    TIL. But I’d like to know what exactly the damage was?

    Now I’m wondering if all the problems I had with DS4s is related to Sony doing shady shit.

    I still have a DS4 which will sometimes work via Bluetooth and sometimes not.

      It’s financial damage, by intentionally causing third party controllers to be unusable when they otherwise work just fine. This gave the manufacturers a consumer impression of being shit when, again there was nothing wrong with the hardware.

      The damage is the frequent disconnections on 3rd party controllers due to a system update which Sony claims was for combating Counterfeit controllers. I didn’t find anything else.
