Floatplane exclusive, a video about building a new streaming pc for The Drum Thing stream.
It played for 1 week in 1 cinema in my entire country.. :(
That is definitely strange, but might be an overreaction by Valve and not done by Arrowhead.

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.

Kinda handy during first time setup though. Can easily be 30 system apps updating, plus all the shit you might be grabbing from previous installs.
Creds for leaving it up though.

It was just not on the normal non-pro models. iPhone 15 non-pro got it though.
They have actually introduced AOD, but only from the iPhone 15.
