They are children.
This is not an insult.
MANY of these kids are between the ages of 14-18
(Videogames are largely for kids whose parents won't raise them ,gotta admit this as you get older sadly. Older gamers are a minority)
They do not understand almost anything.
The US education system was bad 30 years ago, it's worse now.
They missed 2 core years because of covid, studies show they largely read 2 grades below their level.
They struggle to articulate thoughts.

All of this is recent research.

Basically.
They truly do not know WTF They are talking about, and they don't even google it to try and learn.
They just keep confidently being wrong.

Very true. I still can't believe how unintelligent the average American is these days. Literacy nationwide is terrible. And social media just perpetuates misinformation among those that lack critical thinking skills. I call it TikTok Brain.

A few Sony PSN attacks:

https://cybersecop.com/news/2021/11/14/playstation-network-breaches-psn-hacks

- 2011 was a very big breach with 77 million users data stolen or affected in some way and seriously effected PSN for nearly 1 month https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/sony-admits-user-data-was-compromised-in-psn-security-breach/

https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE73P6WB/ -

Sony probably did not pay enough attention to security when it was developing the software that runs its network. In the rush to get out innovative new products, security can sometimes take a back seat.
"They have to innovate rapidly. That's the business model," Paller said. "New software has errors in it. So they expose code with errors in it to large numbers of people, which is a catastrophe in the making."

- 2014 "Guardians of Peace" hacker group stole Sony personal employee data (this was a Sony Films attack but is still part of the Sony Network)

- August 2014 "Lizard Squad" hacker group shuts down PSN with DDOS https://blog.playstation.com/2014/08/24/playstation-network-update-2/#sf4320680

- December 2014 "Lizard Squad" DDOS shuts down PSN *and* Xbox Live, so not exactly stolen data https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/dec/26/xbox-live-and-psn-attack-christmas-ruined-for-millions-of-gamers

- July 2021 Sony warned people to start using 2 factor authentication after 'reports of hacking'. https://www.siliconera.com/sony-psn-account-hacking-attempts/

- October 2023 data breach affects over 5'000 PSN users https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/sony-confirms-data-breach-impacting-thousands-in-the-us/

Someone attempting to ingrate themselves with a more powerful entity by attempting to be servile.

And while i would agree that i often disagree with people when they trash the dev on this forum, and that could be seen as me white knighting, especially by the first-world problems crowd with their "The dev is the antichrist and root of all evil in the world" narrative... i have to say that from my perspective i am mostly operating under "credit where it is due" and not wanting misinformation to peddle outrage stand.

I feel that especially today we all should spend a little more time combating misinformation in our lives, instead of perpetuating it for some cheap emotional high.

And to further the point, if i were a boot licker, i would be defending this forced move to PSN. Something i don't do and you won't be seeing me doing (unless it's done by peddling lies, and even then i probably would just point out the lies and not defend the move), for the simple reason that i see no reason why this needs to happen.

PSN is a notoriously unsafe network, Helldivers 2 doesn't seem to need PSN to work and matchmake, and forcing people to sign up to a service that is hacked like every 6 months, is quite frankly bullsh♥♥.

And the "Or Else" type of phrasing of the announcement doesn't exactly make the situation more endearing. Add to that PSN isn't even available in all countries, which means we will be forcefully kick people out of the game by sole virtue of Sony needing that sweet, sweet data harvest to sell to people and use for their own marketing.

So yeah, i am aware that i am often on the opposition of those running around and sharing their hyperbole, by virtue of them using hyperbole, but that doesn't make me a boot licker.

Even if you say it does... i'd still not be paid by Arrowhead or Sony. Ergo... to point to me as evidence for the existence of paid boot lickers is evidence for them not existing.
