PlayStation Store taken down in Korea in compliance with new law
In response, Sony is taking down the PlayStation Store in that region, pending compliance with the law. Sony hopes to resume PSN service sometime this year. Online multiplayer will continue to be available through PSN, and the PlayStation Store will remain open for PSP and PS Vita users.
This decision seems to have been a sudden one for Sony – it announced a sale on 2K games through PSN the same day, just before announcing the closure of the store.

Boston-Bruins I'm suprised they even let people play video games there
Haha you've got a point there. It seems like they would only allow them to play video games that idolize Kim Jong Un.

Any It's because the government controls Korea and the people living there. Communism. I'm not a HUGE redneck who doesnt know what the hell communism is.. But it is going to start a riot within the country eventually.
That's North Korea, and they don't even know what's going on outside of their country. THEIR government tells THEM they are doing perfectly fine, better than every other country.
This is stupid imo and people have to stop censoring and blocking sh*t related to the internet or anything digital. Honestly, why can't we just play games and if we really need to, have our own voice. The gaming industry has blown up so much in the last decade and a half that their are laws that come into play and affect someone's gaming experience. I mean there's nothing I can say, it's Korea, I'm just glad it's not a bunch of countries. Sony is going to lose sales, but hey, Koreans are good at like every game so it's all good.
