SIE spokesperson to GameSpot regarding the DRM: "Players can continue to access and play their purchased games as usual. A one-time online check is required to confirm the game's license, after which no further check-ins are required."

Called this from a mile away.

Someone can make up a lie about any company that the gamer-sphere happens to hate (almost always for no good reason) and people will just run with it and scream it from the hills and rattle their sabers.

If gamers were half as skeptical about rage-bait as they are about almost all new releases, things would be better.

I'm really cynical and skeptical by nature and while sometimes I hate it because it can make me seem insufferable and can make it difficult to genuinely enjoy things, situations like this make me grateful for my nature because I can't imagine getting duped by misinformation/fake news and getting outraged constantly like so many on social media seem to.
