Now if only I could see this on a map

Overlay it on that Steam active user map, so we can count all 8 people who’ll need to fire up that VPN they use for literally everything they already do online.

as someone who is in a country where services are regularly blocked and you need to use a VPN,

fuck off.

Hey, congrats! Sounds like you’ve already figured out the solution to this “problem”.

I notice that you specifically worded your comment to not address whether PSN is blocked where you are.

I’ll assume it definitely is blocked where you are, and you’re not just another PCMR-bro who thinks signing up for a PSN account will make people think they’re a “console gamer”.

Truly a master of empathy. I’m astounded by your compassion for people who have different problems than you and who fall into minority groups.

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.
