Hmm, I wonder if I can claim some free games even though I didn't own a sony console well after 2011.

>>254587141
> Very limited selection of games that had sequels coming out they turned it into a promotion for their up coming games

>>254587141

>>254587141
But they didn't give away enough free games!

$15m from a shitty company already bleeding money. Can we just put a bullet in it and be done already?

Holy shit, that happened in 2011?

Where has time gone?

tell me more about these free games

So I'm getting 3 months of free PS+?

cool

>>254586783
They already gave people free games as an apology, and this is just shills squeezing what they can out of the settlement.

Well what the fuck were you expecting?

I remember when they gave everyone free PS+ and free games from the whole PSN fiasco, I ended up getting Infamous, LittleBigPlanet, and like 3 months of PS+

Are people still honestly butthurt about that PSN attack? It's not like they actually took anything of importance considering that they had credit card information but it was all encrypted anyways.

>>254587565
I'm surprised they didn't target Target

>>254586783
Man what a shitty company. People will defend Sony for getting hacked too even though they didn't have the proper security in the first place and then decide to tell everyone a month after the breach. Great communication on there part.

>>254586783
I was happy with how they gave everyone a choice of a few games before. LBP ended up being one of my favorite games of the gen and I'm not sure I would have ever bought it myself.

I was actually more disappointed with Sony in 2012, after losing Butler they didn't advertise shit, which meant that Starhawk, the Vita and other games that released that year bombed when they would have sold great

>>254588253
>Yfw Sony's new Vita ads now star a black weaboo kid named Jamal who advertises weaboo games and ports

they really know their audience

>>254588253
Now they manage to make a console without games sell well

Fucking Sony

>>254587985
>Trusting game companies enough to give them important information
Ain't nothing to defend here, just have some common sense.

>>254586783
Didn't they give away WipEout HD?

>>254588253

Man how did starhawk ever turn out? I loved the shit out of warhawk when I first got my ps4, and mostly drove around in tanks or shot shit out of the sky with rocket launchers. Was glorious.

So was MAG for the first month or two I played as a HMG weilding, healing support with anti-tank mines and rocket lawnchairs. Good times.

>>254588389
Remember that this time they poured an assload of money into marketing the thing so everyone knew what it was

>Claims made by those who didn't participate in PlayStation's "Welcome Back" package — a program in which Sony offered PSN members free games as thanks for their loyalty after the security breach — will be honored on a first-come, first-serve basis, subject to an aggregate cap of $6 million. Claimants will be able to choose two separate benefit options or two instances of one PSN benefit option.

>Those who did participate in the "Welcome Back" package will be eligible to receive one game benefit, a theme benefit or a PlayStation Plus subscription benefit. Participants will also be honored on a first-come, first-serve basis to an aggregate cap of $4 million.

Going to be a mad rush, I already got my welcome back package, if they're offering a theme as an equivalent option I can only imagine what shit games they're planning on giving.

PattyH was given her own section about nothing but Pokemon news. She posts like 2-5 Pokemon posts a week.

I can't play Pokemon anymore, but I can tolerate kotaku now.

Next they need to give that yannick faggot his own kid Icarus section and were golden.

What if I didn't have an account at the time?
Will I still get free stuff?

If they were a good company they would of alerted everyone as soon as the the hack happened and not try and sweep it under the rug Sony handled it poorly and a few free games is not a fix

>>254591158
If this had happened to MS they wouldn't give people shit. Sony handed out free things because they were apologizing, not because they were forced to.

>>254590864

It is when your company makes no money.

>>254591192

>>254590843
>4million cap
>6million cap
This shit makes no sense since there is no money lost. I guarantee 99% of people wouldn't buy these games if they weren't free.

>>254591192
And Sony deletes any transaction history to preserve your information.

They should put Wild Arms 3 and Dark Cloud on the PSN, that's what they should do

>>254587316
Wipeout HD was worth it.

Best thing because I had just bought my PS3 when it happened.

>>254590487

Only people who didn't cash in their chips to get a free game back in 2011.

so only the stupidest of the stupid because the fine print in >>254590843 indicates they'll likely get jack of shit. (or $4.50 in credit)

>>254588468
And LBP, InFamous, Dead Nation, Mod Nation racers for psp and some other cop game on psp

>>254590636
No.

>>254591267
If Sony was so pro-consumer, they wouldn't have changed their terms of service directly afterwards.

>>254592079
If you DID NOT take the free things in 2011, two undisclosed benefit packages.(PS+ subscriptions)

If you were calm and rational and accepted their welcome back package, you get another free game or PS+.

>>254592056
Yeah that shit simply doesn't fly. If you give me a contract that allows me to kill you and I do it I will still go to jail.

The only reason they're getting sued is because they didn't put that in the agreement beforehand. EVERY other company already has it in there by the way.

When they offered it as a free game back then I jumped at it. It was surprisingly good. 2 was much better. Second Son was alright as well.

Xbox has gotten security breaches a number of times. The thing is that Microsoft has security research and defensive team for this shit. They shut down the security breach pretty fast rate, and learn from the experience.

Sony is still new to the internet online services business. So when they first got hack, it's likely that they had no idea how to deal with a disaster of that scale.

Um. They gave us free stuff back when it happened dude. I got five free games and 30 days of PS+ when PSN finally came back up. They even apologized publicly. Twice. Once on video and once at the following E3 where Jack himself got up and apologized to everyone.

Seriously. This was settled ages ago.

>>254591259
Meanwhile microsoft has swept dozens of attacks under the rug and it barely makes news. Why? Because unlike Sony, Microsoft never comes out and apologizes for it. Funny how doing the right thing attracts more flack than hiding the fact that your security sucks like Microsoft.
