One of the big unfortunate themes of the year, besides broken games, is the amount of times PSN or Xbox live has been down this year. Now I know that it isn't always their fault since they have been the target of DDoS attacks but I'm getting really tired of not being able to play online games on PS4. I haven't been able to connect to PSN since christmas day and I think Sony should seriously start to rethink how they handle these kind of things. Now this isn't some form of attack on Sony or Playstation since I'm mostly really happy about my PS4 and it's the platform I play most of my games on these days. But the amount of times PSN has been down throughout the year not only to these DDoS attacks but also because of regular maintenance is unacceptable in my opinion. I still play games more or less every day so I might encounter this more than most people but I fell like I encounter PSN being down atleast once every week for maintenance and these constant DDoS attacks is really getting frustrating. Anyway I just had to get this off my chest.
I know it's not 100% Sonys fault every time they get attacked but I think it's unacceptable that PSN is down for what seems like 3-4 days every time these DDoS attacks has happened and to be fair Microsoft has also been down because of these attacks so it's not only Sonys problem. But I do think Sony should be better at handling this. I do actually pay Sony a yearly subscription to play online games and I'm starting to feel like I'm not getting my moneys worth with the amount of times I have experienced PSN being down and not being able to play online games.
What's your thoughts on all of this?
