"It has been six months since Sony launched their massively multiplayer online shooter MAG and as with many online games, time has started to dwindle their numbers. MAG fan and Kotaku reader JG Mills wrote to us to ask: 'How long will Zipper & Sony support the MAG servers as their user numbers are dropping?'...The short answer, from Sony Computer Entertainment of America, is: 'There are still lots of people playing MAG, so there are no plans to alter support of the servers.'"
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.
they should
I like this game and I still play it from time to time
and it got great community
I just like how most winners (mostly sever) shoot in the air as soon as they win
when you look at the sky at that time it just feels so good
like some kind of a this big space war just went on
lol
damn, i still gotta try this game out.
One of the best Tactical Shooters online. Team gameplay is the way to win. Along with BFBC2, is just matter to play right in the squads.
I've gotten about six games since I bought mag but I usually play it two to three times more often than anything else.
I love having a leadership position and altering the entire flow of a battle for an entire dom match.
Heh...I could not stay committed to it more then a couple of weeks. Good for them. A horrible lack of teamwork, nobody uses their mics, fragfest, maps were horribly unbalanced. Perhaps they fixed some of that but I dont wait for a game to be patched to the proper standards nor should any gamer be expected to. I still own it so I guess there is always a chance I could give it another chance. Doubtful though.
