Attempting to use the most finite numbers available, Gaming Irresponsibly tries to make dollars and cents out of what the PSN attacks will cost Sony in the United States alone.
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! Those are some bug numbers. Thanks for pointing that out!
SOOOO stupid. The cost in the USA will be next to nothing. It's including the pro package and putting all of the credit cards registered in the US PSN calculating, out of the 5.6 million card holders only about 10,000 or less would actually bother spending that much money
lame article estimating sony woudnt get charged $109 its like someone who has no idea how buisness, money work wrote this article
The only thing Sony has to pay for because of this event is for fixing and upgrading their security network, making a security network department and the welcome back program.
Now the highest costs would go to the first 2 things I mentioned and what this article talks about is completely wrong for many users, for example, I doesn't cost Sony anything in making everyone a PS Plus member and only those accounts that are used regularly would take advantage of what PS Plus offers.
Sony doesn't pay much for the stuff they give free so if 50 million free games are downloaded through PSN the most thats gonna cost Sony is around 10 million depending on the deals they make with the developers and a lot of the stuff that is on PS Plus would come directly from Sony's own studios making the cost nothing. The only cost they would pay would be for servers but they are paying for that all the time so nothing is affected.
This is all just quickly written to show in how many ways the figure in this article is not only wrong but is in completely different world to what it will actually cost.
And the amount of new people the PS Plus will attract could cover the costs easily in the future especially when this is like marketing PS Plus which they normally spend money on.
All these articles that are talking about the billions Sony has to use to fix this situation are STUPID and Sony is laughing at such a time just because these are ridiculas assumptions.
Sony's annual reports should prove my point unless they release figures which I doubt will happen.
sony is going through enough,thats alot of money that theyre loosing.but please give us our psn back soon.
