How can this be affected? Well, how is easy, but why? Why would single-player games rely on a whatever response from a Sony server to run?

This is why people should not get digital games in consoles.

I didn't read it in the article - only the digital version was affected?

That only happenes to digital games, they need to verify the license (to some people)

Played Watch Dogs (physical) and a couple of digital games and I didn't need to do anything to make them run.

 

 



Scrptkiddies with a botnet pingflooding servers for attention.
People getting mad / authors writing about them / forum threads being created about them = attention

If nobody gave them the reaction they wanted they'd have little purpose to continue, script kiddies are all the same.

They took it too far anyway, they sent a bomb threat to John Smedley, which has resulted in the FBI getting involved.

Yeah, no. This is only a problem for secondary consoles. You don't have to be online to play on your primary console.
