    Idk I remember a time when Sony was the least bad guy. Back when ps3 came out, you didn’t need a subscription for online play, and you could actually browse the web (poorly, but, somebody tried. I remember when my laptop shit the bed and I used my ps3 to submit an assignment on blackboard in 2008). I thought that was pretty cool. Not that Sony was good; the profit motive was there, and the second they saw Xbox requiring a subscription for online play, you best believe they built plus overnight. But, there was a time when good people got good ideas snuck past bad company management I guess.

      Sony included literal viruses with their music CDs in the 90s that exploited your computer when you inserted the disk to disable burning CDs.
