Sony PR: PS4 No DRM Campaign 'Working Pretty Well'

[Rekkapryde]

Can't wait for E3. Some fanboys will be looking really stupid after the full fukkery is unleashed. I'm more excited for the fanboy wars than the console wars.

How? Probable scenario is leaving it up to publishers and that will then make EA look like the a$$holes instead of them. See how EA left MS hanging right?

*sells 360s on craigslist

*gets $37 for it

What kind of secret did they tell that dude?

 

[Rekkapryde]

All EA or Activision has to do is say "we gon take our talents to South Beach Microsoft

We'll see how effective this online "petition" is going to work,

What are people going to do if both do it? flock to WiiU?

Newsflash, they aint leavint hundreds of millions of dollars on the table to support a system that will primarily just sell well in the states.

Nice try though.

this. EA is too money hungry to ditch the ps4 and the rest of the world. that would be suicide.

Many people don't think before they speak. They would basically abandon Europe and Japan if they did that. EA dumped SEGA because they knew the juggernaut that the PS2 was about the become and the Dreamcast died shortly after

How is that somebody is going to be wrong, probably dead ass wrong, and will look like retards. I'm reserving judgment until E3, all the fanboy/stan fukkery is comedy

Current gen :-

You put a disc in your console. You go the dashboard and press play game.

You go to your boys house. Same deal.

Next generation:-

You put a disc in your console. you spend 20 mins getting through loops to play it.

You put a disc in your boys console :- it spits it out and says "FCUK YOU, PAY ME!"

simple enough?

Is that how Sony/M$ said it was gonna go down? Any links explaining it all? I feel like there's more to the story.

Drm = you can buy it but you dont really own it

You cant sell or trade it as you please without us getting a percentage, this is fukked up mainly because there wont be a used game market, or any real alternative than to pay full price on every game released. Imagine paying 60 for a 3 year old game

Even worse....what they are also trying to do is say you cant even let someone borrow it with us getting a percentage


Current consoles dont have this, and I refuse to buy one that does, its wrong.

Sony really finding the balance of business and public relations this gen. From making a developer friendly system to actually considering the pleas of the consumer.

You think standard issue thanks fans we hear you messages mean anything? When I was a child on punishment and I wanted to go outside and play my mom heard me beg her to let me do so. I still didn't get to leave the house.

The company is purposely straddling the fence on this issue. I'd rather Microsofts clear indicators of where things are headed than Sony letting Microsoft take the heat for the direction the industry is headed all the while saying virtually nothing.

The only company that has taken a hard stance on this is Nintendo. We all know their position on it.

If they go forward with this DRM shyt they're going to get the shyt h@cked out of their console. Them and Microsoft.

If the publishers unite against a system in its infancy they can squash it before it reaches the level you're talking about. People aren't gonna go out and mindlessly buy Playstation just because they live in place x with none of the marquee franchises available especially at launch prices. If EA says we're Xbox exclusive from now on the fans will follow them if they want their games. I'm not saying it will happen but in the early goings these publishers have more influence that many think.

Digital rights management (DRM) is a class of controversial technologies that are used by hardware manufacturers, publishers, copyright holders, and individuals with the intent to control the use of digital content and devices after sale.

Yet nobody complaining about PSN content not being able to transfer over to ps4 even though they already got ps1 & ps2 games compatible. Just not for free, they wanna charge you again like how Nintendo does
I personally could give a siit about all this because I don't rely on second hand games. I don't have to borrow my friends copy, I don't use gamefly. I know I don't speak for everyone, but I'm not the minority either. We'll be at the point where downloading games is more popular than physical copies before this Gen is over. Most of you don't realize that

It's still not confirmed, they might be playing poker with EA to pay them off.
Please let this be true

Yeah, I read the same propaganda. What did EA really have that Dreamcast would miss Sega's 2K franchise >>> Madden & Live at the time, Sega wasn't slouching on games. The supposed reason is illogical

Which means what exactly? Apple is just now being granted patents on technology from the first iPhone.

Companies don't have to wait for patents in order to release technology. As long as they file first.

It means suck my dikk bytch nikka
