Laughing Hazama

@liquidsoap89 Isn't it obvious the real reason they do it? They want to get people to buy it before turning it over to internet piracy. I don't fault poor people from downloading games like that or people who can't get it any other way or just want to try it before they buy it, but far too many never support the artists who make games like this.

@Kirkpad Very few people have just PSN anyway, the PS3 is kind of an unpopular console outside of the few die hard SONY fans, the ridiculous price of the thing killed it's launch and it was never able to really recover enough to get a competitive edge in the West with their console.

Plus there's that SONY went illegally kicking in people's doors for using Linux on their PS3 which it had previously been stated by SONY itself that they would be allowed to do.

Then there's the fact that after Anonymous hacked them and was nice enough to let them know about their security flaws, and SONY refused to take the problem seriously even after they had been hacked, which made them a tempting target for Black Hats.

Then they refused to accept responsibility for their negligence, hid the information from effected customers, and wrongly blamed Anonymous when Anonymous had simply pointed out the security flaws.

And the security issue isn't just a problem for gamers, it puts companies that use PSN at risk, if SONY won't take it's security flaws seriously enough to address them until after it's too late (even when given warning) why should any company take the risk of using PSN?

Just face it, the PSN service is tainted, and so is SONY's reputation.
