Genuine question: obviously there is always gonna be somebody who disagrees with scummy practices and leaves but is there any evidence that Sony is actively losing customers from all the bullshit?

just found the replies tab! I dont know, but I wouldnt be surprised if their sales are shite. I have always felt that games should be the same offline, and to me, multiplayer still means offline with friends. But I'm old as shit now
