To all people who quoted me (To lazy and don't have enough time to go through each quote)
When I first said speical treatment I merely ment the fanboys who believe the users of PS3 shouldn't get angry at sony at all since they were hack. Now, I do feel bad that sony got hack but you sort of lose that sorryiness when you lost all your user's information. I know companies get hack all the time but this big? Come on that a bit hard to believe in my opinion.
Not too long ago Amazon.com was hacked in similar fashion. It was a pretty big story, though I can't find a proper article atm to see what happened. The fact that Sony's security was hacked, well, no one should be angry at that. Nothing is hack proof, and if a group or a really determined hacker wants to, they can continue trying until they get the desired result. If there is something that Sony DID do wrong here is lie to us saying it was just "outage, chill, we'll be back by monday" and then tell us what really happened some days later.
I completely agree in that respect. Sony fucked up with customer notification. But to say "Sony's security is shit" is a little retarded, no one knows how long these people might have been at this. Think about it, the PS3 has been out for several years and only now in the past few months has it been cracked open. That's pretty damn decent security if you ask me.
I'm not saying we should be mad at that they got hack. I say we should be mad that if they had their user info just as plain text with nothing else to block access to it, then thats what the PS users should be mad at. If I put my trust into a company and they do little to protect my info then I should have the right to be angry that they didn't at least put up a better block on this stuff.
Also when I ment if this happen to xbox, their just seem to be a lot more hate on MS then Sony in my opinion around here. Which I get annoyed that I can't simply go to a forum to look up information about stuff without seeing comment after comment how about one system is better then the other. Or just elitelist in general. (Looking at you PC users.)
PC elitists understandably have a bone to pick with consoles. PC was always the main development platform ever since Commodore 64 and such. So suddenly when this generation came around, they weren't the favorites anymore. Instead of getting a proper version of say, Gears of War, they got the same game, no improvements, nothing to work with modding wise, controls were mapped horribly and there was no support for the many bugs that plagued it. Now, of course Gears of War is probably one of the worst PC ports ever made.. but it's an on going trend. Hardly anything is really MADE FOR PC anymore. It's not how it used to be, this is why they're mad.[/quote]
True, but then again most games in my opinion won't work with PC type gaming. I also on a type of Dawn of War 2 forum and when they release that they were going to do a 3rd person hack/slash game for the console people flip out on them and sign a petition for PC port. To me this is a bit childish as the company (Relic) is trying to expand its user fan base by going to console for this type of game. They are amazing (in my opinion) RTS makers and this is probably their first game for console (Beside The Outfit which was a ok/meh game). Though I do see that they get the short end of the stick at times with ports but at the same time I don't belive they should be push into making a PC port if they choose not to at the start.
But what I was mostly talk about is the fanboys who will aruge about which console is better and will not listen to any other side but their own. This is what annoyes me that I get downgraded by some random person on the internet due to what console I own. There no need for that and is mostly pointless.
I am a bit worried of the future of gaming. I don't think the entire gaming world would dissapper due to Sony (PS3 at least) going under but what would happen to the gaming companies who work with just PS3? Who would filled the void of Sony? Time will only tell and I'm sure PS3 would somehow come out of this but I firmly believe if they do they will get have gotten hit hard and probalby wont have many excluises as they are use to or will make their users pay for online like xbox.
It's reasonable to believe that the PS3 will be hit hard in terms of PR, future sales, and it'll be tough for them to get some people back. But something like this won't effect the amount of exclusives or making paid online subscriptions mandatory. They'd probably actually be sued worse than this if they did try to make Playstation Plus mandatory since it'd be false advertising.[/quote]
I do not know what holds for the PS3 though I don't see anything good to come from it. They will have to do something to make up for the loss. If they don't have good PR or have poor sales then how else will they make up the money? They will also probably have to upgrade their secerity to make people who do stay with them happy and make sure they don't get hack this badly again. Though if you can think if they can do something to make it up for the loss from getting sue and losing sales then please share.
