I wish it was this dramatic, I wonder if Sony executives are even aware of what's happening. I certainly hope they feel the pressure.

Edit:

Fight for what matters to you, even if it isn't this. If we dont show and use our teeth, we will be trampled over by these giants.

I don't think they're going to be able to put the cat back in the bag, which means they're gonna have to learn to live with the cat this time and stop pissing it the fuck off.

I think the obvious move from the industry will be to make every game require constant internet connection, maybe even keep some code only serverside.

Let them dig their own grave. The more anti-consumer they are, the more appealing indie titles become. IMO, it has never been easier to walk away from these AAA companies.

THIS is their problem, right there. There are just too many viable options for us consumers to have to deal with SONY being anti-consumer (Steam/PC gaming is the best viable option, imho).
