PlayStation is Sharing User's Game Activity Automatically Through Facebook Without Consent

Even if you disabled the Facebook Game Event Sharing feature a while back, Sony has re-enabled it and is now spamming your Facebook wall with adverts to games you play.

Just went to mine deleted like 20 post of persona 5. Wtf?

MakieCoco2509d ago

Haha yeah, so many people are only seeing them now that they are aware it has been sharing without you even asking for weeks now. Not the best way to handle things tbh. It is just spam and advertising games that you buy. Not on at all.

This is why I don't have them linked, no need to link everything to everything lol.

Redlife2g2509d ago

Exactly! Why link your Facebook account to begin with?? Were they giving away something for free at some point if you did?

jukins2509d ago

If you stream it makes an easy link for your Facebook friends that's one reason

Zeref2509d ago

yeah it's the players fault for trying to use a feature you provide!

AspiringProGenji2509d ago

I liked this function back when I used to collect trophies, but i am not sure if my setting are still on since back then thus This is happening to me

I had mine linked at first on the ps3, but if I skip work, don't want trophies to pop up when I'm playing sick. Never linked it on ps4, glad I didn't. Just checked, no activity on my wall.

rainslacker2509d ago (Edited 2509d ago )

Same here. I really dislike facebook, mostly because of people who spam every little thing they do on there. I don't want to be one of those people.

That said, some people do like the feature, and it shouldn't be doing it in this way. Probably an oversight that'll be remedied quickly, and take years until people stop using it to say Sony has no respect for people's privacy.

GameStallion2509d ago

Same. Just unlink and don’t worry about it from there.

That sounds horrible. The humanity. The audacity.

Shikoku2509d ago

An neither is the person in this article

monkey6022509d ago

Yeah It is. It's hasn't happened to me but it has to my sister and a number of my friends.

Shikoku2509d ago

No it's not my entire Facebook friends group are my gaming friends and the 200 of us don't and haven't had this problem. This seems like it's certain people or something.

milohighclub2509d ago

It happened to me, just had to disable it again.

ThatDudeMunkee2509d ago

Not to be that guy, but you are not 1+ million other users this could be happening to. Just because it's not happening to you, doesn't mean you can't go online and check PlayStation forums on Reddit, PlayStation, or various other pages. It's happening and it's annoying. I ended up unlinking my Twitter and FB so it doesn't spam my wall.

TopherMan2509d ago (Edited 2509d ago )

"Ever since I received my PS4, I disabled these features as many others did but it seems Sony enabled it again without any consent from its users."

Huh? Sony can't magically link PSN accounts to Facebook. That has to be done intentionally by the PS4 user. So the author obviously linked his Facebook account only to immediately disable all the features, which are the reasons for linking in the first place? Sounds fishy to me.

rpvenom2509d ago

Do people still use facebook?

Nitrowolf22509d ago (Edited 2509d ago )

Linking allows players to reconnect with Facebook friends who may also have a PS4, that’s a reason to link. You are given the option to disable posting during that though

Can’t remember the last time I even used facebook

JackBNimble2509d ago

I didn't even know my psn was linked , I tried disabling everything even on Facebook and I still keep getting all this crap.
I am rarely even on Facebook so I just noticed this a few days ago. But shit keeps popping up no matter what I do.

rainslacker2509d ago (Edited 2509d ago )

You can link your facebook account, then manually upload things. I think this article is talking about the auto-upload things that are also on the service being enabled by Sony.

However, I dunno if it's just they accidently did it themselves, or Sony maybe re-enabling some setting in an update. Probably due to lack of oversight, than them trying to do anything malicious.

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot24d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose25d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE25d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername24d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy25d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde24d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8624d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8624d ago (Edited 24d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300025d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle25d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7724d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
