So is this really only opt-out? If yes, that's against the GDPR, which requires an active consent:

8 CONSENT OBTAINED UNDER DIRECTIVE 95/46/EC

168. For example, as the GDPR requires that a controller must be able to demonstrate that valid consent was obtained, all presumed consents of which no references are kept will automatically be below the consent standard of the GDPR and will need to be renewed. Likewise as the GDPR requires a “statement or a clear affirmative action”, all presumed consents that were based on a more implied form of action by the data subject (e.g. a pre-ticked opt-in box) will also not be apt to the GDPR standard of consent.

Well, a number of countries will be forced out, simply because PSN is not available there. Especially the philipinos seem so be quite upset.

PSN is available in 69 countries around the world. (Source: https://www.playstation.com/country-selector/index.html)

right now there are (roughly) 190 independent countries in the world.

The whole of Africa (except for SA; thanks to u/ItzOnza), Egypt and even european countries like Belarus don't have PSN.

The Baltics - states that are part of the european union - are also excluded.

These people can't create accounts.

Grindwalled ;)
