Ah see, that's the context I needed. Thank you. Outside a refund window or not - if I were in a country that got locked out, steam had better be real gracious with their refunds. That scenario is unacceptable. Strange that PSN restricts themselves geographically.. they absolutely should have thought of that before allowing the game to be sold in those countries.

Yeah, I'm sure some executive is trying to pump up "active monthly" PSN users for some political, KPI, or share evaluation purposes. We kind of expect them to play these games, its the retroactive bit that's surprising here.
