After some negative response to the paltry list of old titles, Sony pointed out that it's hard to please everyone. Unfortunately, they could have chosen a much better solution to this problem.
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.
Yes that is the way they should have done it or nothing at all. They are only pissing off loyal costumers with this welcome back offer.
"$40 and $60"
wow thats actually a lot of money for that many accounts. I mean i say there are around 40 million active user accounts that are on separate devices like PSP and PS3. Sony is already spending a ton of money of credit card protection and other stuff like for their MMO subscription games.
I guess people will complain about anything.
PS+ Stuff
btw people talking about the Killzone 3 DLC. It went on the PS+ store for free April 19th, which means it was just one week before PSN went down.
I bet when PS Store comes back up it will still be there. It'll be for one month yeah, but at least your still getting a bunch of free stuff even if its timed.
Crash Commando is also free.
in a way we are getting a lot of free games when the store goes up, even if half of them are gonna be timed.
we are also gonna get a bunch of free avatars
this was the last PS+ update
http://blog.us.playstation....
i'm sure we are gonna see a bunch of that stuff back soon.
They should have gone with the credits. Even if they were discounted on the publishers' end, it would still be perfect for both sides. $40 in PSN credits could equal $30 in real money, or even less. I'm sure developers wouldn't mind a small discount.
So...psn goes down
the internet rages...
sony offers free psn+ for a month
the fanboys rage more...
sony offers a massive package of free stuff for a free service
Now we are getting articles that have the opinion that Sony should just give us psn credit. To every single account.
At 40 dollars per account that costs Sony 3080000000
At 60 dollars per account that costs Sony 4620000000
Between 3.08 to 4.62 BILLION dollars!
So this is my question for anyone who wants this money: Do you want Sony to stay in the videogame business?
and one more
How much free stuff do you think MS would have given you, if any?
You guys are awfully greedy aren't you?
