The personal data of each player they do coerce into signing into PSN is far more lucrative than said game sales. Sony is into gaming as much as Santa is into manufacturing toys, FFS. π€¦π½ββοΈ
Except it isn't. On average you can make a couple bucks extra on each person.
But if they don't try to double dip, that's a couple bucks left on the table, and that's worse than death, apparently.
Nevermind that by trying to double dip they lose money in the short run, but if they can push the standard practice towards it even half a step, that's fine.
It's one of the few things corporations seem to be able to see the long view on.
Assuming you're not high as balls, please cite your sources. Additionally, by implying that each individual "person" is not already commodified as a body of data in a collection of similar is woefully naive. I know it's a common desire to weigh in on topics and feel that one's contribution is valid and worthy, but please look into this subject further before pulling sentences like these outta your ass. π€ͺ
Beyond addressing your actual retort, could you have resisted being rude? "Naive" and idiot emojis?
Not to mention the hypocrisy of "look into it before pulling shit out your ass" when that's exactly what you did, in response to which I commented because I do actually have an idea of the numbers involved.
Lastly, trying to shut someone down by asking for sources without bothering to check them yourself first, to make sure you're not the one incorrectly assuming the facts will back you up... I could throw those first and last sentences of yours right back at you, word for word.
