Pay No Attention to "Anonymous"

See I cheer on Anonymous, mostly because they are shaking the corporate and government ladders. As the Joker said in Dark Knight... "Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I’m an agent of chaos. Oh and you know the thing about chaos, it’s fair."

It's not "fair" when it ruins the fun for the bystander who just wants to be left in peace.

Choas is rolling a pair of dice.  Order is rolling a pair of loaded dice.  The later is only going to seem "fair" if you own the dice, and I assure you that you do not.  Sony has done as much or more to ruin the fun of the innocent bystander as Anonymous has.  PSN was innaccessible for a couple days, rootkits posed a threat for months and would have continued to for years or decades if they weren't caught.

Sony is not trying to control you and your mind. The gaming industry has been the same it's always been. I buy my console, I BUY your games, I play my games, My game gets lost/stolen/broken I buy a new one, that's how it's always been and you know what? That's always seemed fair,  I don't see what Sony is doing that's so radically different to the model that was around in the SNES days when I started gaming. Everything was fine and dandy until people came out of the woodworks to ruin MY fun.

I'm glad I don't play MW2 because the hacks would have killed the game for me. I'm glad Sony stepped up their attempts to defend their business because who knows how long it would have taken before the hacks began to affect games I play? or some random tried to steal my card details.

I don't get this bullshit arguement of people saying they don't support the way Sony does business but are quite happy to buy PS3s, that makes no sense.

I also don't understand the desire to go up in arms when Sony is protecting their own investment, if I create something and someone tries to ruin it, I'm gonna do whatever I can to defend it from hell to high waters, I'll refuse to throw my hands up in the air and say "ah, ya got me!" It shouldn't work like that, people are quick to scream freedom of speech but the trick is, it works both fucking ways. Hackers act upon their "right" to attack, Sony acted up their "right" to defend. Only thing I don't get is why few seem to see this simple logic.

Regards to Anonymous: Fuck them! In no way shape or form are they fighting for me and my wants, my want is to have things simple, my console free and smooth and untempered with when I want to play my games how I want when I want. But low and behold, psn is unstable and I can't play my games how I want when I want so exactly how are their actions helping me? If things had stayed the way they were, I would be happy. I would buy my console, buy my game, play my game and that's the end of that. I've been buying games for Sony consoles, at no time did I feel I didn't own said game. Sony is not trying to rob me blind because there is nothing about the relationship and understand I have as a consumer of a business with regard to their product that is one sided.

Sony made the ps3

I wanted the ps3 but I had to pay an asking price for it

I thought the asking price was too much but instead of stealing it, I opted to wait for a price cut

When the price was what I could afford, I bought it and utilised it for what it was intended i.e playing ps3 games, not bloody emulated snes games or any other bullshit "benefits" of OtherOS, the exact same can be said for every game I've bought since.

The reason why all this pisses me off is because ultimately I'm the one and others like me who played by the original rules who get screwed over.

The obvious response is going to be "well, after all this, Sony is gonna try to impose strict rules on this that or the other and it's going to hamper your fun etc etc."

My arguement is, if everyone had played by the originally agreed rules before hand, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place. When you bought a ps3 originally, you knew what was required of you and what you required from Sony. If certain individuals hadn't breached that understanding, functions would not have been taken away.

I know someone is going to say "what about the ps2BC?"

I reply by saying

A: Why didn't you buy that before it was taken away?

B: If you knew it had been removed and it was the make or break feature of the console, why did you still buy it regardless?

C: Since the system was hacked, exactly how is that ps2 emulation coming along?

D: move along with the fucking times, we are no longer in 2006 anymore where the ps3 had no games.

In summary: Sony hasn't ruined my fun, if anything, they've imporved on it. There's a reason I've stuck with them since the psOne era it's because I know exactly what I'm getting from them and that has not changed since then. The only reason that will now change is because someone (hint: not Sony) did not read the script.

Yes, you buy your console and you are free to do with it as you wish, but the moment it starts to fuck with me and my enjoyment of my games is the moment I start to question your eligibility to freedom.
