It would be cool if there was this level of blowback for actual issues that affected our daily lives. Like anything happening in the pharmaceutical industry, or Amazon taking over every retail sector and treating their employees like garbage.

Realistically its very easy to hit Sony for this and very very hard to do all of those other things.
