This may be a dumb question and I'm truly not trying to start fanboy nonsense but can anyone explain why this recent push by Sony is different than having to have an Xbox account for Halo MCC or Epic Games account for something like It Takes Two? Is it those are available in more countries? I'm on board with the hate of this type of crap and Sony deserves it but just curious why these last two releases are different than previous publishers and multi account requirements?
You can't create a PSN account in something like 190 countries and regions, including some European Union member countries, all of Africa except one country, etc.
Gotcha, I had read 118 countries last night but I get that it's a huge amount.
For comparison I found these today:
Epic games is basically available everywhere but Iraq and north Korea
Xbox supported countries seemed to be about 100ish but I think I've heard maybe their ToS wasn't as restrictive.
Nintendo only appears to support a handful of countries for their online accounts but obviously they aren't selling to PC gamers.
I figured amount of countries was a big factor. I'm one of those oblivious selfish bastards who has the accounts for everything above and doesn't have issues so I was curious for those who cannot. Appreciate your response!
