    Bye, Sony. I’ll be avoiding all of your products for the foreseeable future. Sony gaming just talked several other departments out their sales.

    PlayStation ended with PS3 because that was last console that have not required PlayStation Plus to play online.

      They also removed other OS functionality after consoles went live and units were already sold. Glad I never bought one; it pushed me into PC gaming.

    “No disc, no sale” or in the words of a wiser man: “Put the game in the box or piss off”.

    Just get a PC at that point if its digital.

    Ask a PC gamer to make it as much as a console experience for you as possible if that is what you need.

    They can do what they want, I’m not a member.

    AND I will NEVER be a member. Put THAT in your quarterly report. I’ve got a recommended filing location.

    And this is why I have no sympathy for game companies crying about emulation and piracy. Also there is NO reason to harass employees.

    Sony fully-embracing its enshittification arc.

    I have a lot of Sony gear; I’ve been really happy with the quality… but I’ll look elsewhere as they have been self-destructing as a company for a while now. I know their TVs are going to be crappier than they have been, because they stopped making them themselves. Probably the audio gear will be next.

      The first enshitification arc was them removing other OS functionality from consoles AFTER units had already been sold. It’s been a steady decline that is intensifying.

    Those “protests” are actually pathetic. And . Is it this feels like Stockholm syndrome to me. They’re threatening legal actions against people they actually fucked over? Lol

    The company also listed “forcing someone to prostrate themselves,”

    I have questions. Is this a bad translation as telling them to go fuck themselves?

    Sony threatens to pursue legal action?

    Legal action has already been pursued, against them. And threats like these suggest it isn’t going too well for them.
