Controller Replacements Hamstring Sales

So as someone who has had a PSVR2 since shortly after launch, my usage of the headset has been greatly hampered by hardware issues. Like all Sony controllers, the PSVR2 controllers experience severe stick drift after a given amount of playtime. Everyone I know who got one eventually stopped when their hardware encountered issues, myself included. I would love nothing more than to replace it and keep on playing. But not selling the controllers separately is basically a massive middle finger to your player base. If the thing craps out on us after a few hundred hours, why would we buy more games for a piece of hardware that doesn't work? Why the HELL wouldn't you sell the controllers separate, and tie them into buying a whole new $800 headset? It's truly an insane decision, and it has massively impacted people's willingness to not only continue using your product, but to even pick it up in the first place.

Between this issue, and the sheer lack of PlayStation edge controller stick modules available to ANYONE outside of the US, I have decided to move on permanently from Sony products, and divest from the entire ecosystem. If your product lines begin to fail, and people move on from you like we did with the Xbox 360 after all the dead consoles, you will have nobody left to blame but your greedy decision making, and your sheer lack of support for your own products.

I'd say it's been a nice run, but it really hasn't been. Steam is calling, and I'm sick of getting fucked around.
