It wasn’t so long ago that Sony was known as the bad guy of the video game world. It’s quite a feat when one of the chief players in a games space is Microsoft, and yet Sony’s gaming team earned it the nickname “the Evil Empire.” Years of anti-consumer moves – from removing features across platforms to security breaches to forcing proprietary formats – will do that.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
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.
How? How were they ever "evil?"
They took crap for selling an $800 console at $600 and taking away Other OS because of open declarations of piracy, not having rumble on htier controllers for a while because of how stupidly they handled a lawsuit, and have never been forgiven for any of it - until recently? - but they have never been "evil."
Evil da fark??Sony is the only company thats pushing boundaries with games.Even this late in a Gen.
Someon give this man some help pronto.
Not to mention they gave all PS users free games and a free month trial after being hacked.They didnt have to but they went out of there way to do it after being haacked.
