Here are a few of my (random) thoughts on the matter:
1. The PSN troubleshooting guide (it comes up as a suggestion when you can't connect) doesnt cover the possibility of a DDOS attack despite that fact that that it probably one of the most likely causes of not being able to get online. This page should be dynamic and should check online first to see if there is a DDOS in progress and tell the user to wait instead of giving them hope with a list of things to do that won't work. This would work due to the fact the web browser works even when PSN is being attacked.
2. PSN have given an amazing amount of value with Playstation Plus, not many people are really upset about the progression on making payment mandoatory for online play. Claiming lack of value in any form of PSN is a rubbish argument.
3. Online dependent games that don't need to be online for everything should not make it mandtory. Destiny springs to mind, chests in Unity and so on. If you were to fight, fight for that.
4. If you want to also fight, fight agains games not working on day one.
5. On Neogaf I would like to think that we are all here because we love games, you attack our abillity to play and you attack us. I want this industry to grow, i'm excited when it does and this doesnt help that.
6. For me Chirstmas is for family. Over this period I have seen some the true colours of the kids who have thrown tantrums over this and some lessonsheed to be learnt from this.
7. But, its not thanks to Lizard squad, they have pathetic/non existiant motivations. Infact I think they did have motivation its just that they now know that their motivations were so stupid that some members are now claiming not to have any due to now realising how supid they are.
