"But wait, there's more!"™
Community leaders have called the users entitled and said it takes 120 seconds to set up a PSN account.
Completely disregarding regions that don't have PSN access.
"Use a VPN!" you say. If Sony detects VPN usage, your account gets banned. If they detect failed password login attempts, your account can get banned.
Allegedly some users are posting screencaps that Sony demans gov issued ID to create an account. Photoshop is a thing, I can't verify that. I didn't need to in the US.
But even better yet, is that someone high up at arrowhead was mentioning that this was to help "benefit from the Security of the PSN".
Allegedly PSN has had security problems. Recently.
Edit: Neither of these are PSN *specifically* but Sony networks have been getting popped by ransomware gangs recently.
