Sony doesnt have to provide their blessing. This wasnt something they sponsored, this is a localized McD thing. They bought the controllers and had them customized.
Only way sony would be involved is if they were doing the promo for McD. But they arent. There are lots of outfits that take retail controllers and customize them for customers.
What McD did wrong was using sony name as clout to promote the giveaway. They cant do that. If they just said, win a custom dualsense 5…. they would have been fine.
