Sega ready to put PSN downtime behind it

The PlayStation Network breach affected a lot of people. Not just Sony and the gamers who used the company's services but game developers and publishers as well. Sega is among those. Now that the online service is up and running again, the house of Sonic is ready to put things behind it and look towards the future.

 

"Everyone who makes content for that service has been affected," Sega's executive vice president of marketing, Alan Pritchard, told GameSpot at E3. "Poor old Sony. It's been a horrible month for them, being beaten up by the press and what have you. As long as it's fixed and is future proofed in time for our big new releases, then it's no problem for us."

 

Pritchard wouldn't give out any specifics on how much money Sega lost during the PSN downtime, but he did note that digital distribution is very important to the company.

Can Sega really judge Sony after the blunder that was Dreamcast?

I am still laughing at it, specially for Sony denying users to use something like Paypal... plain and simple.

I think putting it behind us is all we can do, until it happens again. If we're serious about sticking with Sony, that means sticking with PSN, which is still a million miles better than Nintendo's eShop - if I want to buy Shantea at £10.80 I have to spend £20 on credit to do it - total bloody rip-off! At least with Sony I can pay the actual price and not fill their coffers with my unobtainable spare change.

And Jesus QJ, do something about these Nexus adverts will you? They make the front page unreadable!

Rar.

I'm ready to put it all behind me but i think more than anyone Sony needs to be constantly reminded about this or that laziness and stupidity might creep back in.
