"Thanks to Sony's heavy handed tactics, popular game importer Lik-Sang is closing its doors.
All Lik-Sang customers are having their orders cancelled and refunded.
Any attempt to place a new order redirects your web browser to the news
of Lik-Sang's demise."
From the announcement: "'Today is Sony
Europe victory about PSP, tomorrow is Sony Europe's ongoing pressure
about PlayStation 3. With this precedent set, next week could already
be the stage for complaints from Sony America about the same thing, or
from other console manufacturers about other consoles to other regions,
or even from any publisher about any specific software title to any
country they don't see fit. It's the beginning of the end... of the
World as we know it', stated Pascal Clarysse, formerly known as the
Marketing Manager of Lik-Sang.com. 'Blame it on Sony. That's the latest
dark spot in their shameful track record as gaming industry leader. The
Empire finally won, a few dominating retailers from the UK probably
will rejoice the news, but everybody else in the gaming world lost
something today.'"
Many thanks to Sony for ruining it for the rest
of us. I hope that your business model makes up for the customer
goodwill you're setting on fire today. Now where am I going to put my down payment on a Wii
