Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

The first time it was to be dicks in the name of retaliation for Sony suing them. Everything after that was to be dicks.

You haven't felt the attacks? Since April 2014 you haven't noticed the degrading quality of PSN for PS4 (notice I'm not pointing at PS3 and Vita here). And I'll just say it before it gets pointed out as if I'm not aware. PS3 and Vita run differently than the PS4. The PS3 doesn't show you who is online on Vita or PS4, there's a reason for that (remember the XMB system PS3 has). You may not be acting like a fanboy in your opinion, but you say shit like this:

hackers are apparently still butthurt for sony's actions against them for finally being able to hack the system itself that they felt was near impossible to crack.

That's all I really have to say.
Quality in terms of content? In terms of lack of demos yes. Don't know, personally I don't really care about who it shows online, so I haven't noticed, if that's true. That second part I said is actually true, I don't have to act like a fanboy to say that. And to be fair most people here seem to be more Nintendo fans to a higher extent of my preference. I own all of the basic consoles except XB1, so I have a deep love all around the board, minus early XB1 announcements.
Quality in terms of online network (PSN) problems. You're either misreading what I'm saying or purposely trying to spin it towards something that you think is an issue (demos). Whether you care somebody is online or not doesn't matter here, it's just one of the examples I used to show the system isn't structured the same on PS3, Vita, and PS4. I don't give a shit about seeing who is online either (for the most part), but you gotta wonder why the system doesn't show them all still, right? Again, the quality is with regards to the network service and infrastructure of PSN, something that even MS (with Live) and others (Steam for example) don't avoid complaints towards. It just so happens that since April, the problems with PSN have increased way more than any other time. You could say it's because of the amount of people who got Sony platforms, but with the online service (and people are paying for if they get PS+, something I've been a huge fan of since the beginning and sung its praises for what it did) it's quite evident that they could (and have to) improve it. Nintendo is stuck in the fucking stone age with their online (plus other stuff...), and people aren't exactly hiding that fact. MS has been having problems with Live way more since late October than anytime before Christmas 2007. People are voicing their complaints and even though the service is having problems, the main point here is that it's not having these problems in such high degree (maybe not for you or myself, but for the majority of people you can't tell me with a straight face they've been hunky dory on PSN) and so often. How about this: If you were one of these individuals, who would you rather target more often? The more vulnerable, or the less vulnerable?

And as for who favors what company more, it shouldn't matter really. We should all care about all these companies making good games and correcting their problems as much as they can. If we wanna talk owning consoles and fanboyism, congrats I'm one the least fanboyish people I guess for owning the majority of them after the NES era to the present day (no Atari consoles or 3DO. boo hoo I is sad now). Owning the console does little about pointing out and accepting the flaws of these companies at the end of the day. I've said it for a while now and I'll say it again, Sony has gotten complacent since the launch of the PS4. I see the PS4 as the 360 of this generation, and the XB1 as the PS3 of this generation. Whether you believe that or not, I don't care because that particular thing is just my opinion.

Misread (not thinking) + was trying to do all this on mobile + wasn't in the mood. I understand all the points made here and agree with most. I'm not denying that their (online reliability) services still sucks even with the fixes. I just don't want to hold it against them and wish them well.

I know that hackers like a challenge, I know a few of them. One which hacked into Disney for shit's 'n giggles, and he's a huge fan of them. But if they have something against a company, they'll go after them more often I'd have to think, vulnerability not even being an issue for pros. Personally though? I don't like that much of a challenge.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

It makes me feel old since I've been tooting the Sony-rage horn for four years. :P
