Day one updates and DRM checks introduce extra difficulties when trying to game offline, even if you still purchase physical media.

Would be great if Sony took this as a lesson learned to ditch DRM like this, and make the PlayStation more "offline friendly".

Right now would be a good time to make suggestions to them.

Corporations don't care about suggestions.

I know if I spent a lot of money on a gaming system and games and because of the corporation's bullshit they weren't working, I would be thinking maybe other players are mad at being scammed, too - there are lawyers who make a lot of money when a bunch of consumers get swindled.

orly? it does not seem like that how it works in US. Suing a corpo is not easy. And even when plebs win, corpos keep doing same shit.
