Yes but Sony is the party that's forcing the block in non-supported regions. If ShiftUp were self publishing or going through a different publisher, this would not be occurring. And this all boils down to Sony not supporting certain regions with PSN. PC is the platform, Steam the delivery method, and Sony is the arbitrator that's refusing to sell to those regions.
I don't care where the fuck up comes from. It's shit that only happens pn PC. The Joy of PC gaming! Hassle free!
Dense = fact. Bye.
Most of them were colonised(aka occupied/conquered) by westerners, so obviously they are very poor now when foreign enemy countries extracted all the wealth(and manpower sometimes too, aka slaves) for tens and sometimes even hundreds of years, my country began over milenia ago but we are still well behind the west(roughly 4-5x lower salaries) coz we lost our independence for 123 years, and not even 20 years later we were in the middle of ww2
, then even tho we won ww2 we were sold out by our allies to communists 
You don't own it digitally. Denuvo is just a reminder.
Legally the only way is you take a trip to another country to buy
On PS5 I can pick any region. They don't give a shit there as they are selling their consoles worldwide. Even payments by card work and in my country Sony support told someone to choose the nearest region as there is no support for my region.
Not only that, there's also "Lake Chad". More like a puddle these days, but some ten thousand years ago when Sahara was still a savannah, it was much bigger. And it was called, I shit you not, "Lake Mega-Chad".
Be that as it may, doesn't change the fact that PSN is unsupported in those regions.
Are you telling me that every indie studio or solo developer out there is set up for taxes in those countries while giant mega corporation sony isnt?
I'm sure people in San marino are very poor and having an hard time...
That's not how Steam works, you can change address anywhere in the world as long as you have a means to provide payment in the local currency with a local billing address(most credit cards are region locked, but it's not impossible).
Vatican City and especially Monaco are poor fuckers as well! lol
Yeah, that might be a reason....but its weird that Sony didnt region blocked any games when they started releasing on steam. It all just came up with the forced PSN shit. Than they took PSN off again, but kept the region locking. Looks to me that this is something Sony could easily remove...they might just need to advise steam accordingly.
Don't tell me you just found out this country exists, lol
He is just another sad fanboy that will likely get banned soon enough. He has to take potshots while he can. I mean, you can't even official buy a PS5 in any of those regions, but apparently PC gaming is the problem.
Sometimes it's because of license/copyright. Chroma Squad was inspired by super sentai and then it got region locked in Asia because of Toei (the owner of super sentai)
It's probably the stupid MAU shenanigans. Sony wants to jack up the numbers for their investment talks and a Steam user with a PSN login basically counts for that.Yeah, that might be a reason....but its weird that Sony didnt region blocked any games when they started releasing on steam.

And that other platform will never be that scamfest.
But it's a hassle, isn't it?
Oh, the joy!
