Banned

Imagine a video game being akin to cocaine, legally.

I use a US account, otherwise I wouldn't be shagging all the women in The Witcher 3 Most people around here actually do and you find US and UK PSN gift cards everywhere, so it's not a problem. Most have two accounts for that matter, or even Japanese ones or take advantage of some free PS Plus games exclusive to some markets like lately some game in the Malaysian PSN.
