Obviously just damage control but they do seem to be "fixing it". They must've accidentally implemented a feature to get and show image from the newest news post (which is often an ad), accidentally tested and vetted that feature, and accidentally pushed it.
Ah yes it's always a bug after massive community backlash. If there wasn't much, it'd have been a test, and if there wasn't any, it was always intended.
ahhh, companies copying homework from bigots' dogwhistling tactics? what a brave new world we live in
says something bigoted
receives backlash
"haha guys can't you take a joke? everyone's so sensitive nowadays"
Them damn wokies can't take a joke!!!!!!!!!
The community backlash is the bug as far as Sony is concerned. They're trying to work around it now…
Telling gamers to watch out for Hanlon's razor would open them to too much harsh reflection of their own mistakes.
yes sure it could've been a bug, but can we really believe them that it was?
companies are on a quest to pollute our lives with ads, it's not a stretch to think it's bullshit when another attempt to do that is being denied with "whoopsie the new guy wrote the code wrong nothing to worry about here!"
Yeah, too fucking late. Already canceled PS Plus.
