You expect a 10 years console to resume back to normal?

See, I could maybe buy this argument if it was something unintentional. Maybe a server went down and lost all the data, or some hack required them to upgrade their security in a way that a 10-year-old console couldn't handle. Sure, that kind of thing happens (though not usually for a megacorp like Sony, but anyway). But they made this decision intentionally. They put in extra work to make sure that it would function in this anticonsumer way. It cost them money and time to make this change.

Do I expect a console that I purchased 10 years ago to still operate in the same way now, barring disasters or malfunctions? Yes. Yes I do.
