Steamcharts show no real dip in players (beyond the natural downward trend the game's been on that's just natural for a game to have over time).
So Sony will probably just walk it back coz well they already have the psn info of anyone who still plays the game. They can just claim they listened to community and have their cake at the same time.
This honestly reads more like an overreach from Steam than from Sony. What's likely going on is with everyone going "oh you can't have an off-region account without breaking Sony's TOS" Steam feels pressured to cover their ass, ironically by enforcing said TOS more than Sony ever has. Given some of the sloppiness in this delisting it wouldn't surprise me if Steam grabbed a list of PSN regions and banned anything that wasn't on it.
This whole mess really highlights how much power perception has in shaping reality. We have essentially willed an enforced PSN out-of-region ban into existence. Rules only have power when they're complied to, and if enough people believe a rule exists then it effectively does. So now Sony has manifested before them an out-of-region prohibition policy that they are now obligated to either accept or actively revoke. At this point Sony just needs to backtrack everything, accept the L no matter how unfair it is, and pray to God that PC gamers take that and let this move on.

I hope so, at the very least so everything can go back to normal next week and we can focus on deactivating the TCS.

It's def on sale in Canada.
EDIT: You're looking at a specific package. The Japanese version.

Yes, that's the one people are pointing to and going "Steam delisted the game".
Was it actually ever for sale in vietnam? Coz steamDB has no price history for the region, which implies it never was for sale there.

To be fair buying the game in steam doesn't require it to be on sale in your location. VP Ns exist.
...It definitely was showing them a few minutes ago, I was reading them off of Steam DB and that's where everyone on reddit was getting it, but they seem to have hidden it (or I'm just braindead) because I can't find it again reopening the page.
Edit: ah I'm stupid, it's not on the game listing itself it's on the commercial packages of the game.

Sony is bad with data security so people don't trust them. A lot of P Cheads are extremely paranoid (yesterday my friends were bitching about the fact that barber shops even ask if you want an account for the shop that requires a phone number) about cybersecurity and the like. Ergo because this is sudden its bad. I also think the fact its a mandatory link to an outside account on a different game platform to be asinine and unnecessary.

Everybody now has a completely justified response for making a completely functioning game literally unavailable to people when it was before. I dont get how doing this is a defendable position.
