No no no, the score isn't permanent, it can be shifted down at any time. :)  Of course, that's not across the board, Skyrim PS3 scores remained largely untouched.

The number of perfect scores dosed out like candy in the 7th gen is rather ridiculous, many reviewers looked straight past glaring flaws and behemoth issues. The 7th gen is when I lost all faith and trust in reviews in general, there are very few reviewers whose opinions I trust today.

Sony online broken confirmed

Agreed.  7th gen basically ruined the entire rating scale for games.

Last two months, stolen from GAF:

^I keep getting disconnected from PSN and getting error messages all the time when watching Netflix, it is quite annoying. This has been going on since this summer and happens every time I watch something for more than an hour or so. I am not having issues on any other devices and the network settings all appear fine.

I've tried digging around on the net a couple times to see if I could find out what went wrong with DriveClub and its server launch but I have nothing substantle to give. Just some corrupted code towards servers.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was (Beastie Boys song starts playing-sabatogde).

Did they hold a gun to consumers heads and force them to buy it ???

Whats really disgusting is that pretty much everyone that is bitching about DC on here are known xbox fans.  

So I have no right to judge Sony's reactions because I don't have a Playstation 4?

Yes these kind of practices are inexcusable. Actually any responsible company, this is not solely about Sony and this game, deserves to die over blunders like this. Bringing such broken products would never fly in any other industry. Consumers are basically robbed and treated with disrespect. But, in the industry of gaming where everything goes nowadays, this will once again be excused and shoved under the carpet by companies. Gullable gamers fooled by pretty pictures will just buy whatever they dangle in front of them anyway and the process continues.
