I see. It’s unfortunate because if those games stayed on those stores, people could make an account in foreign regions without issue. I didn’t need a vpn to make a Japanese psn in Europe, and Sony doesn’t care that I’m playing PS5 games online from my U.S. account in Europe as long as I’m buying my games and network subscription in US$. I haven’t set foot in the states in over 15 years. Sony support even helped me recover my account when my authentication app lost its data once. Just know which address you used, you’re birthday and stuff.

PC gamers wouldn’t even need to worry about buying their games in native currency or even the online subscription in the first place. Simply make the account and don’t be a dick to bring attention to yourself.

Either way, yeah. Piracy is the optimal option left to players in those regions.
