Sony was hella smart getting out of trouble from lawsuits by changing their policy! Another great article...

blumatt4628d ago

It was awfully sly of them. haha I can't blame them though cause I'd do the same thing. People try to sue these big companies like Sony and MS for every little thing they can get away with. America needs to improve their lawsuit requirements. You should NOT be able to sue McDonalds for spilling their hot coffee on you. That's just ridiculous!

Anyway, I can't wait for the Vita. It's gonna be my new favorite device, and I'm getting the iPhone 5 as well, but I can see myself using the Vita more.

coryok4628d ago

anyone can sue anyone for anything in the US, companies sue people wrongly all the time. the point is that they go to court to find out who is wrong.

just because you get sued doesnt mean you loose anything, in most cases people counter-sue for their lawyers legal fees and the person who conjured up the lawsuit ends up paying whomever it is that they sued.

Grimhammer004628d ago

So much to the hot coffee mcD incident you don't know.

astar1234567894627d ago

for the mcdonalds thing, watch a documentary call hot coffee on hbo she had 3rd degree burns because there coffee maker was broken, and the coffee was over 200 degrees, you can thank people like you how dont know there hand from....

theonlylolking4628d ago

Very similar but still not as crazy.

meganick4628d ago

"Sony" adopts Apple's business model. There, I fixed the headline.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

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.

exputers25d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken24d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing24d ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H924d ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola24d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66924d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle24d ago

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 Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg25d ago

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.

Profchaos25d ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola25d ago

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
