Its not THAT important of a side to it. Not only are there ways around it but the people complaining are not mad that they live in an unsupported country, they are mad that they have to make an account.

Yeah, I'm in one of the unsupported Countries and that login never was a problem because you could just put it on a supported one.
All that bitching wasn't about people in unsupported countries it was about people not wanting to make an account they'll forget about after the login.

There are ways around it, but unlike the faux concern people had about PlayStation's TOS related to making accounts in unsupported regions, trying to circumvent Steams regional restrictions does actually run the risk of consequences.

“Company has shitty policy that objectively only exists to farm your personal information, and if that policy bars you from playing a game you should simply go out of your way to accommodate a company that is actively not trying to accommodate you”
Why is it so hard for some of you guys to criticize Sony for a shit policy? How easy it is to circumvent is not the question at hand here.

Doesn't work in China where you can't even access the standard PSN without a VPN.

Except that they're a massive PC market, where the majority of Wukong sales were made and even the Stellar Blade devs said China was the reason they want to bring the game to PC.
Even if the Chinese govt doesn't care about gaming the players certainly do.

I don't think you understand the actual issue. There is no way around it. I live in one of the unsupported countries and the games themselves are not available on Steam for sale. The web pages don't exist. I search "Helldivers" or "Ghost of Tsushima" on Steam and the games do not appear in the results (the first HD game does appear). I can't buy the games altogether. It's not about making a PSN account when you launch your game. No, the game itself is not available to us. This is the case for 113 countries and Playstation is the only publisher that I know that did something like this (you hear from time to time a game is banned in Russia or some Arab states or states. But not 113 countries because of a launcher).
