I can fully understand the agreement between the two parties was “also requires a psn account” while AH being completely unaware that getting a PSN account is so restrictive.
Sony likely didnt explicitly add that the game cannot be sold in regions where they can’t create an account.

Communicate better? Not sell the game in markets where it wouldn’t work. The limitation was something from the get go.
