Ask Slashdot: How Should Sony Compensate PSN Users?
ogar572 writes "So Sony is going to give 20 million+ PlayStation Network users (numbers vary based on what article you read) two free games and free credit protection (US only) for what happened a few weeks ago. I for one do miss playing Black Ops online, but I have made it through this outage by doing other, more productive things. What I am most frustrated about is the lack of consistent details and information via email about what is going on. Now Sony says that they are going to compensate us with two free downloadable games (more than likely I have never heard of these games before). I would have been satisfied with the free credit protection. Now that they want to offer me 2 games, why can't I pick any 2 games that I want? I mean, my personal info is now probably being sold on the black market because of Sony. What do you think Sony should do, if anything, to compensate for what has happened?"
What I want is for Sony to stop being a dinosaur of a fucking company that supports the BSA, and start being a company that sticks to best practices. what the fuck kind of company stores old archived sensitive data on a networked server in 2011, and then proceeds to grandstand against how it must be anonymous and basically mislead the public in it's entirety?
People don't have the decision to retroactively fix the fact that they trusted a corporate identity with their information and that corporate entity just fucked them over bigtime.
