Sony responds to request for clarification on whether or not DC Universe Online discs are locked to a user's account. They have confirmed this to be true; discs are single-use only.
If you do not read this whole update, here's what you need to know:
* Episode 46 is Justice League Dark Cursed
* PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X launch this holiday season
WTMG's Thomas Medina: "As far as I’m concerned, console MMOs have always been in a weird place. PC is where the main game is most popular. MMOs were born there, work best there, and have the vast majority of titles. Mobile is then next in line, with touchscreens and portability that adds something new while functioning well. Console gaming, on the other hand, is not portable (for the most part). Plus, it uses a controller, which is not the best instrument when your control scheme requires a thousand buttons and a cursor. That being said, there is an audience, and where there’s money to be made, publishers find a way. So here we are with some of the biggest console MMO games and how I feel they handled 2021. "
From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
The previous report may have been based on supposition, but now there's official confirmation, which is both sad and scary.
I can go with the account being locked but to lock the disc as well just seems insane to me.
it's obviously just a shot at shutting down second hand game sales
Looool! Sony is high. Talk about 1 upping project $10.
Cannot wait to hear how those we do not speak off will try spin/defend this.
"Sony is just trying to protect their investment, would you do the same?"
"I don't care, I don't plan on selling the game anyway, it is too awesome."
"The 2nd hand market is causing developers stress and Sony is leading the fight to keep studios from closing down"
"I bet if Microsoft did it nobody would write an article about it"
Those are the best I could think off but I know they can be very creative
Forgot one:
Killzone 3...in fact someone WILL reply to this post with 'Killzone 3' and get 50 agrees lol.
"Just keep the exclusives coming SONY, thats all we care about"
This is such a bad business model. it's actually frikkin' useless... it's pretty much dead in the water.
Wow that's really shady. For 60 bucks I should own the game and be able to lend it to a friend or sell it if I want to.
