Can you tell me first of all, how are you able to game? It's not a hypothetical. Is it because you, for instance, live in a free country? Now, how do you believe your country remains free? I'll give you a hint. Thomas Jefferson said it best when he said "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance". In other words, if you take your perks for granted, one day, you'll find them gone.
I like games too, but you need to understand, you cannot pardon a company for testing the bounds of liberty and personal property rights just because they entertain you. You need to praise them for the good and criticise the bad. If you don't that's when you're no longer a gamer, just a fanboy.
I'm a Nintendo fan, but I have plenty to say about their practises, too. Read my thread history. I've started two rants on their conduct referring to 3DS design. If Nintendo pulled something similar to Sony, I'd hit them just as hard.
We have a saying in my country. It's called "keeping the bastards honest". Now, you might look down at me at being somehow less of a gamer than you for bringing this up, but let me ask you, which one of us is REALLY doing the greater benefit towards the gaming community?
