It's not an exaggeration to say Sony's winning the current console war against Microsoft. The PlayStation 5 is comfortably outselling the Xbox Series X/S. But yet, despite being the market leader, Sony's made some own goals of late, and a former lead from its green-tinted rival is calling them out.
In a new video on her YouTube channel titled 'Sony Please Stop Hitting Yourself! Why Quiet Changes Backfire', Laura Fryer, previously an executive producer at Microsoft Games Studios, looks at recent underhanded messaging from the home of The Last of Us and God of War. She highlights the decision to force an online check-in for games bought digitally from the end of March this year, within 30 days of purchase. You simply need to play it once with an internet connection for the license to be sorted, but slightly obtuse messaging had people wondering if this was making their library online-only.
