They really hate their own fans. Be aware of that next time you purchase any Sony product.

    I don't understand the word "purchasing" in the context of "Sony product". What do you mean with that?

    If you want to pirate a camera, a phone, a set of headphones, a walkman, a games console or any other consumer electronics goods, be my guest. I don't see how you can do that..

    Simple. I'll just download it. Back in my day you used to be able to download RAM too.

    Sony has been the publisher for a zillion games via SEI.

    They also literally directly own a bunch of game studios including Naughty Dog (The Last of Us, Uncharted, all the way back to Crash Bandicoot), Arrowhead Studios (Helldivers), Guerilla Games (Horizon) and now also Bungie (Destiny, Halo). That’s just a few of the big studios they own. Complete list here: https://www.gamesradar.com/playstation-studios-sony/

    Edit: Oh and of course they owned the studio that made Concord (Firewalk Studios)

    Yes I know, (my Sony boycott is a well-informed one, before I purchase a game I make sure that there's no Sony stench coming off it), and I can understand how you can pirate those (Which I assume was the joke that Tattorack was making).

    But Sony is much bigger than just its games division. It's also the music label, the movie label and the electronics. Music and Movies can also be "pirated", but not the consumer electronics.
