The story goes like this: Sony is a non-stop-eating-monster, Sony was at its best on the sales this last year but still went after Geohot that released a crack for their precious PS3. This whole thing went a little over the line and then some hackers decided (probably) to teach Sony a lesson. The result? Sony Online Entertainment and Playstation Network got Hacked… Twice!
My point in this post is different though! It has to do with the infographic bellow. This infographic shows the “real” damage done to Sony with this “hacked” thing.
What IS MISSING from this infographic is the REAL damage the developers and the users sustained.
The developers are what makes a console or a platform successful, some game developers where only writing and publishing games for the Playstation Network, some others make games that are based on the online gaming community of the playstation network. And i tell you. The real damage is on the credibility of Sony in the eyes of the developers and the publishers. The simple users can be tricked with some free games as a refund and other cheap tricks! But the developers won’t! Beware Sony cause if the games development teams leave you, you are going down in flames!
