Probably the complexity of differing laws of each country.

Helldivers 2 on ps5 requires at least a paid psn membership. In order to do that, a payment needs to be on file.

This is just purely a guess, but I suppose Sony doesn’t have the appropriate licenses to operate in those countries and thus cannot take payment.

They could take payment via ps gift cards but that user would have have to fraudulently claim they are located in another country and buy ps gift cards from that country to get the credits.

Depending on country, user may pay more or less than what it would retail in user country.
