      Same thing with XBOX. I had to try really really hard to give them money.

      So OP thinks that if you are a small and poor country you don’t deserve PS support? Very elitist OP…

      >!just joking, but careful how you phrase things!<

      I think it has to do with some European regulations or documentations. And cost based on population is not worth it.

      It’s not too uncommon for international vendors to leave out the Baltics. Sometimes it can lead to difficulties in ordering and paying. Sometimes they just *assume* the language that the customers in the Baltics prefer and often that is Russian – in that case the entire nations lift their middle finger to that vendor in unison.

      Oman but not Egypt?
      Lebanon but not Iran?

      Shouldn’t be about how rich or large a country is. Isn’t a political thing either.

      Now I am curious what the actual reason is

      What does it mean “PlayStation supported countries”?

      Can’t I play with the PlayStation in the Baltics? Or in Egypt?

      In the case of Moldova I think it’s because it’s a poor country. The price of the console is more than the average monthly income. The games too are expensive. I mean, I live in Italy and a €500 purchase is something you have to give it some thought.

      Are you sure there are other smaller countries? Estonia has 1,3 million inhabitants.

      They support every other EU country, and it’s supposed to be a single market, so why not also support the baltics? Does it conflict with EU laws at all by not officially selling in those countries?

      I don’t believe Serbia is supported for the PlayStation, unless that’s something recent. I had to open a UK account to access the PS store.

      It’s not unique to Sony. Nintendo and Xbox are even worse, with less countries able to officially access their stores and services. Only Steam is close to a truly worldwide storefront (except for a few countries it is banned in).

      Localization needs to be done.

      They won’t do this for a small and not very rich market.

      Latin America because it is essentially a single store in terms of development. Spanish language + payment in US dollars.

      Arab countries that are here – the same scheme.

      Iceland – site in English + payment in dollars.

      This playstation seems to be a strong king able to have and support these many allies

      I CAN’T USE A PLAYSTATION ACCOUNT IN THE DPRK, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

      According to this map, which would be the other “smaller and poorer” countries?

    29. desertedlamp4 on

      East Asia such as Thailand and Philippines maybe yeah? But the map looks mostly developed world to me

    31. guilhermefdias on

      It’s not supported in some countries because of regulations and govermental BS from said countries.

      Maybe they belong to some ” areas”? Like they are like considered as part of former USSR? Or they simply don’t have enough players?

      The Balkans also miss some countries.
