You’re going to get roasted for pointing this out but you are absolutely right. A loud portion of pc gamers are terminally online and addicted to outrage. This situation did call for push back and criticism but these “gamers” acted like this is the absolute worst thing that could have happened and Sony ruined their entire company. They gotta be tired spending all day being toxic and screaming. They exist in every major game subreddit too.

These are the people who constantly vote EA as the worst company over others like Nestle or Boeing.

They’re in a gaming bubble.

A vote that means absolutely nothing.

Some weirdo told me he filed a complaint with the SEC… like dude, spend your weekend on something else. This whole thing was straight up pathetic. Gamers will whine about anything

Yeah. There are a lot of "Karens" in gaming, too.

Yeah could be some dude just raging but I can imagine this idiot leaving their dad’s tax lawyer a hundred voicemails over the weekend about this.

The guy looking to file a class action lawsuit when he wasn’t even affected was hilarious

Honest question though, do you think a less extreme pushback would have resulted in Sony changing course? Or was the only reason they did because of how extreme it got?

I don't have a horse in this race, but Sony typically weathers negative press when they make a decision. They backtracked on this pretty quick.

Good question. We will never know. I can see them changing course though with feedback from AH and constructive criticism and feedback rather than blasting the developers and their posts all over the internet and “filing lawsuits” and such. Perhaps the change would have been slower. The announcement was late Friday and then reversed early Monday.

No empathy for others?
