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.
Edit: or the didn’t explicitly state which regions a psn account CAN be created in.

Sure, but if I put myself in their shoes, what better options did they have?
Push their scummy politics at launch so people know what they get into or not.

Easy: Don’t be a greedy asshole and don’t sell in regions with no PSN support.
