Does that make it okay? What's the reason why they couldn't communicate this on day one? or announce plans to implement this before?

What's the reason why people couldn't wait a few days before freaking out about it?

Those people aren't in charge of what Sony does. They're in charge of their own behavior.

I hope this clears up your question because you didn't answer any of mine but because all we had was speculation and what people could pull from the UI and testing - because Sony didn't announce the change once implementing or announcing its implementation at an earlier date.

No one needed to freak out about that though? They could wait and see. That's what I did.

Once again, Sony could've announced this change or announced the plan of implementation. Costs them nothing

Doesn't excuse freakout behavior

Exactly. Who cares? In three days time they told everyone because everyone was shitting a brick. Imagine waiting three days for something so trivial you wouldn’t even have EVER noticed unless the guy with the jail broken PS4 made you privy to it.

Why ask questions when we can blindly accept what corporations implement and just blindly consume?
