"Sony waits for a week to tell us that the intrusion into their Playstation Network has compromised the personal information, including billing information, of all subscribers?"
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.
Accounts get compromised in every other online retailers here and there.
I think people are blowing this out of proportion but still its unfortunate.
The only thing im mad about is that SONY didnt tell us earlier that personal info was compromised.
Hey...the higher number of accounts compromised, the lesser the chance of my info being actually used by the hackers...right? :/
Well in reality it's more like 15-20 million unique accounts compromised.
Thats bad, cant even use the classic line “you shouldn’t have ur CC info on it anyway, thats common sense”, nothing else I can say its just bad, even more how sony handled the situation, however going by the post that says it sony didn’t say that the details where compromised and they didn’t say they weren’t, they just say they don’t know and it could have happened (which is obvious since the hackers who did this got the admin accounts)
Accounts compromised unfortunately happen all the time in this day and age, but the real problem here is the fact Sony WAITED one week to tell its subscribers that their accounts WERE compromised. Thats the real problem.
What the hell was Sony thinking NOT to inform users about this when it happened...and waited almost a full week to do so. That's plain wrong.
