People really should have stopped buying anything Sony back with the original rootkit scandal.
Context for those who didn’t live through it: Sony intentionally compromised the PCs of its customers to install a mechanism by which to prevent music piracy. There’s a lot more to it but you can read about here:

Either go indie or start pirating shit. Wanted to play Fallout the other day, but Microsoft/Bethesda just broke all the mods on PC for an update that doesn't really do anything on PC. Had to get an older pirate copy to play a game I legit purchased. At some point, I just gave up.
