E3 was a bit of a surprise for those of us watching the Sony Conference this year. With constant worries regarding game authentication in the battle of corporation versus consumer, many gamers across the globe were worried that the pre-owned market would cease to exist. So when Jack Tretton came out on stage, stating that Sony were fully supporting the rights of their consumers to buy, sell, lend and trade the next generation of games, the crowd literally gave a standing ovation.
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.
It's gonna be great, no doubt about it. Planning my launch day ritual now. ^_^
And as for the article's part about PS+ and backwards compatibility, Gaikai is supposed to give BC, and I personal believe that PS+ is more than worth the price of admission. I get to play so many games I never would've thought about or looked at before. It's great.
