers, everyone else seems intent on shoveling multi-player crap out and maybe doing SP as an after thought:(

Agreed! Never bought one, but have played most, and have had a great time.

They did it to to Helldivers 2 and now this... Have they done it to any other games after sales were made in those countries?

I don't think they have. Forbidden West was the last game they released that didn't have the restriction (until now apparently) every game since has been locked in all but ~70 countries. I live in one of the non PSN countries. Fuck sony. Don't give them a penny. Play this when it comes out instead

Man, Sony don't know how to not fuck themselves.

I get the other countries but North Korea?! I’ll be surprised if they even have access to Steam!

It would likely be the upper echelon of NK that have access to it if anything.

So much for paying for it!

The exact same bullshit they pulled on Helldivers 2 and all their other recent PC games, for that matter, even the single player ones needing PSN logins and region locks. Don't buy their stuff.
