Notably, the clause is conspicuously absent from terms governing Mexico, the United States, and several other regions, meaning players there are not currently subject to the policy. By contrast, the provision has been enforceable in the United Kingdom and various European countries for years, though it largely escaped public notice until the recent physical-format debate brought renewed scrutiny to Sony’s digital practices.
Or if you are from Russia. Apparently that was never about the war 🥴
I can't use my account anyway since they're insisting that I used an authenticator app for account verification when I absolutely did NOT, and they won't give me access to my shit now.
All in on live services.
