Sony went on to say that it takes a “firm stance” against such behavior, which includes examples like “persistent and repeated, or prolonged, demands, excessive or unreasonable demands for compensation or apologies, and abusive language, threats, slander, and other similar behaviors.”
Other examples included “forcing someone to prostrate themselves” and “visiting our offices or related facilities without permission.” If any such behavior is confirmed, Sony says it may “restrict or suspend customer service” to protect its employees — and, if necessary, contact “police, lawyers, etc.” to take legal action or begin criminal proceedings against them.
Easy Solution: Don’t buy anything from Sony! When the profit goes down sharholders get angry. And they can’t ignore them.
Do they even make good products anymore?
I mean besides PlayStation which they are trying to ruin 😅
I’ve lived with hardcore capital-G Gamers.
Simply not buying the game is never an option. May as well be trying to get smokers to boycott tobacco companies until they make their product cheaper. Good luck on holding out.
not buying means that other thing real homies do - one starts with P and the other with J
You never get everyone to boycott something. It just needs to be enough to make the investors get nervous.
Anything but walking back the physical disc decision
Anything but doing the right thing because money
Seems like at this point bringing back physical discs would be the money making decision
Long-term, yes, but you’re dealing with short term managers who DGAF about long-term issues, they’ll be long gone with their bonuses, leaving this shit for other people to resolve
Well, hell. Let’s all get banned by them so they have a real count of how many customers they are losing.
I’d say just stop buying that shit, but Americans have no self restraint at all. They pre-order digital fucking games to get a pair of cosmetic boots or some stupid shit.
Americans have no self restraint at all.
lol he thinks the stupidity is isolated to america.
bro, wake up. enshittification didn’t start there or end there.
At least we own our Steam games, wait a minute…
I mean, not with Valve’s blessing, but we kinda own them thanks to Goldberg and friends
Gotta love Mr. Goldberg.
I’m so glad I never gave any serious amount of money to Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo.
Someone please figure out Linux on ps5 native so I can dump their crappy OS
Requires you to not update. There is potential for firmware 13.6 right now if I remember once someone cracks it
Fuck I hate this shit. Loved my playstations and now its all ruined. I bought so many games on sale and used.
Someone there surely wants to see the company sink
Customers implement new spending policy cutting play station sales by 90%
Sony deserves worse for all the bullshit they pulled over the years.
I hope Asha Sharma walks back the plans for Project Helix being digital only, because that would be their #1 advantage next gen IMO
Inb4 Sony workers in meets a basement destiny branded fedora wearing Luigi.
Is it just me or is Godzilla having a stroke?
If I’m godzilla, then I got the short end of the stick.
Any open source consoles? lol
steam machine is the closest
Or the Steam Deck/all the handhelds that support Linux/SteamOS
My initial read of the headline was that Sony would now make it a policy to harass its customers that do not agree with the new plans…
Well, yes, but actually yes.
Same! I got to the third paragraph of the article before understanding they were not planning to harass their customers (or at least not in new ways…)
Isn’t that what they announced when deciding future titles won’t be on discs? I thought that was them plainly telling us, “we will be harassing the consumers of our products going forward”.
This is just the follow up where they’re saying “we won’t let you harass us back, because we are a big scary powerful corporation, and you are just a weak small individual.”
Nothing we can do about it, so long as the deathcult idiots support them.
If only we had our own FOSS only planet.
Me too. But also isn’t that what they have been doing these past months.
Has Sony just dared it’s entire customer base to take part in a forced boycott?
The equivalent of somebody getting themselves barred from a pub/bookies/casino because they know that they can’t do it on their own.
They say Microsoft and Xbox start to take a tumble and said to themselves “How badly can we fuck ourselves too?”
I’m in! As long as I don’t have to get rid of my psx, PSP, ps2, ps3, and ps4. I promise not to give them another dime, or use any of their shitty online services… Though to be honest I started boycotting them about the time the first Destiny expansion was launched.
