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

    It sounds like Sony really doesn’t want customers at all any more.

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

      I’ve always thought that moving to the internet was the worst thing to happen to consoles. Now they have all the downsides of PC gaming, with all the downsides of console gaming.

      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.

    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.

      Yes, according to the article. Also if what is written is true, I don’t find it unreasonable.

      Even if one does not agree with Sony’s new policy, taking it out on their support is not OK.

        I they don’t want it taken out on their support, then they need to make the decision makers available to receive the rightful backlash as they should have in the first place.

        Regardless of right or wrong, angry people are going to take it out on the people closest to the source of the anger they can get to.

    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.

    I honestly cannot believe that despite Microsoft’s fuckups with XBox that instead it’s PlayStation losing the Console War harder.

    They’re saying this because they know they can wipe their asses with customer complaints since those same customers will happily buy a ps5 if it meant playing gta6 at launch.

    And they’re probably right.

    But I’m doing my part by not buying gta 6 until pc release and it’s on sale.

      That’s how it should be done. Everyone should do their part and perma exclude Sony. Everyone should tell friends and family not to adquire anything Sony branded
