The censored one is probably Niger
UPDATE - special thanks to @dditty@lemm.ee for making a map showing the countries without access to PSN:
I'm in Finland and peering toward Estonia and wondering what the heck did they do to annoy Sony so much that you can't make a PSN account there.
My instant guess would be that Estonians are in possession of a Sony tape deck from the 1980s that still works (being a Sony product from the 1980s), and Sony is like "No! We refuse to do business there until they join the modern time planned obsolescence club."
Wasn't Valve the one who pointed out that Russia was always pirating games not because they were inherently pirates but because the game releases had zero support for Russia lol. Hence why Valve was the first foreign developer/publisher that gained an actual foothold in the Russian market.
This is kind of like the same thing. Sony will just say something dumb like "we don't allow PSN accounts in these countries because they're full of pirates".
I’m not a big gamer so I’m not entirely getting this. It sounds like the issue is they want you to link your steam and PSN accounts, which people don’t want to do. And in some countries it’s even a TOS violation.
My question is, why would they have such a requirement to link the two accounts in the first place?
Can we get a similar map of Helldivers 2 players, based on location, prior to the change?
Andorra
Someone must stop this cruel oppression against the ethnic group of influencers.
My brothers and sisters in San Marino will have to make that long trek to Italy, sad.
Why are there so many overseas territories in there? No wonder so many people are pissed off
Serbia is not on the list?! Impossible!
Pretty sure it's possible in Liechtenstein, Andorra and Monaco
I love how "Niger" is censored. :)
Everyone always forgets about Suriname.
Lacked readability so I did a search

Why Andorra — is Andor a swear now?
Maybe someday they'll invent VPNs in those places.
Since definitely nobody has ever played a PlayStation in those countries. Never ever.
/Sarcasm.
(The absolute GLEE coming out of people who aren't even remotely affected by the PSN requirement really says a lot about how ragebait has broken people's brains)
