PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why
-
It worked the other way for me, seeing it locked me out because I am not agreeing to that

Isn't it linear story based though? I prefer open ended, been playing a lot of bannerlord recently

DOSE, dept of Sony efficiency

I was born early 90s and always had a bike, so kids not use them anymore, or is it a regional thing?
-
As bad as the customers I deal with are I am so glad we only work with real companies. The smallest are a few hundred staff. At least 99% of the time they can be professional. The exception so far have been pretty funny though, shame I don't go on calls with them anymore tbh.

My first reason for going 4G was general distaste that all the wired providers leave me with. Awful pricing models where they charge less for 4 months then more for 20 and then loads indefinitely kinda thing and I just decided fuck that. I think there is a bit more competition for the 4G side of things too.

What I'm saying is that you have to look at the bigger picture. Not only Sony would be affected by that, back in 2011 when they were breached consumers were charged in the estimated tens of millions of dollars range. A figure that Sony only ended up having to repay about 15 million in settlement fees for after a solid year and a half.
Additionally, Sony still managed to go up in profit that year, despite the PR nightmare out of it. Going up from 1.2 billion after operating costs in 2010 to 1.4 billion after operational costs in 2011 and still made 1.1 billion in 2012 ( after the 172 million in damages was done)
I understand hating big business and their practices as much as the next guy, but I have a hard time getting a sense of satisfaction knowing that at the end of the day the company itself isn't going to be impacted by the hack and it's only going to fuck over the consumers.

Ouch. I'm only sorta old, instead full on old lol.

The difference is if steam goes down I might not be able to play a few games. If xbox (what is their service?) goes down you can't play any games.

-
Why trust a company that already charges people to play online after buying the console, and the game...
-
Better than every year or so no one can play the games they supposedly "bought" due to some technical hiccup than some percentage of people be able to more easily play our games without paying us. -some Sony/gaming industry stooge probably
In all seriousness, people need to stop being so willing to put up with this sort of easily foreseeable failing with the current way of doing digital goods. If I can't use it without the blessing of someone else it is not buying, it is borrowing, and that severely impacts the value proposition for me personally.
-
The thing I'm criticizing is that they make this other kind of server impossible, even though it would be exactly the kind of backup plan you'd want for a situation like this one.
-
GoG checking in with no arbitrary server requirements! Why reward companies for treating you badly?
When companies treat me like a sucker, I move on to companies that don't.
