Sony posted a follow-up Q&A yesterday that carried a few bits of good news. I guess the news isn’t good, but it’s not as terrible as the news they’ve been revealing lately, so that’s a change for the better.

According to the post, all trophies, friend lists, settings, download history, and PSN+ cloud saves will be intact and available for all users once the network comes back.

In addition, Sony makes passing mention of a “goodwill gesture” that will be extended to Free Realms / DC Universe Online / PlayStation Network / Qriocity users to compensate for the downtime. They don’t give any hints as to what that will be, but merely state that they are “evaluating ways to show appreciation for your extraordinary patience” for the time being.

There’s also a curt “Thank you for your continued feedback” at the end, which made me giggle. I’m sure they’re loving the feedback right about now.

They provide a free network service and everyone wants compensation, Unless your paying for PSN plus you shouldn’t be complaining.

i agree with Nick although i don’t use PSN plus, i do use free PSN. im not complaining about anything here and still love playstation like i always have. just saying that PSN plus users have lost a lot more personal data than free users, soo yeah.

@Josh “$100 after having our identities stolen” im pretty sure Sony doesn’t have my Social Security number, so no one can lose their identity because of this. And im sorry if you lost your identity somehow because of this, but if you think your identity is worth only $100, you are a sad person, you should go live in a cardboard box on the street if you aren’t already
