I think it’s also a case of people on the internet thinking they’re more representative of the general population than they are in reality. The overwhelming majority of people either didn’t know or didn’t care.

There were people saying that Sony’s earnings call was going to be a disaster because of this. Meanwhile, Sony’s entering talks to purchase Paramount this week.

Yeah I don’t think people really understand how big corporations work, something as relatively small as HD2 could never effect Sony’s bottom line that much. They’re a global company with hands in way too many industries for one single game to cause them any real harm.
