Why would you want them to be breached? The only people that are going to be negatively affected by that are the users who was involved in the breach.
Understand hating a company but I find it to be pretty selfish if you're okay with third party being affected just to fit your personal agenda.
It's what separates the corporate tiers with the consumer level. The ability to care.
Yes and no. Sony would face repercussions for lax security, and while it would indeed affect the consumers, Sony would be at the epicenter. Forgive me for not giving a shit to what happens to Sony, and if they did in fact get breached I'll be there with some popcorn enjoying some Shadenfreude.
What I'm saying is that you have to look at the bigger picture. Not only Sony would be affected by that, back in 2011 when they were breached consumers were charged in the estimated tens of millions of dollars range. A figure that Sony only ended up having to repay about 15 million in settlement fees for after a solid year and a half.
Additionally, Sony still managed to go up in profit that year, despite the PR nightmare out of it. Going up from 1.2 billion after operating costs in 2010 to 1.4 billion after operational costs in 2011 and still made 1.1 billion in 2012 ( after the 172 million in damages was done)
I understand hating big business and their practices as much as the next guy, but I have a hard time getting a sense of satisfaction knowing that at the end of the day the company itself isn't going to be impacted by the hack more than a small itch, while fucking over the everyday consumer significantly more
...You want their security to be bad enough that they get hacked, so that they'd have to face repercussions for having bad security? What?
How about they just don't have bad security and people don't risk having their private data stolen?
Nice to know you'd sit there with popcorn watching people who just want to play video games suffer, a small price to pay for you to hurt Sony it seems, who I guess you hate for some reason.
Oh no, people not being able to play games for a few hours, please stop the suffering.
It's not about people not being able to pay
It's about personal data of people getting lost
Look at the thread we're in, look at the top of the conversation. This is about people not being able to play.
