God, why do all these analysts sound like corporate mouthpieces these days? If they knew about the reactions before, why did they have to lie about the reason for their move? If they aren't afraid, why did they not tell developers?
@shinobi602@mrpyo1 No, but they can hit them for anti-trust for not having other purchase options.
Sony previously only dodged anti-trust when they removed 3rd party game codes from places like Amazon *because* they had physical games.
Sony either keeps making physicals, or they get anti-trust.
@benoski73 Wrong.
Sony already got hit previously when that took the game codes off 3rd party platforms, and the only thing that saved them from anti-trust was the existence of physical games.
The commissioner is clearly incorrect, which is honestly par for the course for the EU.
@xMBGx 1. They need a whole new suite of executives.
2. They need to dump their California studios, if not purge the far left ideologues from them.
3. I would recommend they bundle Crunchyroll into PS+ Premium.
.@Sony: "I've got an idea! Let's try to trap our user base in a single digital storefront so they can't buy/sell used games anymore!"
The Last Brain Cell at Sony: "But that would severely anger our biggest supporters, the ones who spread word of mouth and praise us?"
Sony:
@GiveMeBanHammer Nintendo has those fake game cartridges.
They shot themselves, too, but they didn't die. Now they're a vegetable hoping you don't notice the rapidly declining mental faculties.
