So apart from the lack of evidence and data proving the point, correlation ≠ causation.

Unless you can demonstrate that no other factors (increase in repos, increase in usage overall, etc.) are involved, your statement is a biased opinion, not a fact.

Edit: since you opted to throw XBOXLive into the mix in an edit, what did Sony change? https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/27/22304492/sony-playstation...

Not agreeing with his points, but funnily enough, I think Sony does use Azure.

exactly, Sony got pressured to migrate to Azure, even for their game streaming services

what's funny is they got the downtime, right after XBOX got his

almost like if someone was jealous and wanted them to be "equal"

but people won't like this "idea", maybe a little too much "conspiracy theory", i'll agree, my comment should get flagged, or i shouldn't have hit the "reply" button, but it's too late i guess

That's Playstation Now, their streaming service.

All I could find about PSN is that they moved away from AWS [1] in North America.
