   People at Sony don't understand freedom of choice and how it can benefit both customers and themselves. And it's just sad.

     I don't know if it's their Japanese culture, their corporate culture, both... but they're too obsessed with the fragility of software, ideas, their intellectual property. So much so, that the cover of their actual code of conduct (yes, they have one) is dedicated to the value of their reputation and brand, in a booklet where they claim that "Sony’s intellectual property is one of Sony’s most valuable assets and it differentiates us from our competitors".

     "We will all work together to protect Sony’s intellectual property such as our patents, designs, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀."

     By filling their clients' throats with DRM, shitty restrictions, denying you the chance to modify your Sony devices, and so on.

     They're so terrified that ideas and software are easily reproducible, they hurt themselves every single time by putting barriers, limiting their value.

     It's just sad. Really, really sad. They're still amazing at creating innovative products for both consumers and creators. They still offer stuff that nobody else does. And I can see a glimpse of genuine good intentions. I can see that there's actual human beings who are passionate and care for the people they're working for behind it all.

     But they're just stuck being Sony, apparently.
