    How these companies don’t realize these incompetent decisions push formerly paying customers into piracy is actually beyond me.

    Do every c-level employee in these companies have brain damage?

      Not going to lie, i think most consumers will take this lying down and that’s what Sony is betting on. The amount that actually turn to piracy is so small, and the price hike easily makes up for the customers they’d lose. I’d say most people on Lemmy know how to pirate (if not are pirating already) so it’s a bit of an echo chamber here where we assume everybody is just going to pirate so as to stop lining Sony’s pockets.
