Lol a good chunk of those "breaches and hacks" are either unrelated to PlayStation (Sony Pictures being the most notable) or had no impact to users.

I don't care if they leak their source code for games or if their social media account gets socially-engineered. Even an outage from a DDOS isjust a minor inconvenience. According to the source you posted, they haven't had any issues leaking PlayStation user data since 2011, over a decade ago.

Security concerns are valid for everything you do on the Internet of course, but are you bringing that same energy to Valve for the security issues Steam has had over the years too? The 2023 issue with dev accounts getting hacked to inject malware. The 2020 issue with the "Steam Sockets" library. They had their own data breach similar to Sony's in 2011.
