Sony was never the good guy. None of them are. I’m not sure where this idea that executives and CEOs are on our side just because they tweeted some bullshit that sounded good without details.
The gaming industry is so off the charts right now and rife with corporate corruption that it needs to be regulated PROPERLY by a DEDICATED government entity. It’s a hurt market and is mostly left to the wolves.
That said, Sony has a long track record of being stupid.
Idk I remember a time when Sony was the least bad guy. Back when ps3 came out, you didn’t need a subscription for online play, and you could actually browse the web (poorly, but, somebody tried. I remember when my laptop shit the bed and I used my ps3 to submit an assignment on blackboard in 2008). I thought that was pretty cool. Not that Sony was good; the profit motive was there, and the second they saw Xbox requiring a subscription for online play, you best believe they built plus overnight. But, there was a time when good people got good ideas snuck past bad company management I guess.

Not just gaming. All industries.
It’s capitalism. Capitalism is institutionalized greed. These greedy cunts think they’re just being, “good businessmen”.

Sony included literal viruses with their music CDs in the 90s that exploited your computer when you inserted the disk to disable burning CDs.
Sony got caught putting rootkits in music CDs. They are scum. Always have been.
