PSN's slow recovery from DDoS attacks highlights bigger problem

The DDoS attacks have been a major focus in the gaming industry lately. Though Sony and Microsoft have unfairly taken a lot of heat from grumpy gamers, it isn't always about the problem itself, but how the problem is handled. The recovery times of each respective gaming network may speak to a bigger problem for PlayStation than a few unhappy gamers.

All I care about is being able to game, when I want to game, and am irritated for all those affected by the outages. I have many reasons why I'm an xbox owner, but they are not to cast aspersions, at companies, or the people that stand behind its products. If you can't play when you want to, that just sucks. Period!

Lol, imagine always online, xbox need to thank playstation always.

TotalSynthesisX3832d ago

Yeah, better thank Playstation and their wonderful fans for starting a petition to bring back the XB1's DRM so the console would sell badly. /s

Give me a break.

Run_bare3832d ago

Lol, truth hurts, haha, it will always remain true.

Redgehammer3832d ago

I am always online, and, with the rare exception, so is XBL. I thank Sony for making MS try harder, as should Sony fans for MS doing the same for Sony.

Bubble mate for the most unbiased comment I've heard in a while! These consoles were built for gaming online as well as offline, and when something/someone affects that, it's bad all around. No preference required!

I thought this was a PSN slowly recovering article? Keep it PS,man
Geesh!

It's more important to keep it true and fair than to "keep it PS."

As someone who has been gaming nearly as long as gaming has been around (since the early 70's), you'd think I'd be against this. Having grown up with all the major platforms and the whole notion of physical ownership... but I'm not. i embrace this as it is a revolutionary convenience. And one i know for a fact many (especially here) have not even given the fair chance to use. I get it... i was there too. But now i have a new outlook on it. It really is a hell of an option if you just want to play with no commitments. By no means am i saying this should replace traditional gaming, its an option. And one that people should look at optimistically as a way to compliment traditional gaming. There is room for both to thrive.
