Furthermore i am not defending the removal nor promoting it... People were saying it was removed with out user consent which is not true, and that it was removed because no one used it which is also untrue... Sure sony could have left the other Os feature enabled and disabled online gaming, but they could not of directly affected what people could do with the other os feature. Still not saying it was the right choice as i didnt get to enjoy the other os feature but had planned on using it, and did think about agreeing to its removal before installing the update. |
Sure, the removal was optional, but how did one's online capability go if you refused to remove it? That's like saying you have the option to get your teeth smashed in with a hammer, or your fingernails pulled out with pliers. you still have a choice, right?
The other thing they could have done (like any other company does when they find a security vulnerability) is FIX IT, not just remove support altogether. Their reasoning stems from the fact that they'd have to invest in a feature that was giving them no forseeable return, and used the hacking news as a legitimate reason to drop support.
