LOL, what? The people that were upset with Sony are the people that didn’t want to link their accounts or worse, lived in a country that did not even have a PSN. Imagine that. Imagine buying a game and then a month later, a notice says that to continue playing, you need to link your account. You go to link it and it says, “sorry, that service is not available in your country.” That’s just a massive middle finger and most certainly illegal in most of the countries Sony did this in.
The fundamental problem is developers and publishers have too much legal control. They can ban players without reason. They can make changes without answering to anything more than “bad reviews.” The fact they can even make changes like this retroactively shows that digital rights are in the dark ages; favouring only big business, never the player.
