The biggest issue is that the game was being sold in countries where people couldn't make an account in that country (and where making an account in a different region would be against the ToS and there's no customer support for these people). You can't sell a multiplayer only game in 177 countries that people aren't allowed to make a required account in, then not expect people not to be extremely upset.

In fact, it's insanity that Sony can sell consoles in all these countries without allowing them to make accounts when they literally require it for significant functionality. How is that okay?
