It's funny... no matter how much dreadful news there is ("Did you know the governor of Michigan was almost kidnapped by violent rednecks?" "Oh, is it Thursday already?"), and how weary I get from it all, there's always just a little more outrage left in the tank, which gives me the fuel I need to complain about it.

So it goes with the recent announcement that Sony will be pulling all of its legacy systems from the Playstation Store. You won't be able to purchase PS3, PSP, or PS Vita games from your computer, and while you'll still have the option to buy them from the stores built into the systems, this decision will make it less convenient. It's also a symbolic disavowal of these machines. Any move Sony makes to distance itself from its previous generation console and its two handhelds will make it easier for the company to abandon them completely later... and with the PS5 in the wings, they're obviously eager to do just that.
If you were dragging your feet on hacking your PS3 or PS Vita for homebrew, this news should provide adequate motivation to get that done. Sony clearly doesn't care anymore; why should you?
