Political reasons =/= actual bad actors.

The person you're replying to made a case that a person with outsized influence is creating media to stir resentment for attention and your conclusion is "political reasons".

The word "political" always ends up meaning "don't talk about reactionaries throwing rocks"

You're moving the goalpost. I get that many people view Vincent Bolloré as a bad guy.

But him being a "far-right actor" or whatever that means doesn't excuse Sony's anti-consumer actions in the slightest, that's completely missing the point, and turning things political for no reason. And also a logical falacy.

It indeed looks like consumers felling deceived when they thought they purchased something is a possible liability.

I'm sure the studio will watch the fallouts with amusement, waiting for them to come back

However, dealing with that kind of free market big business loving buster is still a huge business risk that requires management and negotiations. I can get it if Sony limits their business risks at some point, even if the severance initially costs them.

it would be so fun to be an insider to these negotiations

I wasn't defending the sony action, more defending the take you replied to.
