The censored one is probably Niger

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

    Why do Gamers raging about stuff that doesn’t even affect them deserve my empathy.

    And if we’re going to try and turn this into racism, let’s ignore the PCMR gang (who rally behind a literal Aryan “master race” meme) trying to act offended about Subsaharan Africa losing access to a videogame. Layers of irony. When in reality they’re mad about having to sign up for a “console account”.

      Why do people expressing frustration deserve your explicit lack of empathy? Why do you care so much? Why is “aha! Gotcha! You’re from Iran, so you’re neglected luxuries in other situations but not this one so your opinion doesn’t matter” sound like a reasonable response to you?

      You sound like a bitter spiteful individual who’s more interested in finding a reason to be contrarian and angry with people than compassionate. Coincidentally with frustrations over corporations.

      Go take a break from the internet if “why does a human deserve my empathy?” Seems like something that is ever reasonable to say or think. Empathy doesn’t mean you have to agree with someone, to preempt that lame excuse.

        Cool cool cool… Going all-in on a dumbass-YouTube-influencer-led campaign to ruin a game dev over a manufactured outrage because PC Game-Bros don’t want to log into a “console” account. Super cool.

        Look at how most people actually respond to the hits the dev has taken from this…

        Pride. Glee. Excitement. “Yay I’m part of something!” “Look at RxBrad he’s not agreeing with our mob, get him!”

        This isn’t empathy or justice or doing the right thing. Dipshits on the Internet adore outrage, and literally get off on watching something burn.

        “They shouldn’t have allowed people where there’s no PSN to buy the game”

        “omg! They did what we demanded and delisted the game where there’s no PSN! People in those regions can even get refunds no matter how much they played. That’s racist!”

        Go outside, people.

          You are certainly showing me that someone enjoys outrage yes.

          (You’re also the only one I’ve seen referencing anything about console vs PC stuff.)
