This new branch will assumedly be handling all network related functions, including all account info. Just a heads up, they’re transfering your account info, wallet, and billing information assuming you agree to the new TOS Version 9.
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.
Does it add any hints to cross chat? Or is that still just a Sony fans pipedream?
Interesting. Wonder what changes will be made to the service or if any new features will be added.
I really wonder exactly what this means. New features in the making? Servers being handled by SNEA just for the PSStore to increase online play in other games (or opposite)?
Or maybe it's as basic as it looks and there is no need to look into it.
Anyways, I guess we'll just wait to find out more of everything at E3.
Network related functions hmmmmm.
@ ShadyDevil .Could we for the love of cake STOP the cross game chat talk please. Cross game chat sounds like the rudest thing I have ever heard. Why in the hell would I want my friend to talk to me while I am trying to work as a team in KZ3, survive a fire fight in UC2 or destroy Zeus in GOW3? Is everyone so desperate for friends or conversation? God you people are like broken records.
@ Stealthdawg cross game chat is NOT the most important thing we need right now.There are several things that are more important then cross game chat e.g.a better browser that need to be implemented. Stop acting like it is some crucial game changing element that we cannot do without.
