Plenty of people might not even remember this, but in 2011 the PlayStation Network suffered a security breach that led to almost a month of PSN hiccups; everything from frequent disconnects to the service going totally offline for long stretches of time. As an apology, Sony offered free games to those affected. I’m not talking Nom Nom Galaxy, PS+ free games, I’m talking Infamous and Little Big Planet free games. The good stuff. The thing is, not everyone who claimed to be affected by the outage was reimbursed properly, and a class action lawsuit followed.
Here we are, five years later, and the whole thing is finally seeing some closure. I have no idea why it took so long – the legal mumbo jumbo doesn’t mean much to me – but I do know that it means free stuff for many of you. According to GamesRadar , if you filed a claim between January and August of last year, you should see your chosen game or PSN credit in your inbox any time now. Now we can finally put this whole thing behind us and complain about things that actually matter, like launch-day reviews of The Division .
