QJ.net: If you've been following the Vita scene for a bit, you're probably well aware that the system just received a firmware update to version 1.81.
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.
damn you $ony, i would agree with you if VHBL allowed to pirate any of your games.
almost nobody will use PSMobile since it completely sucks, it has limits everywhere, even the amount of RAM allowed to be used is so tiny, how do sony expect people to develop anything if we cant use the full power of the PSVita?!!
"Sure we all loved the idea of Playstation Plus finally making it to the portable space, but what about that little snippet regarding "automatic software updates?""
Considering that 'option' is already on PS+ for PS3, you guys just keep proving that you want to manipulate ANYTHING at all costs.
Good for you Sony. Developer won't invest their time and money into a system that is easily hackable. It is a constant battle trying to patch holes that hackers create...just because the exploit doesn't allow pirated games to run at this moment doesn't mean that the exploit is harmless. It weakens the ecosystem and the Vita needs as much bolstering as possible.
I understand some people may want the Vita hacked to run emulators or other home brew, but it's a very slippery slope. It won't stop with just that, it will eventually lead to vita games being pirated. Sony released PS Mobile for a super cheap $99 for developers to create all kinds of legal home brew. We need to look at the psp. Hacking will be bad in the long run. I love my Vita and it has so much life ahead of it, so let's not cut it short by losing developer support.
Sony rocks!
