Sony’s uptime delusions crumbling faster than a PSN auth server. Fourteen hours of radio silence while charging for the privilege of digital serfdom? Masterstroke. Remember 2011’s month-long outage? At least we got free games as consolation—now they’ll just send thoughts and prayers via shareholder memos.
”Premium service” my ass. Paywalls for multiplayer, cloud saves held hostage, and a walled garden rotting from neglect. But hey, keep funding Zuck’s yacht repairs while your PS5 gathers dust. The 2011 apology tour is dead—2025’s mantra is ”fuck you, pay more.”
Reboot the servers, Jim. Or just admit the cloud was a screensaver all along.
They sent thoughts and prayers.
5 days of PSN for free.
lol
The cloud is just someone else's computer.
You just made a Techbro angry somewhere in the world.
Nope, people in IT know that the cloud is just someone else's computer lol
Nope, people in IT know the cloud is actually countless servers on racks in a giant data center rotfl.
Yep, just like serverless computing that doesn't use servers, or how games benefit heavily from the blockchain and companies are always hiring blockchain devs despite not knowing what the blockchain is or why they need blockchain devs other than because they heard they need it.
Don't get me started with IoT.
