It's incredible that such a powerful entity as Sony can be attacked like this. In these capitalistic times, where corporations have such power, that they can have been sued to death and back over things they shouldn't go to jail for, I can't help but wonder...
These hackers seem to be out for blood, not to steal peoples money!? They don't seem to be thieves, but have political motives, and are basically stabbing at the collective bee hive potato couch people, "telling them" to stop dealing with a company like Sony for what they do to the little man.
When we will look back at the legacy of PS3, I think we will look back at it with a facepalm, because from E3 2006 to now, it's been one long battle uphill. And while the two other mastodons share their bowl of the ignorance too, I think we really have to conclude Sony as the winner. They had most too loose coming from their PS2 power success to this.
I read on another forum, that there might be an attack on SOE? But that might be a good thing - Besides people losing their jobs, SOE has to be one of the bottom of the barrel people scrapers, of treating people like dirt. From Everquest to SWG, from NGE to Vanguard, their practice against the community has been... Not good to put it mildly. I really hold no love for SOE.
I want all their employees(outside of John Smedley) to find new positions elsewhere, but I really can't stand their way of doing business. Planetside Next is like... It's like it's just pissing me in the face because it exists.
