1. Moving PlayStation's headquarters to the US... severing the ties to its Japanese roots and abandoning Japanese development, along with a change in leadership and terrible decisions.
2. The closure of Japan Studio—something I will never forgive—the studio that gave us so many wonderful and highly creative games, a studio that stood by PlayStation; a truly creative studio.
3. A scarcity of exclusives and the disappearance of studios... Nothing from Naughty Dog.
4. The rise in game prices to $80, coinciding with the arrival of the PlayStation generation.
5. PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 game upgrades for the $10 versions.
6. Collector's editions without the physical game—pulling off this disgusting stunt, little by little... Stupid stuff, like Spider-Man, God of War, Horizon.
7. The terrible quality of the PS5 controller—poorly built and plagued by stick drift—and the terrible quality of the PS5 hardware itself.
8. Games as a service, and Jim Ryan forcing so many studios to work on that crap terrible internal management all in an attempt to find a "golden goose" like *Fortnite*.
9. Concord, And PlayStation just doesn't learn.
10. The requirement to create a PlayStation Network account to play the PC ports.
11. The constant rise in prices across the board—such as a console that launched at $500 now costing $650—is making products inaccessible to consumers.
12. The removal of PlayStation Stars points.
13. PS Plus price hike... where content is inaccessible and they don't notify you which game is leaving the catalog.
They try to pull a fast one on you with these PS1 games, making you believe they're worth their weight in gold while barely adding any new content.
14. The case involving customs and tariff-related scams—where PlayStation failed to refund its customers—has led to lawsuits against the company.
15. The PlayStation Store monopoly—regarding the lawsuit filed against PlayStation in California...
16. They want to make it impossible to get a game anywhere other than the PS Store; that's what they want to do with the PS6.
17. PlayStation server outages that made it impossible to play digital games... A reminder of the importance of physical games.Where there is a reliance on a server
18. The abandonment of PS VR2—where the headset costs more than the console itself—and the abandonment of titles for it, The best games are from Capcom, because PlayStation hasn't made anything other than that piece-of-shit Horizon.
19. A reduction in the PS5 console's SSD capacity: the console's price remained the same, but the revision lowered the storage to 600 GB.
20. The PlayStation 5 Pro costs $800, without a stand or disc drive—you have to buy those separately.
21. DRM and mandatory connectivity—whatever happened to that "death counter" seen in digital games, where failing to connect within 30 days meant losing access to the content and the games themselves, Losing the game license
22. The PSN Store's dynamic pricing—where the price varies depending on the user—essentially punishes you if you buy a lot of games, setting higher prices for wealthier users.
23. Studio closures, cancellations, and mass layoffs. The ones that hurts the most are Evolution and Bluepoint Studios.
24. Take the case of PlayStation and the removal of 550 movies: regardless of whether you had purchased them, the content was taken away, causing you to lose access to those digital files.
25. The shutting down of the PS3 and PS Vita store... PlayStation's stupidity.
Where PlayStation acts arrogantly and believes itself to be untouchable.
26. The stupid, discriminatory censorship of Japanese games—where PlayStation comes down hard on small studios regarding censorship, yet doesn't apply the same standards to its own catalog... like in the case of *The Last of Us Part II*.
. A 5-man turnout? I'd write to corporate and say "lol fuck you no, I'm not paying my staff to rot for hours after normal closing hours to sell a no-margin product to five people, this is bullshit."
