It sounds like PlayStation 4 has been and will be a more profitable piece of hardware for Sony than PlayStation 3.
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.
So they're going to sell the PS4 without a loss unlike the PS3 launch?? I heard the PS3 used to cost them 800$ to produce
good for Sony to do this, and good for gamers. I believe Sony will be even more generous with "indie" game developers that want to put games on the psn.
It paid off in the long run though, Blu-Ray beat HD-DVD to become the HD Disc based format, Sony make royalties off every Blu-Ray sold :)
(Yes I know Sony isn't the only member of the BDA, but my comment is in reference to just them)
Considering blu ray tech is extremely cheap now and they aren't using the cell. I can see the ps4 not selling at a high price
I'm getting sick of all these articles now just sell me the damn thing already!!!!
