Sony online entertainment went on a ban wave were they banned hundreds of users with out giving any probable cause. When consumers called into Sony online entertainment they merely were told to go out and buy the game again.
At 7000 people doing this the normal revenue sony would of made would be 105k monthly. By doing this banning and there own customer service representatives state to just go rebuy the game.
Which with all expansions would run each user about 85 dollars and a 15 dollar subscription. Totally about 100 dollars a piece. So Sony would increase the profits they made by about 7 times. Sony after multiple hours of talking to representatives still couldn't give a reason for the banning. But there own customer service member wrote. "It's not that there is no reason, it's that we do not have one immediately." For this banning wave they have done!!!
