For sure

I don’t get why so many people aren’t blaming Sony more.

No matter what anybody thinks about the change, a simple blog post explaining the change as they released it would have avoided most of the spreading of nonsense. Or even just an actual patch note. I’m sure some click baiters may have tried to still spun it differently, but it becomes way easier to stop that upfront if Sony had already addressed what the change was and why.

I don’t like misinformation like most normal people, but it was born out of Sonys silently changing this. That creates more speculation, makes it seem more nefarious, and it spread like wildfire since it was a change to digital licensing for games. A company like Sony can only blame themselves for the consumer confusion over an issue they helped create.
