Sony has been banned from feddit.org
😂
I still don’t understand how blocking individual EU countries conforms to the EU single market.
It doesn’t
Who is going to report them?
Probably nobody 🫤
I mean I hoped someone would.
How do I report them
You can try sg-plaintes@ec.europa.eu (no idea if this email still works) or their website contact form but this is usually for breaches of EU laws by member states. https://ec.europa.eu/law/application-eu-law/report-breach/en/check-your-criteria
Some poor antarctic scientist is gonna be fucking pissed.
Also Sony DOES NOT realize how much of their customer base are penguins living on remote islands… who have been getting slammed with sanctions on penguin tux imports from Italy and now this?!
Are they adding a PSN Account requirement to a single player game again?
Should be illegal. It’s not, but it should be. Globally.
Worse. Denuvo.

It may be large but EU is certainly not the largest.
This is something I think even the Chinese government would want to ban.
Those poor two or three guy in Antarctica…
RIP the penguins.
Play Anywhere ™️
Except for countries where we don’t allow you to
Why?
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.

Sorry Pope Leo, no game for you!
Nothing to see here, just Sony doing Sony things. Money burning a hole in your pocket? Go grab a handful of indie games.
It will also have Denuvo, 70€, and it is the in top selling games on Steam right now. Well, that happens when gaming becomes mainstream i guess…
Does that mean it can’t run on the steam deck then?
Steam Deck compatibility is uknown atm. But the new Doom has also Denuvo and it is available on Steam Deck.
What’s bizzare to me is that the game is banned in Lithuania, but not in Latvia. The two countries are like twins.
It’s fine, I wasn’t going to buy it anyway.
Edit: LV is in Purchase Restricted Countries list, just not in the one with the flags, for some reason.
It is also weird that They restricted Belarus but not Russia.
This games sucks anyway. If it’s blocked in your country, go play Bayonetta.
