So that's it? You can just make a blanket declarative statement the only reason this can happen is because is someone is incompetent?
I'm sure every time you make a mistake its because youre incompetent too then.

In terms of rolling out changes into a production environment that cause damage and make headlines? Yeah, any time I do that that's absolutely because of my incompetence.

PS5 New UI Update Also Brought Ads You Can't Turn Off and Unwanted Forced News Feed to Select Titles
Sony's PS5 update that brought in the Welcome Hub seems to have also implemented forced ads and news feeds you cannot turn off completely.mp1st.com
If anyone else in here is a designer, did you also look at these and think... Who the fuck designed these? We're these put together by a junior designer with no oversight? It honestly looks like a fake thing because look at it...
There is text in the background images aka ads that are being covered by UI elements and copy/text... it looks wrong. If would like to imagine that a creative brief for this outlined the live area you could design in, so you wouldn't have important information being covered up by UI elements and copy/text overlays... unless Sony/PlayStation are really that incompetent when it comes to design. Like if you're designing an iOS app you wouldn't have any important elements that could be hidden by the dynamic island.

People complained about a nonsense issue and now psn is down, thanks a lot everyone!
I say that sort of half joking, but in all seriousness this is unacceptable from Sony. Looking at posts here it's been down for 3ish hours. For a service that requires you to pay to use it. This should basically never happen. Doesn't seem to be a certain regional issue either but worldwide.

So this is where we’re discussing the outage? Did Verizon ever get back up? Seems kinda weird for two huge networks to go down the same day? Solar Flares? Hack to make to get us dumb Americans off our phones and off our TVs in one day?

I also noticed quite a few promo images on the PS Store were very low resolution. Like a tiny image stretched out.

I knew people would turn this into some “conspiracy “ after the fix. Get a freaking life some of you and fuck off.
Software bugs can happen all the time. Look at other major companies and car companies who have to pull back major firmware updates. This was a serverside fix.

To be fair, given the current drama surrounding Playstation and given how slow they are to give updates about what they're doing in general, it's pretty easy to have a knee jerk reaction about something like this.

Sure, but a lot of the drama is drummed up by the same people that then use it as a justification to go on knee jerk reactions. It is the perfect circle
.Assume the worst, constant arrogant / greedy Sony paranoia, focus on the worst side of the worst rumours, and then use the above as launchpad for situations like this (further conspiracy theory castles).

But it does happen, to Sony, to Microsoft, to Nintendo, to Google, to Amazon, to Apple.... You get my point

I do believe this was just a bug. But I'm also glad the net went nuts about it - nice reminder to PlayStation. All good.

His evil plan didn't work.
What a coincidence that the ads were in high resolution.

They're designed to be high res but as part of the feed you scroll down on. Not sure what you mean there.

Do we still have those screenshots replacing game art, or have we gone back to circa 2020, the golden age?
