Sony went on to say that it takes a “firm stance” against such behavior, which includes examples like “persistent and repeated, or prolonged, demands, excessive or unreasonable demands for compensation or apologies, and abusive language, threats, slander, and other similar behaviors.”

Other examples included “forcing someone to prostrate themselves” and “visiting our offices or related facilities without permission.” If any such behavior is confirmed, Sony says it may “restrict or suspend customer service” to protect its employees — and, if necessary, contact “police, lawyers, etc.” to take legal action or begin criminal proceedings against them.

Can people just stop buying their fucking product now?

If you own a PS5, depending on your firmware you may be able to exploit it, enjoy your favorite titles, all while giving Sony the middle finger.

I finally broke down and bought a second hand PS5 last summer. My gaming rig was showing its age and I wanted to play Clair Obscur with decent graphics. I had been saving for a bit because I also wanted to play Spooder-Man 2 and Astro.

I made sure to buy the drive separately so that I could also play what limited Blu-rays I own.

Now I'm pissed they got my money for the games and drive add-on.

You can plug a DVD drive into the Steam Machine and it works.
