Why the F would they pay taxes if the laws makes it possible not to pay any. When you go shopping do you ask the cashier if you can pay some extra tax?
It really makes you think how people were giving them shit for cancelling their PAX appearance even to the point of saying they don't have anything to show or they're hiding something. Good to see a corporation act humane for once
Which will never be enough for many people because he just has even more money. Simple Google search shows they've donated 36 billion as of 2018. Incoming defending billionaires.
Great by Sony, especially given they have the imaging tech as well that the medical industry benefits from. Hope they continue to make smart and proactive decisions with their own employees and contractors going forward as well. Savings lives > short-term gains.
Sony has been superb in how they've carried themselves during this pandemic. With their pro-activeness in pulling out of events for employee safety, as well enabling their employees and contractors to work from home and getting resources they need.
This $100 million gesture is amazing. That's no small amount.

This is great as well since alot of people are impacted in different ways.
Sony are market leaders for this generation of gaming, so it's good to see them being at the forefront to help people during the current global health crisis? Also:
Very well done by Sony. They reacted really quick (canceling their PAX and GDC appearance early) even tho people gave them shit for it.
Then this:
NA/EU PlayStation Employees will continue to work from home until at least April 30th, workers paid regardless if they can do remote work or not.
Didn't see a thread on this but good news. And in another tweet says as far as he knows it extends to the WWS teams as well.www.resetera.com
And now this:
Sony Establishes $100 Million COVID-19 Global Relief Fund
Tokyo, Japan - Sony Corporation today announced the establishment of the “Sony Global Relief Fund for COVID-19,” a 100 million US dollar fund to support those around the world affected by the COVID-19 virus.www.sony.net
They are handling this "world crisis" the best they can. Just awesome.
Sony has somehow been constantly ahead of the curve in this, and their response is what more companies should aspire to.
Yep. They did an fantastic job. And they were one of the first. Well done Sony.
Would be a lot more useful to have it for PS4 and Pro. There's literally over a hundred million of them out there.
True, but I've heard the PS4/Pro's CPU isn't that good for that sort of thing, at least compared to the PS3.
It might not be relatively as good, but in absolute terms the Pro especially is much more powerful than PS3. And in this kind of use numbers matter a lot too, and there are already more PS4s out there than there ever were PS3s.
PS5 will bring a power bump, but the architecture will be much closer to PS4 than PS3, and the install base will start from zero. It will take some time before the PS5 install base can exceed the distributed computing power of the PS4 install base, even with more powerful hardware.
