With the release of a major new patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 on December 3rd, the continued Beta for Red Dead Redemption 2 Online and all of the other video game adventures that players can enjoy on the Sony console, the current situation that has left players unable to enjoy these experiences has many players voicing their frustrations on social media with even a hashtag being created to signal the issues that the community is currently experiencing with the online service for the popular console. 

Dear Sony, this 1 to 2 time a month maintenance would have been acceptable when online was free, but when I and millions of others, pay you 60 dollars a year, we expect your service to FUCKING WORK. #psndown #psn
