Problem is that the security was completely breached and everything was left wide open to hackers and exploiters. It didn't simply "crash"--they've been taken offline.

velocitygamer5420d ago (Edited 5420d ago )

True that^^

I don't understand why people are getting so angry at Sony. There are tons of other single player games you can play, if not, then go outside and get some fresh air. Most people who are raging at sony are cod fanboys who can't play Black ops.

Acquiescence5420d ago

I'm not even that bothered by the outage on a personal level. But it's this hysteria from the media and gamers in general that's really starting to make me wish that the service would go back online sooner rather than later, just to shut them all up.

Simco8765420d ago

Hey they have to get to that 15th prestige you know? Then they do it all over again this fall with a shittier version of the game.

LORD-PHOENIX5420d ago

now to clock mgs4....MP games literally killed my SP playing

Myst5420d ago

I agree I've been outside (As much as possible but I'm in line with one of those heavy storms sweeping across the states). So far though I've been playing a lot of SP games, jumped back into Demon's Souls almost done with Homefront single player.

I don't know for me it seems like I'm playing a lot more games with PSN down than I was when it was up.

People getting more Trophies than usual =D.

"I don't understand why people are getting so angry at Sony."

I think people are pissed because it takes 6 days to send this email:

Great email....six days late.

Thanks to hackers, Sony has encountered a horrible year so far.

Acquiescence5420d ago (Edited 5420d ago )

They've run their course. Why not wait until PSN is back online and Sony have released an official statement before reporting on this incident again. All this speculation is just incredibly tiresome.

DigitalAnalog5420d ago (Edited 5420d ago )

Just wondering.

-End statement

humbleopinion5420d ago (Edited 5420d ago )

Yeah, the boycott was a complete failure because Sony shut down their own stores and 1uped Anon.
Then Anon said that they won't stop until Geohot is found not guilty in coury, but the Sony masterminds quickly dropped all charges against Geohot with a genius counter maneuver.

And now Sony is proving to be one step ahead again: Anon can't attack servers that are already down. Brilliant! That really showed them, and Sony is triumphing once more.

taylork375420d ago (Edited 5420d ago )

PSN is down for 6 days and counting....Sony wins?

Come on.

humbleopinion5419d ago

@taylork37, I was being sarcastic.

taylork375419d ago

I guess my sarcastic meter was malfunction then lol.

I see it now though.

My fault.

news4geeks5420d ago

poor sony, everyone is getting mad at them... lulz

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein33d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator33d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow133d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.

Saudi Arabia Will Own 93 Percent Of Battlefield 6 Publisher EA

When the dust settles on the $55 billion leveraged buyout of Electronic Arts, Saudi Arabia will be its only true owner, despite a “consortium” of investors being involved in the deal. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will control 93 percent of the company, according to filings with Brazil’s antitrust regulator.

blacktiger85d ago

Technically speaking, Saudi Arabia and TENCENT can buy the entire USA. ANf Democrat and Republican will not do crap!

Inverno85d ago

Letting foreign entities own half of American businesses is liberal and very progressive. So is bringing in all that talent from outside the States to replace the talentless and lazy American workers. And here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope. We're supposed to worry bout them "radical Muslims" minding their own here and ignore China/Saudi/Israel taking over.

blacktiger85d ago

Another thing I hate hearing is "liberal and very progressive"
It's 2025 and that stuff is outdated. Everything and everyway is literally the same thing wheter it's progressive, conservativ. Because they all wants the same thing have, king unlimited oney buy everything including your house.

Now they making mainstream media news that it's AI Bubble justify to highjack the price of RAM.
Another excuse for inflation!

Tacoboto85d ago

"here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope"

Lol, you actually bought what he was selling? Let's see this week alone...

Yesterday he pardoned an international drug lord, while allowing the murder of random fishermen on boats. Remember drain the swamp? He pardoned a Democratic Congressman jailed for bribery just today, nevermind that fraudulent drag queen republican that was kicked out of Congress and imprisoned for their fraud. It's so petty they're picking fights on social media with pop stars while using their music, and even using Franklin the damn Turtle to cartoonify their murders.

thorstein84d ago

You believed him!?!!

I've got some Trump $5000 bills for you, only half off.

People I do not use /s to point out my sarcasm. Should be obvious I don't believe anything coming out of Trump's mouth or any politicians mouth.

its quite ridiculous that they were able to do that. or even allowed to.

but saudis even have their grabby hands in nintendo stocks.

maximusprime_84d ago

Looking on the bright side, the games may be patched to remove any ideologies that are incompatible for the majority of the world.

S2Killinit84d ago

What do you mean? You want censorship in games?
