A brief article outlining the common misconceptions behind recent discoveries and events surrounding the PlayStation network.
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.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Very interesting read and cleared up a few bits of information put out in the last few days. I had a hard time believing the 3rd parties banning other users article.
Everyone needs to read this.
Very informative
thank god about the banning legitimate users bit,i was afraid this'll have a very bad effect on Sony
Let hackers ban themselves
Kind of a very basic overview and doesn't even go into mentioning that Sony has IDS/IPS implemented to detect "spoofed" data, which is a huge hurdle for anyone to overcome when trying to bypass PSN security.
It does address the important fact that while people say they can do something in theory, it doesn't mean they have the necessary information to do as such. In this case, they still haven't broken the security protocols that Sony utilizes.
Furthermore, the strange thing here is that hackers are claiming this as something they can do with the PS3, yet the exact same thing could be said of Xbox 360 bans. The way that they ban consoles are exactly the same in theory, meaning it's on the end of the network that allows you to connect online. If this was something so easy to do, we would have already have seen this happen on the 360.
Essentially, this is just idiot hackers - I really wouldn't call them that in the first place - trying to put more bad press on the PS3. Hackers hate what Sony is doing, which is fighting them for modifying Sony IP and preventing the installation of illegal software, and we've seen more worthless news on "Hackers ruin the lives of everyone who doesn't hack on the PS3" just to keep drumming up bad press for the PS3 and make it seem like you should never log onto the PSN again.
It's childish, IMHO.
very informative must read for all
