Looks like Arrowhead might be moving forward with PSN despite "internal discussions".

The accounts are so important that you're willing to lose sales in that many countries?!

While 177 countries sounds like a lot, it's not where the majority of players are. PSN operates in the top 15 countries by GDP and the top 4 by population.

Of course there's still the question of why they work in so few countries when literally none of their competitors (that I know of) have those limitations.

PSN (PlayStation Network) is available in 73 countries.

It was PSNow (PlayStation Now, their game steaming service) that was only in 19 countries. PSNow was merged into PlayStation Plus as the Premium level package, and is in 30 or so countries.

Strange then that they are now only listed in 18 countries.

That is definitely strange, but might be an overreaction by Valve and not done by Arrowhead.
