Now let's see how reddit is taking it!
/r/games thread: honestly nothing too interesting, just sblot of seething "Oh, I guess someone needs new shoes," or "No guys, xbox is going to raise in price too."
/r/playstation thread: Least commented thread, but "I was always a playstation-boy" is such a weird line.
/r/ps5 thread: Easily the largest thread. Cries of 'xd socialism xd' and people who are actually mad fill the thread. Of course there's a little rubbing the salt in the wound from Xbox fans, even the bing bing wahoo fans make an appearance. Just remember this is "absolutely disgusting behavior."
Keep in mind, this is a recent development and will almost certainly be blowing up even more in the next few hours, so I'm sure more threads will pop up and people find out.
Even ResetEra is seething, and dont forget to check the comments on the Playstation blog link above.
