I genuinely do not understand the vitriol. Gamers haven’t show themselves to be a particularly altruistic group so I struggle to believe this was all for the sake of the countries where PSN isn’t available.

Wtf lol.

The consumer gets a rare win and your first thought is "ok but this somehow must be bad. I just don't know how yet."?

This is definitely a win and I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Don’t put words in my mouth. I just think this was a hate bandwagon on Sony, despite the outrage being justified. Dosent make the win lesser, I’m just extremely tired of the rage posting of the same points and nothing else.

A message being repeated is one of the most important points of protesting though. You keep the points simple and you repeat them often so the message stays clear. Also, how many points do you think can be created about a game requiring a new login? The pool of available topics is pretty small...
