Link?

I just remember the numerous articles about devs and publishers bytching about the used game market this gen.

Resident insider CBOAT on Neogaf confirmed it. He even leaked the possibility of PS4 online not being free anymore. :to:

that nikka has been spot on the whole time... :wow:

I just hope he doesn't get exposed.


Say what you want about Gaf, but them nikkaz got the scoop. :yeshrug:

The Sony conference made you belive there would be no used games blocking or Drm on their machine period.

This is not true if a publisher wants to block used games or force drm on ps4 they can. Same with Xbox.

The 24 hour check in has nothing to do with used games it's only there to make sure you aren't installing the same disc on a bunch of different systems.

Sony losing hard the last few days :laff:

worst thing is they tried to sneak in all these little negatives instead of just coming out and saying it straight up like microsoft

Shows how much respect they have for Playstanleys and how intelligent they regard their customers

Can I just say... you guys posting this shyt like it's about console wars got it backwards. If you don't care then you don't care, that's fine. But if you DO care, DON'T buy games that have DRM. We can't tell these companies we don't want DRM but then turn around and buy the shyt acting like our hands are tied. SMH. This ain't about Sony or Microsoft alone. This is really about EA and Activision having their way with the industry like they own it. They can do it because they know when they don't put Madden on a console - that console dont sell. When they don't put COD on a console - that console dont sell. And then on top of that they releasing the same shyt you bought last year and you still eat it up when you could just be playing the one you already paid for.

If that's what you want, then cool, do that. But I don't see how you can do that and simultaneously complain about used games, DRM, rapestop, gamefly, lending to a friend, "all these games look the same" type shyt.

The problem with drm has always been a philosophical one instead of a problem with actual functionality. People just like having something to rage on the internet about. Right now it's consumer rights/DRM, tomorrow it will be totaly different.

This goes for so-called games "journalists" as well. All year they have been against "always online" but an "always online" game won game of the show at e3 last year and it looks like it will be the same this year. The number one selling game this gen is :trash: without an Internet connection. Yet video game fans all over the net want to get mad at " always online" features. The shyt makes absolutely no sense to me.
