More like they saw the backlash building and quickly leveraged it to be the good guys. Sony is just as much a king of DRM / copyright protection as anyone, seeing as they have heavy hooks in bluray (Cinavia protection). |
I'm not entirely sure that what you are saying is any different than what I said. Yes everyone knew there would be a backlash over newer more strict DRM practices. They've proven it so many times now. The developers don't want that responsibility anymore because it hurts their brand image when they do that. That's why I think they all got together and said that it should be the platforms that enforce the DRMs. If Sony and Microsoft both enforce a DRM at the same time, the users would be forced to swallow it regardless of how pissed off they got.
I think Sony secretly stabbed all the third parties in the back at the last minute by not having DRM. That's why afterwards we had third parties coming forward saying that this whole thing came out of nowhere. Sony was supposed to have DRM too but they leveraged not having DRM to make them seem like the heroes of this generation.
So yea if you are saying that Sony was just as guilty as Microsoft in the DRM category, then we are in agreement.
