I mean, not always. They mostly did away with bullshit proprietary connectors, did away with their proprietary flash memory cards, and didn't form a walled garden as putrid as that of Apple.

That being said, nothing is the same anymore. Digital everything will take over, because it's just cheaper to not burn disks.

Uuuhm, not quite. The Playstation ecosystem absolutely is a walled garden. Their proprietary flash memory cards aren't a thing anymore because they failed to win against more open standards (SD, microSD) and it would've been super expensive to stick with it on their own for no good reason.

They installed those rootkits out of the goodness of their hearts, dammit, they cared about us the whole time and we never showed our appreciation and now look where it got us

Maybe David Manning of the Ridgefield Press can write a story about how unfairly maligned Sony is.
