In what appears to be an email, sent to Danish news site Newz.dk, from a messenger within Anonymous or at least somebody claiming to be, it states that Anonymous has not been stealing any information from PSN.
A selection from the letter sent to Newz.dk:
"First and foremost, we will ensure all users of the PSN, we are not and never will collect credit information from end users of PSN. In fact, the end users has never been our goal. This is a poor excuse from Sony, which has enabled them to obtain information about anonymous members. Which has led to the arrests of 40 anonymous members now considered to be in the FBI's custody..."
Read the whole article and letter from Anonymous after the jump!
In general: Remember to take everything you read in the case between Sony and Anonymous with a grain of salt and be careful not to jump to too many conclusions, since much of it is still rumor and speculation, despite the fact that Sony has officially been out and tell a part at this time.
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
So they say they didn't steal user data, well that sounds like they are admitting they had something to do with the attacks then. If they were going to hold the stance they didn't do this they wouldn't need to say they didn't steal our info. Way to go anonymous, you openly admitted to causing this. Now, I'm off to buy portal 2 since I have completed MK's story and Socom's single player. Thanks for the offline game time. Douches.
ANOTHER confession. Congratz, kids.
I'd believe you if you were not an "organization" with no real chain of command.Just because some in the group says one does not mean it speaks for Anonymous as a whole.
Do you think us in Denmark will fucking believe your shit??
40 members arrested!
I thought these guys couldn't be found. Not so anonymous
