One year later, how has the PSN security breach changed your opinion of Sony?

[FireRubies1 1,325]

I still dislike them the same way I used to....

[Khrulesbbs 574]

better than xbox so idc

[TheKingdomkid 1,194]

nothing has changed my opinion of it

[earth_angel 73]

Didn't change my opinion. My creditcard expired around the same period, so for me it didn't matter much anyway.

[Kirie 3,489]

Didn't change....

[Spectrum of Life 188]

It was more funny than anything else. One of the most draconian anti-piracy Companies bungles basic security theory.

 

It's also an important reminder that we, as the customers, are only tools in the end.

[BassGSnewtype 22]

Opinion Unchanged

[Tsunamo 62]

Yes, in a positive way because FREE GAMES!

But in all seriousness, it hasn't changed my opinion of Sony for better or for worse. I didn't do much online gaming back then, so it didn't bother me that much anyway.

[Friend 81]

i thought it was a major messup on there part and i did not really take a liking to it.

 

at this point im through with sony. though the PSN hack was not the only cause for me to abandon sony

it was one of the major points for it. along with it being over priced on everything that people want (the vita and everything involved with the vita) and just its views anymore.

though i will still support their headphones. these things are fing awesome

Unchanged.

[Rob 5,571]

It could have happened to anyone. Plus, they've handled the situation quite well after with all the maintenance and such.

[riku13 148]

Unchanged because I never used it before anyways.

[Queen Tery 4,591]

the only ones i got mad at was the hackers, so my opinion was unchanged.

[Rinax 473]

No change in my opinion.

It's not like we can really blame Sony for the breach. The hackers did it and with the technology now, you can hack into almost anything/security is a lot better.

[J. Severe 1,137]

Not a single bit, since I don't have a PS3 or PSP and thus haven't had a single speck of experience with PSN.

[TheLetterX 7]

Hmm... Opinion *Glasses* "Uncharted 3".

 

Uncharted is a PlasStation only game!

[KeybladeWielder_ 161]

Well, they handled it pretty well.

But it shouldn' have happened in the first place.

I will never give Sony my credit card details, ever.

[XIIISwords 1,059]

Gamefaq question of the day, really?

 

But it didn't affect me at all.

[Skai 3,961]

I could hardly care less.

[Always 309]

It never really impacted my opinion of Sony either way. I was like eh, whatever.

[teh lazy prince Xylek 1,559]

eh

[Alex*Sora*89 23]

Negatively, but in fact that has little to do with the actual 2011 PSN blackout.

 

It has more to do with stuff like http://www.eurogamer...ystation-stores , as if we need another example of why being an European gamer sucks. Oddly enough - barring EarthBound, Drill Dozer and WarioWare Twisted - Nintendo never seems to have such problems. The PSOne Classics are by far the biggest offender.

 

As to how they handled it, well, if I'm allowed to make a comparison...

- Early 2011: hackers breach through Sony's security, stealing potentially thousands of bucks worth of data, with friggin' credit card data among the stolen stuff. Userbase gets rewarded with TWO free games.

- Later in 2011: the Nintendo 3DS gets a price cut, with the only offense being a potentially perceived feeling of betrayal by day-one users. Said users get rewarded with TWENTY free games.

 

The facts speak for themselves, doing the math is up to you folks.

It was kinda good thing for me since I finally had change to play FF XIII to end since I was playing online a lot on those times, so it finally forced me to play something not based on multiplayer or online co-op..
