While some users responded to the announcement by saying they won’t miss the service, others expressed disappointed and concern over Sony’s decision. “Well that’s a terrible solution,” wrote @ncbjd. “Setting up barriers between you and your customers is never the way to go.” “This is sad,” said @Shadowakito. “I’ve always found Ask PlayStation support to be really helpful the few times I’ve had to reach out to them. I guess we’re moving into an age where customer service isn’t important to the big companies anymore.” Notice: To display this embed please allow the use of Functional Cookies in Cookie Preferences. Others commenters were less bothered by the news. “Your support is awful,” said @stevensstash. “I chat you, and it says to call. I call and it says to chat. I tweet you and you say to call. I went through this 2 hour circus to replace my controller.” “This changes nothing,” said @Guyatthestore. “Support tickets will still be laughed at, just that others on Twitter can’t comment on it anymore.” “It’s weird how many reactions to this seem to ignore the increase of harassment that devs and other people have been mentioning lately,” wrote @nothingandtweet. “Do you think this support channel isn’t getting a bunch of harassment too?” PlayStation’s Twitter support accounts had a busy day on Tuesday after PlayStation Network issues disrupted several services. The PlayStation Store, PSN account management, and gaming and social features all suffered outages. The disruption to the services coincided with the release of the highly anticipated Stray, the launch of the MultiVersus open beta, and the latest PlayStation Plus games refresh.
