Censorship on an increasing number of games
Hesitant of crossplay
Controlling indie developers
Purposely locking the built in PS2 emulator in the console behind a pay wall.
Controlling some Japanese retail release dates in the west.
Removing digital codes from offline and online retailers.
Rejecting features from other companies which would be good for gamers.
Throwing Vita owners under the bus, most of them, 1.5 years after release
Complacentcy
Not helping release original games unless they take control of the IP in many cases.
Ignoring for 5 years of constant complaints from their loyal customers to improve thumbstick durability.
Dismissive PSN customer service.
And there's more I haven't even listed.
Since 2016 specifically, Sony's been nose diving into anti-consumer practices and pissing off many of their loyal fans. Such policies are in many cases petty, and they can help the competition in the future such as the newly announcef Stadia.
The question is why?
What happened the last 3-4 years at Sony to cause them to go down this route?
Is arrogant Sony back?
Is Sony getting over complacent?
Has the new leadership hired a bunch of fools?
Is there inner turmoil inside the company?
It just seems so odd that Sony started the gen right and now seems to want to compete with old DRM Microsoft.
As a PlayStation buyer for over 20 years it brings a tear to my eye that they would do a complete 180 out nowhere, for no reason, and turning into anti-consumer jerks
