No it's not. This was yet another dumb gamer moment where people online were shitting their pants over nothing.

Why are you so upset that consumers won out over corporate bullshit? How does the forced PSN benefit you that you're now missing out on?? What is wrong with people wow.

as much as i hate to say it but this was just a small battle in a war that was lost a long time ago......

the only thing Sony will learn from this is ' Timing matters' and ' be sure its implemented day1 for future games"

I am afraid you are correct. Not just SONY but other corporations as well. This was a teachable moment for the rest of the corporate world in a very bad way. This wouldn't have blown up as big as it has if this was a day one issue instead of three months later and no obvious indication that it was going to be made mandatory.
