Question though. Since when has sony been accused of gimping games? When they got lesser multiplats from pc ports they took it.

Watch_Dogs. If I recall correctly, Sony was promoting the PS4 version as being the definitive version through its ads. Later, it was found out that with a bit of work, the definitive version was the PC version. Some suspect this was Sony pressuring Ubisoft to hold back on the PC version.

On consoles maybe. I mean square advertised the current gen versions of tomb raider as definitive as well and they are doing the same thing for sleeping dogs even though it was on PC.

Yeah but in this case, it's Sony that is suspected of holding back the PC version. Sony, eager to describe their PS4 as a 'supercharged' PC, had a content exclusivity deal with Ubisoft. Watch_Dogs was also bundled with PS3 and PS4 in Europe, and a Watch_Dogs movie is coming out in collaboration with, among other companies, Sony. Sony and Ubisoft are very much in bed.

So there you have it: because of the aforementioned, some people suspect there was pressure from Sony to gimp the PC version. Whether it's true or not, I have no clue. I don't know what happens behind closed doors but you asked if they've ever been accused, yes and that listed above is the reason why.
