lets hope it one day it will happen for what ever reason, just now we can still stare at region-locked message

I think it has something to do with selling software digitally. Otherwise, this is just a Sony fuckup. They sell games and their console here, but on Steam, I can't buy any of their games. I can make a PSN account, by selecting a country near me (or any really), so a PSN account creation isn't blocked either. I legit don't know why they removed the option to buy. Like, I somehow have Ghost of Tsushima in my library, despite seeing people get their copy refunded in non-PSN countries, and I just created a PSN account and logged into it. The game works fine, everything works fine. Sony is perhaps removing the "mandatory" so that it can sell the games again? Who knows.

I remember his post but I can only assume he used AI because even using his numbers, you get an actual total of just less than 2.2 billions, which is nowhere near 2/3 of the world population.
AI is notoriously bad at simple additions.

You couldn't get to 2/3 of the population without India and China unless you had all the other countries combined.

By my calculations, the current number is just around 2.5 billions, which is just north of 30% of the current population (standing at around 8.2 billions). I can't believe I was right that first time lol (I suck at numbers)

Still, it's ridiculous that they exclude that many people.
I have seen people argue that some of these countries are "too poor" to really matter to a corporation selling entertainment but that's simply BS. Some of the poorest countries on this list have a massive population and even a small percentage of that being wealthy means millions of potential consumers ignored.
