Dark Souls II players using the DualShock 4 on PS3 have reported that they've accidentally purchased content on the PS4's PSN Store, and Sony is refusing to offer a refund.
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.
Poor form, Sony, poor form. I expect this from other companies, not from you. I expect much better.
It's pathetic we can't have refunds on digital content. If this is what we can expect from an all digital future you can count me out.
At least the law in the UK has gotten with the times. Hopefully other countries will follow suite and force these companies to give us our basic consumer rights.
Don't you have to confirm a purchase?? How can you do that by accident.. but now i don't get there tale they where using the ps4 pad on the ps3 and ps4? I wouldn't give them a refund either
I play the last of us always with my ds4 nothing like this has ever happened. I mean when I have my ps4 on Stan by and I connect the controller to my ps3 in no way does it turn on the ps4. Maybe it's just a bug for a few people
Sony have a case here tbh because they have never said anything about officially supporting the DS4 on PS3 so if you go about using it you do so with the full knowledge it's not a supported controller on the system.
Having said that it's interesting what happened but really there's no fault on Sony side. I it will be hard for them to prove the legitimacy of the error.
Sony is only at fault here if they said it was officially supported and iirc I don't think they have ever said so.
I guess if this blows up enough they may be inclined to do it for good will. The thing is if they do people could abuse the method.
Hmms this is just debatable that's all!
