Well we called it. Staying quiet until Friday then waving the middle finger as off into the weekend they go...
Good will from PlayStation is nothing but hazy, distant memories... lockdown's Play At Home is about the only thing I can think of in recent memory.
They had the perfect blueprint on how to handle this transition from xbox, and they chose not to equal or better it but instead be greedy and self-defeating.
I cannot weigh up the big brain decision to burn good will, have yet more disatrous PR stories encircling the brand and sky it into row Z with an open goal from 6 yards... all to save what must be an absolute rounding error sum of money. Some bean counter suit probably thought they were justifying their existence here, but everyone up the chain signed off on this shit and decided this was the best way to communicate things. It's sad to see.
