PSBlog: Some of you may have heard today about an announcement from Sony Online Entertainment confirming that they were also victims of a malicious hack. As this could affect those of you with SOE accounts, they have asked us to post their press release on the blog, which should answer some of your questions.
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
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.
I wish I could understand a bit of programming in order to understand how someone can enter a big corporation server and steal information.
Makes me wonder how really secure are our details in public offices storages like government servers.
Still, SONY has BALLS coming out publicly and admit the intrusions. Some companies might be victims of this and they dont even know about it or simply dont expose the situation to their customers.
they didnt want to say anything. they are only coming out with this because they are already in trouble from the psn hack. i just hope they deleted my DC credit card when i canceled it.
they need to turn the network on already.
"While the passwords that were stored were not 'encrypted,' they were transformed using a cryptographic hash function. There is a difference between these two types of security measures which is why we said the passwords had not been encrypted," wrote Sony spokesman Patrick Seybold today. "But I want to be very clear that the passwords were not stored in our database in cleartext form."

What people have to realize is that PSN didnt get hacked because it was a free service. Its because of all the battles that Sony has had with the hackers in the past. So its only normal that the attack the network.
I always enjoy backing up my claims with evidence and i shall prove that even if you pay for a service it is still liable to get hacked.

Any online network can be hacked its a risk the consumer has to take when they use one of these services.
