Letter revision 1
Here is the fixed/re-worded/revised letter, as promised, Hellsing9! Hope you like it!
Well Sony, I will refer to you as an individual or person (to make it more easy to read) but you are a big enterprise, ergo, a big boy.
I know I'm a number on your design board, but you know what?
I will state what I’ve done for you as a consumer of your products and what you've done for me as a company.
1) Buy your system to then have the OtherOS option removed:
I can relate to that, I can feel that you were afraid about the option of installing an open source operating system was annoying to you.
Hence you were *hacked* by open source, and then what did you do?
Close your doors and not let anyone enter your "world".
2) Get *fresh* titles to play on PSN:
At first, I was happy to play online with my friends, and almost forgot the option that you removed because you wanted so. (I respect that)
But then the PSN was hacked back in 2011, after that, I can't trust you anymore.
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed by the fact that private data wasn't encrypted and stored in plain text and got in hands of users with dubious intentions.
In fact, I was *naive* enough to keep using PSN.
3) Get nice and cool content on my PS3 connecting to PS3 Store:
Shame that I don’t live in US or UK to get access to the nice features that PSN has.
It’s a shame too that not even a decent browser was designed or programmed since the one I have isn't very rudimentary. I can’t even see the YouTube videos that I love in HD.
4) I even bought more original games:
With the sad story, that the franchises you have are getting more *slim* as the time passes. I think you know what multi-platform means?
Or am I the only one who is seeing something wrong here? It seems that you are blind, but not like that lady with the scale. Just blind by your own means, you don’t want to see.
5) Homebrews:
Why I can’t have them? You allow dongles like TRUE-BLUE (and clones) that enables piracy on your system and still I see nothing happened to them.
But instead you shutdown with your TOS and privacy policy among other things, any possibility to run homebrews with a lame reason that homebrews are, in fact, an act of piracy but not the dongles.
Sometimes you are too silent, and I don’t know why.
6) Secure, Insecurity:
If you are so insecure, don’t make me feel that way too. Since I know you have flaws (many to count them) but I would be a bad friend if I mention them all.
I know how to keep secrets and I'm a person with moral values but it seems that you don’t know or you like to play ignorant on this topic.
Instead you give me USELESS MANDATORY updates just to secure yourself, not to secure my privacy/data/saves/trophies/PSN games/etc.
This is how I feel about you:
You being blinded by some reason that I don’t care about, but still I buy your products.
You even don’t let my install my ORIGINAL backups on my OWN PS3 system and my OWN hardrive. (Microsoft has that option for his users).
You are being rude, and stubborn.
But I love you.
And I always will, because you gave me so much material to play with and then removed, restricted, and censored it because you wanted it that way.
I'm not mad, but being honest isn’t hard so I can tell you with a clean conscience that I don’t understand you and I know I never will.
Sincerely yours,
a PS3 user,
Hellsing9
