Hello. I believe this is because this account was created recently. Yesterday to be more exact. But I do not worry about that. My focus is to continue the legacy of the best place to play.

I will do my best to continue the excellent work done by Mr. @AndyHousePS . About the issue of "Games as a Service", do not worry about it. @PlayStation's vision is totally different.
