This thread is more than just a platform for anti-Sonyism (although it is used for that purpose as well), it is mainly a place to discuss Sony's failures and what impact those failures will have on future developments regarding Sony products and the gaming industry as a whole. Whether you hate Sony or you're a fan, when something blows up in their face its worth talking about because it effects anyone who cares even in the slightest about gaming. Some may gloat, and others may cringe, but either way its something they care enough about to discuss, and that's why this thread should be kept alive.
Not to mention the fact it was started way back in 2006, so it has a good history to it and sees regular activity. That alone should be enough to keep it from being closed. I am glad the moderators split off the piracy and other unpleasantness and locked that instead of locking this thread. The bad stuff has been excised so the thread is a lot cleaner now, imo.
