Sony make themselves look better than Microsoft with always online and then screw everyone just the same by allowing this on their system, ROFL.

Sony, like MS, have no control over what another company does with their product. Sony, nor MS, are to blame for 2K's stupidity.

What are you talking about? Of course they do, Sony must approve everything thats published on their consoles, even patches must be approved.

Sorry, I didn't realise MS stopped this patch. You might want to stop saying 'Sony' only.

Sony and MS check to see if the content of the patch breaks their system, not if it changes the game (for better or worse). If 2K want to release a game and add DRM into it, it's up to them. Both MS and Sony have said numerous times, they have no control over 3rd party game and their DRM, this is bad on 2K and if anything makes MS and Sony developed games more appealing because of it.

Sony pranced about like a little highschool cheerleader with it's "we will be better than xbone and not give you any DRM". Now look what happens.

How does that NOT reflect poorly on Sony as well?

If I recall correctly, Sony said they wouldn't be implementing it system-wide, and wouldn't be putting it into their own games. They won't actually prevent third parties from doing it in individual games.
