The censored one is probably Niger

UPDATE - special thanks to @dditty@lemm.ee for making a map showing the countries without access to PSN:

    The publishet is Sony. This way Sony can harvest your data and has total control over bans. If they didnt force the links bans for pc players would go through steam and could be challenged over steam in the case of an unfair ban.

      The only data they can get is what you already share in game. And a little portion of what is on Steam.

        You obviously have to give them whatever data is required for a PSN account. You could give them fake personal data of course, but good luck remembering your fake info if you ever need to reset your password.

      That isn’t how bans work at all. The only bans which go through steam are VAC bans, and those are not a requirement.

        You’re mistaken. If they make you log into PSN to play the game, then being banned via PSN would also lock you out of the game.

          That isn’t what they are saying. They claim Sony needs PSN for the game in order to enforce a ban, otherwise it has to go through Steam.
