I'm not watching the video, but I'm reasonably confident devastating is a bit of an overreaction. It's the end of an era sure and probably a vast scaling back of their business, but devastating? Nah.

    Easing theft from the consumer, murdering the secondhand market and specialised retailers, breaking the trust of partners. Oh yeah, all minor, petty inconveniences. /s

    Honestly, yes. I don't know anyone else who cares about this. In my circle, I am entirely alone in my frustration. Which bodes poorly for any protests we might mount.

    Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as you. Somehow nobody cares when companies steal from them, but I pick up a mantle ornament and there's suddenly a problem...

    It's tripled my desire and rate of piracy, so there's that. You can only control yourself, after all. But making piracy easier for others as a backhanded dig at Sony would make your point equally well. That's where I'm at. Seed and guide your people's selfishness.

    Pretty much what I'm doing too. You can't save those who are too stupid to realise their heads are being shoved under the water, so help those who have the bare minimum of neurons bouncing around to reach out for help.

    Assuming, for a second, I don't have a PC, I shouldn't care that basic consumer rights are being eroded from under us? If I have a PC, I should automatically not care about physical media being killed off, including music, film and TV? Piss-poor take, my friend. Look beyond the tip of your nose.

    Any other canned responses you want to spew? Any other non-solutions your corpo buddies fed you you'd like to regurgitate? Any other assumptions you want to throw down based on nothing?

    Corpo buddies? I'm not the one whining about not being able to have a PlayStation, get a grip champ. Consoles have been an over priced shit show for like 2 decades now.

    That guy seems pretty flakey anyway, not like his old man, that guy was all about dropping plagues on people and making them murder their children. Jesus was all "wah wah stop being mean". There is no way the Sony execs care what a guy like that says or does.
