The only thing I would say isn't 100% correct here is that the decision to require a Playstation account was made 6 months before the game launched, not after. Technical issues prevented the game from launching with the requirement actually implemented though, and from the abruptness of the original announcement, I would guess that the developers are the ones who actually had their "grace period" from Sony to get it implemented expire.

if that were so, why go through the trouble of translating the game to Russian / Chinese? no psn there. Incompetant greed, thru n thru.

Lots of people have primary languages that don't align with where they live, actually

I could appreciate your point if they didn't region lock the localizations. Try downloading the japanese I'll wait.

Japanese is region locked because of something to do with licensing around the VAs I believe, like they'd have had to pay a lot more to distribute it internationally

Also, Russian and Chinese aren't region locked, so their point is still completely valid
