Streisand effect will ensure Samsung is remembered for their exploding phones, just as Sony is remembered for their root-kit.
At best it doesn't become worse, but I can see this suddenly popping up in other games as there is a good incentive - guaranteed viral video.
- veli_joza 10y agoThe non-technical users are oblivious on Sony's rootkit fiasco and other DRM-related insults against customers (remember OtherOS for PS3?). On the other hand, Samsung's Note brand is pretty much ruined and Samsung phone/tablet division will have hard time recovering from this. The other day I was on a flight and we were warned to report any Samsung Note 7 device on board as they pose danger for airplane safety. This was after we went through security control where such device would be detected and dealt with. This isn't going away anytime soon.
