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.
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
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
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.
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!
