I assume there will have to be some compensation? Some games that come out around the time of the outage will probably never attract the amount of online players they otherwise would have.



Compensation for whom then?


Compensation from Sony to the game makers. I agree, quite a few newly launched titles on the PS3 are likely to suffer loss of sales that will never be recovered. Like how a movie that makes most of it's money on the opening weekend.


Have you ever read the EULA for a proprietary platform? Not only do they disclaim liabilities, they also threaten to take a kidney & first born should you so much as dare think about holding them responsible.


Legal agreements between companies for material contracts look nothing like an EULA.


Hence it being an End User License Agreement.
