Sure, but if I put myself in their shoes, what better options did they have?

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Communicate better? Not sell the game in markets where it wouldn’t work. The limitation was something from the get go.

Push their scummy politics at launch so people know what they get into or not.

Easy: Don't be a greedy asshole and don't sell in regions with no PSN support.

I can fully understand the agreement between the two parties was "also requires a psn account" while AH being completely unaware that getting a PSN account is so restrictive.

Sony likely didnt explicitly add that the game cannot be sold in regions where they can't create an account.

Edit: or the didn't explicitly state which regions a psn account CAN be created in.
