Well, I don't play online on consoles. I basically only have a PS4 for the 1st party single player games. All my online gaming history have been on PC since the early 2000s, and VPN is essential if your region gets cockblocked or the servers get shut down. (Lineage 1 was another game I liked but their servers were shut down in america due to low popularity, and I have played it via VPN for quite some time).

Out of interest, have you ever actually tried using foreign servers before or do you always use a VPN first?

It still seems strange to me that you say games are unavailable because your local servers are shut down. Yet I've played games on US, European and Japanese servers in both the UK and Japan without issue (well, maybe a bit more lag but that's all).

It depends on whether the service is region exclusive or not. Black Desert was another example, it had North America only servers when it came to west, anybody but NA players can acccess it. Latin American/EU/ASIAN players were unable to play it legally (only via VPN).
