You probably won't be there and miss them because you're too busy finding articles with anything bad about the ps3.

Go back 10 or so years

If you let it bother you then it would appear worse than it actually is. Two of the biggest stories are about Call of Duty. Something the N4G community seems to try and bash. How ironic is that? A popular franchise gets treated poorly and the community supports this negativity. Sony struggles with the Vita and are not financially sound so any negative articles pertaining to Sony get chastised by the community who seem to be walking on eggshells. Here we have a small article that is only relevant to a very low ratio of users and once again we have the attitude of why keep picking on Sony.

Negativity sells. That's all there is to it. Be it about the Wii U, about parents killing their child over being interrupted while playing games or a Sony employee trolling Miiverse. To think this is immune to just Sony is just adding more fuel to the fire.

I own a PS3 but I never feel like I need to defend every article that has a negative tone towards Sony. Why is that?

"I imagine the day when PS fans get good news and just enjoy it."

What you should be saying is no matter how good or bad the news is today I will enjoy my PS products and that I don't need to lower myself to their level by making it appear as though it bothers me. Furthermore there is no need in flamebaiting and trolling articles while neglecting to actually talk about the story.

You have the power to ignore any and all such articles. I personally don't see the commotion. Hardly anybody would be using Linux in the first place trying to access the Playstation store. It's up to Sony to explain why this is, so why defend them until then?

Not to mention that they're government agencies buying in bulk for a purpose, a purpose outside of gaming. It's not like they're going to retail stores and buying them.

Retail units have one firmware.
Demo units in stores have a different firmware.
Do you think government clusters don't have their own firmware?

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
