European Customs began seizing incoming shipments of Playstation 3 consoles in the Netherlands as LG won an injunction against Sony in a patent case regarding Blu-Ray technology. LG had also stated that it would work toward similar measures in the US and it seems that is gaining some traction.LG vs. sony
In the US, the International Trade Commission has agreed to look into the matter. Four patents are included in complaint and they cover both the PS3 and certain Bravia televisions. LG is asking to ban sale of the devices in the US market which could provide extremely detrimental to Sony’s bottom line. While this is most likely a scare tactic to get Sony to settle, their injunction win in the EU seems to have emboldened LG and seems there is some truth to their claims.
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.
WOW this is CRAZY. What does this mean for Sony?
lol whats next canada ? bwahahahahahahahahahahaha
Money lies in power and Money holds all. (that's what we've come to)
for example... there is a Nike commercial with Lebron James and he has this word on his shirt... I forget the word... but, that's not the point.. the point is this... they are promoting Nike.... Yet, at the very same time for some reason there is a tiny sprite logo or symbol in the bottom left hand side (they mention nothing about sprite)... and since Lebron is in it they are promoting the NBA.... 3 things being advertised at once... sort of subliminal like...
all the companies are interlocked... all the politicians are interlocked... why do you think "Private Companies" hardly dispose who their financial backers are.... shit like that isn't nothing new...
and Sony is a money making corporation for America... so yeah, I don't see America wanting to lose any more money at this horrible time in history...
everyone has there hand in everything... especially when we're talking the $$$ their producing.... no doubt in my mind at all.
fail... this is a fanboy using vgchartz data in his "story"... man they will do anything to try an stop the ps3 power train!!!!
Maybe I read it wrong, but it seemed odd that the article would say there seems to be some merit to LG's allegations, then quote someone saying an investigation was just starting and no determination about the merit of the case had been made. Either way, Sony apparently has their own complaint against LG, which I hadn't heard until now, so the whole thing might be a wash in the end. Only the lawyers will win, as usual.
