Lmfao is sony the worst managed company in history yet? Its actually unbelievable how a megacorp has been producing absolutely nothing but shot for what, a decade now? Do the C-suits actively hate the company and want to destroy it, or do they have some sort of reverse-midas touch where everything they put their hands on turns into shit?
Is there a single department left at sony that produces something positive, or even turns a profit? Thats a serious question, y the way.
Also this move could get them assraped by yuropoor customer protection laws, i imagine. EULAs in general were struck down as illegal quite some time ago iirc, because theyre not part of the sales contract yet youre forced to agree to them afterwards to use your purchased product. This seems like basocally the same thing, altering the deal after it has been made and youve received your money. Maybe it just means you get to refund it, but i hope yuropean courts can dish out punitive damages for it.

Sony were ahead of the game with their mirrorless cameras, but Nikon and Canon have caught up. I'm too comfy with my canons anyway, I wouldn't want to swap to something not compatible with all my lenses. A lot of people are the same I think.
So yea I don't know anything good they make
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I didnt even think of their camera business, but thats another great example.
They were among the top in multiple businesses, the quintessential megacorp involved in everything, and actually being good at everything.
And then they just dropped the ball everywhere I guess, just making bad decision upon bad decision and falling behind the curve also in every business. Its just crazy how no "department" seems to have been able to escape the downfall. Playstation was their last holdout, but even the PS5 apparently isnt doing good market-wise. Just incredible. I think we will see the collapse and dissolution of sony within a decade, at most two, until the name is relegated to herstory books.

The Steam page has always said that linking is required. But the swede devs are so fricking r-slurred that it apparently wasn't functional at launch
Maybe this could be some kind of class action lawsuit if it could be argued no one would have bought it if a PSN account was required.
