Getting country specific ban is really something new

So with new Dutch and Belgian laws, to release an online game you need to fill a lot of paperwork so smaller games even without loot boxes wouldn't put effort to release their games in that region.

So here giga r-slurred example: Lollipop Chainsaw remaster. Came out on 12 September and pre orders were available. In Dutch store nothing no preorders no release then on 25 September it drops out. On Belgium store it dropped out on 3rd October. Like why would we need EU standards and etc if countries can reject them and create their own standards. So what online did Lollipop Chainsaw have leaderboard. So Dutch localisation needed 2 weeks (game had preorder early access) to determine if the game was safe and Belgian minister even longer

Like I understand if Germany would do it devs would care or if France or for frick sake Canada but Belgium and Netherlands

With Lollipop Chainsaw it wasn't big deal since game was mostly offline so I just get germ version.

But some games require always online connections. In the past it wasn't an problem but new rule made that before a game comes out officially devs need to ban accounts from those countries from connecting to the services of the game and for PlayStation there is stricter rules that to release on Apple Store. Because omagat save the kids. Local kids are momo, fatima, erkan, adja and ivan (he is refugee from Ukraine)

You can create an account from other country but why would I create a new account ?

So Sony wouldn't update their services and infrastructure and use infrastructure from 2001 despite the massive hacks it had and waste 300 millions on game it throw away in one week.

But games without even loot boxes being banned just because they didn't wanted to deal with paperwork is hilarious
