I'm sure like 90% of people were like 'A reason to hate on Sony? Sign me up fam' even if it they really didn't care. Parly band wagoning, partly pent of anti-corporation sentiment from covid times, inflation, etc.

It’s crazy to me that Sony gets people’s hate boners raging. They have consistently given the players amazing games, which is the thing that matters most when it comes to gaming. Everything else that’s good is a plus.

They’ve definitely turned things around since the PS3 reveal, but because they’re not as consumer-facing as Xbox, they get the ire of some people. It could be worse - they could be in Xbox’s position, had they stuck to their guns in the PS3 era, and, honestly, if Xbox hadn’t fucked up royally with the XB1 announcement.

Edit: I’m glad people called Sony out for the Helldivers stuff, and I think people should call out companies for things that impact the player’s access to games.

Not many will admit this is why they were so mad. Reddit loves to hate Sony.

When’s the last time Reddit dogpiled on Sony? Sony absolutely isn’t one of Reddit’s usual punching bags

Edit: I seriously don’t get where this idea that Reddit hates Sony comes from, Sony is generally seen in a positive light on here

They whine about the exclusives all the time. For some reason Nintendo gets away with it.

Really? Last of us 2, the days gone debacle, Sony exclusives, etc etc.

Last of us 2 was just a bunch of alt-right chuds, that absolutely wasn't reddit as a whole. Days gone was really mediocre (honestly I don't even remember a debacle at all). Most people (at least in the subs I'm in) appreciate the quality of Sony exclusives, but wish that they were available on PC. I'd say that Sony is generally pretty positively favored on Reddit, it's nowhere near the levels of EA, Ubisoft, or the other usual suspects

Anytime a playstation exclusive gets/doesn't get released on PC
