Anonymous is staging a 24-hour, in-store boycott at Sony stores around world on Saturday, April 16. So far over 1,000 people have RSVP'd through Facebook.
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.
Decided to submit this myself with a working link
Meanwhile, at Sony HQ:

How do these people not understand that what they're fighting for is the right to steal from Sony? That at this point, instead of stoking his ego, they should be talking to Geohot to work some kind of plea-bargain? At this point Sony my as well close down the PS division if they give into crap like this.
And what are these people going to do this time? Picket Sony stores and stores selling Sony product? Stage sit-ins at Sony isles? Attack people buying Sony stuff or destroying displays? I'm certain if any of that happens Anonymous will only look good.
Anonymous needs to grow up and get on with their lives.
ALL THIS JUST SO ONE GUY CAN HACK THE PS3 FREELY. It's pathetic!
Anonymous needs to grow up and actually get a life.
"'Gamers' Plan Boycott of Anonymous's Sony Boycott on April 16"
Ill set up the facebook page and send out the RSVP's, lets show these fucks we dont want nor need them fucking up our gaming industry
Some people have too much free time on their hands. It really sad that they gone to sit in a store for hours to protest something stupid. Someone should go down there and post pics of these losers.
