I'm personally worried about Sony pulling the plug at some point. I tend to play quite old games at times, and I'd hate a game I've paid for to not be available anymore because a company added an unnecessary account requirement. Yes, I kind of think in the long term...

So how does that actually work?

Is the PSN requirement blocked in Europe per a law - is that the reason why some countries you cant get Playstation games on PC because of the requirement?

The EU isn't blocking Sony from adding a PSN requirement. If that was something remotely close to the truth, Ubi wouldn't be allowed to do the same with UbiConnect or Rockstar with their Social whatever crap.

The reason PSN isn't worldwide, including some territories in Europe, is that Sony doesn't sell their consoles there and Sony only supports PSN in countries where they've launched their consoles. Sony may have launched some of their games on PC, but they still make their decisions based on their console business.

It's as simple and dumb as that.
