AMBASSADOR OF VIRTUAL VIOLENCE

Activision Blizzard is concerned that the continuing outage of Sony's online services is preventing its users from having fun.

The Sony Playstation Network hack, which exposed the details of more people than currently live in the United Kingdom, has seen the firm take its online gaming systems offline and that has left gamers playing by themselves as opposed to against their friends and peers online.

"While PlayStation 3 gamers can still play Call of Duty by themselves, the outage has prevented them, since April 20, from playing against others over the Internet.

"We're really concerned about it," said Bobby Kotick, Activision's CEO, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. "People are really disappointed."

Obvious as this may be, it's the first time that a games software house has come out with public criticism of Sony, and with some weeks yet to come before the problem is expected to be settled, more are likely to follow.
Sony was expected to start services up again this week but failed to meet its own target as it scrambles to shore up its security. Some reports suggest that the online service will be restored by the end of this month, putting the outage at about six weeks.

I have a gambling problem
I can't believe how much money is being wasted with all of this going on. PSN is going to have one hell of a time getting people back to ps3 after this is settled.

$500 million a year from PSN last year...
On track for higher

I guess $1 million a day that from lack of D.L sales and dev costs per d.l.

Shocked they came out and said this ain't helpful

what i don't understand is why didn't they disconnect the server with personal info, and just let us connect to each other for online gaming while they build the new system. It would've taken one extra day to make things better for us, the end consumer.

I gotta believe sony is losing money, but I doubt its anything to make them blink about... Ps3 is only one small aspect of what they are into. Medical equip, tv's.,music, electronics... Who knows what else.
