What was unsurprising, was Sony's response.*IMPORTANT LINKS*Polygon Newsletter: https://www.polygon.com/pages/newsletterTikTok: tiktok.com/@polygonTwitter: http://bit.ly/PolygonTwitterInstagram: http://bit.ly/PolygonInstaFacebook: http://bit.ly/PolygonFBAnd for more gaming and entertainment coverage, visit http://www.polygon.com
