    Sony is really anti consumer. I went to buy one of their PC games the other day, but it is not available in the country I am presently in right now along with a few other developing counties when I looked into it. So if you want the title, your only option is Torrent it and such which I am sure is common here.

      Sony is really anti consumer.

      Throwback to when Sony intentionally packaged literal rootkits on their music CDs, so anyone who used the CD to play music had the rootkit automatically installed. And then when they were forced to make a rootkit remover, they simply installed more malware to hide any file names that matched the rootkit’s name. Which introduced an easy way for hackers to hide their own malware, by simply naming it the same as the rootkit.

        Right. I forgot about that. What a despicable company. It is almost like to be successful, you have to play dirty but I am not so sure it is Sony’s fault per se as if they don’t their competitors will, which will always ensure the dirty players win. It is a systemic failure of society that we have allowed unchecked Capitalism which ironically will eventually suck the oxygen out of the room to even its own detriment.
