My opinion on this PSN downtime and what I've realized during it.

Hey guys.

Now, during this PSN downtime I've come to realise something, people are too reliant upon gaming and multiplayer in general, you shouldn't have to jump on a game and talk to people on it to socialise, you should be outside enjoying the nice day you might have (That is assuming it's not cold) and be enjoying kicking a ball around with mates and just having an all around good time, instead of raging online because your getting killed by a camper sitting in a corner with a shotgun or some other miscellaneous reason.

People are becoming obese because gaming and the internet in general to them is their way of socialising, I'll admit I love gaming myself, but I realise that there are boundaries you should put ahead for yourself and your well-being if you want to actually not grow diabetic and have health issues.

People just need to realise that if they continue the lifestyle they might have, they're going to grow full of health issues and not be able to enjoy their life in the future, I'm sure anyone wouldn't want to turn out obese with diabetes and issues with they're spine and legs.

Simply put, if your reliant on gaming and the internet too much, you should take realisation to that, I myself have just recently lost 25 Kilos and I gained that weight due to gaming and barely getting exercise, since I've lost that weight I've still been able to maintain a healthy lifestyle while gaming and enjoying online play.

Anyway, that's enough on the topic of society, now, let's move on to this PSN downtime.

People are complaining that the PSN downtime is too long, they want to get back online to gaming, but you must realise a few things.

For starters, if a hacker has actually entered PSN and it's database, they could just as easily hack your account and use your credit card to buy games with or possibly even obtain your credit card info in full.

The reason PSN is down is because they realise by keeping it up all that could of happened, but Sony prevented it from happening, and if it's down for a longer period of time then so be it, they have to remove that entrance hackers got into PSN from in the first place so online gaming can resume at it's normal state.

Now the next question is, should we be compensated?

I say no, the reason being is, compensation isn't needed for any reason, like I've said, PSN is down to prevent hackers from obtaining your information, they're only protecting you as a consumer.

Anyway, this simply ends my blog, if you liked it comment and debate freely.

Thanks for reading!
Zeksta.

It's all about lifestyle, some people game way to much and forget about excersising others have a balance. I for example play games for 2-5 hours daily (altough some cases a lot more) and yet I still have time to do exercise with the possible minimum 90 minutes per day. Gaming and excersise are two things that seem to contradict each other but they are both similar in the fact that they both always have a goal reach and you have to work for it.

In the PSN downtime issue I completetly agree with you, if Sony is only protecting us from our money being stolen; then why should they give us money?

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
