List of countries that cannot make a PSN account, following the Helldivers 2 controversy.
(programming.dev)
The censored one is probably Niger
UPDATE - special thanks to @[email protected] for making a map showing the countries without access to PSN:
~~One RUMOR I've heard is so it looks like more people are registering with PSN, to make up for loss of PS sales?~~ Doesn't make the most sense, but I'm sure its a mixture of that and your data $$$
Edit: I'm sure they are using the increase of accounts to make theirs elves look more favorable. All around, it's shitty, and helldivers will suffer for it. Steam has already allowed refunds from countries that can no longer play.
That would be pretty obvious fraud, I doubt that.
Which part? I'm sure it would be fraud to pad their numbers that way. Unless they used a seperate metric which looked favorable to shareholders since number of accounts goes up.
The data part I don't think you meant to cast doubt on, thats a given.
I meant padding their numbers like that yes.
