bunch of cry babies if you ask me but then again this generation is full of condecent "i feel i own an answer" entitled cunts

My only issue is that if it was just incompetency, what's the issue with coming out and saying no user data was compromised? The elephant in the room is that they aren't saying that.

Yes.... because no user data was compromised.

The other poster just made it clear, they have a legal mandate to inform if user data was compromised. They haven't informed.... therefore.... c'mon, you're almost there.... you can do it!....

Yes! No data was compromised!... I knew you'd get there in the end. Clap for yourself.

IGN cherry picks 3 messages from people from social media, who sound like they get overly offended and upset by anything and everything. I bet these are the same people complaining about finding it hard to have free time to game, but are are glued to their social media sites 10 hours a day.

Sony is giving them 5 days of PlayStation Plus extra, but you can tell they are gonna want free games like the big hack in 2011, because comparing these outages is just bait and trying to stir shit. The thing that wrote this for IGN probably wasn't even born in 2011.

On a side note, absolutely fuck always online for single player games and even hardware that needs registered like that disc drive.

Man for someone who types like a high and mighty jackass you can easily flip your condescending tone on yourself.

You can't assume what did or didn't take place based on regulation laws that corps break all the time. You can read between the lines; you can do it...

Corporations lie and hide things all the time. I'm proud you got there! Good job!

If Sony was confident a breach didn't happen, they'd say so. Laws or not.

“Y’all got any more of them PS5’s with original firmware?!?”

Spoiler

Speculation

Hahahaha, wow!!!

So, we've gone from Sony is hiding user data being compromised to Sony is lying and deliberating breaking the law by not informing their users of this supposed data breach.

You're completely delusional and your fanboyism has sent you down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theory. You need to log off NeoGaf, go outside and touch grass.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

If there was a leak of user data or credit cards they would be legally obligated to disclose that wouldn’t they? My memory of the 2011 is a bit fuzzy but I seem to remember them being silent for quite some time before revealing what happened.

At any rate that was before we had 2fa and passkeys. If your account is sufficiently protected and you don’t have a debit card saved I don’t think there is anything to worry about.

With the introduction of the GDPR in 2018 companies that have a data breach have to inform people where they have been affected (at least where those companies process personal data about EU or UK citizens), unless there is unlikely to be a risk of harm (financial, emotional or physical).

The 2011 was prior to data protection legislation catching up with the digital world so things worked differently.

I'm 99.9% sure that if Sony were the victims of a data breach that had an impact on customer data, they would have made an announcement already. They basically have 72 hours to notify a data protection regulator from the moment they're aware of a high risk breach and everyone would likely know not too long after that. It's better to come clean yourself rather than have a regulator announce it. Diminishes the trust between both them and the customer.

I'm almost certain that this is a monumental fuck up internally due to lack of process or not following the correct process. I see this kind of stuff happen all the time.

The reality is the service has been so reliable the past decade which is why it was notable.

"Spooked by 2011" lmao

So reliable? It was one of the largest data breaches in history. 77 million accounts were compromised.

 

[ChoosableOne]

Yeah, they should've explained it more. There are some people here oddly trying to downplay the situation, but not being able to provide service for a whole day is a big deal. For years, they labeled all their patches as just "stability improvements." They could be more transparent at least in a situation like this.

Yeah my bad, I was talking about it not going down.

 

[Walter Matthau]

Everyone ready for their free copy of Dead Nation?

 

[Fake]

IGN didn't ask any questions. This entire article is based off a handful of tweets. And IGN has no "influence" to "demand" anything.

This reminds me that Batgirl movie that got cancel. IGN interview like 5 folks that put a shit hashtag on Twitter asking the movie to come back. A fucking entire article about that.

 

[cireza]

They have to share details if personal data has been compromised, otherwise they don't have to do anything.

 

[laynelane]

Same ex Eurogamer who did the other shit article.

I suspect we'll be able to rely on ArtHands to keep us up to date on anything that person publishes in the future (so long as it's Sony related). Bit of a match made in heaven there.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Yeah I assume legally they can't sit on this information if personal data was compromised.

 

[The_Observer]

So many corporate sucker fanboys in the thread, disgusting.Yes, after the past events (with many companies that you provide your precious data for, not just Sony) it is the bare minimum that Sony should state that no user data was compromised or if that happened then tell us.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

In 2011 it took a week for Sony to share this info so maybe Sony will share the news with everyone this weekend

 

[Gen.Grievous]

All this bullshit over not even 24 hours of downtime. It's not like you have a business level SLA or something. GTFO.

 

[fart town usa]

I have no shortage of issues with Sony but the recent outage is whatever to me.

 

[DeepEnigma]

They forced me to actually touch grass that evening. Life won't ever be the same.
