I want people to answer me honestly on this question.
How exactly does game sharing benefit the developers when all one has to do is just coordinate with 10 friends on their purchases?
10 friends don't have to buy the same game and that would mean 9 less games sold for a particular franchise with game sharing.
Sony realized this and dropped the limit from 5 to 2 on PS3.
You do know that people can game share on ps3, I do it with my brother and friends now. Let's not make this feature out to be something new and revolutionary.
it was for their shareholders who saw the low number of preorders.
yes and its walled off from the rest of the system from what i remember hearing.
i would after a few price drops, and some more exclusives that interest me other than Quantam Break which is the only one right now that im excited for on xbox.
all i can do is SMDH at the back and forth mess going on here. today was a good day for consumer rights, and if anyone can't see that then i don't know what to say.
i know i wont forget what they tired to pull
so they b***hed out? its good to see the consumers voice heard LOUDLY. great day for gamers, and a great day for CONSUMERS.
my brother is a manager at one of the gamestops here in nyc and he doesn't even know why they were told to stop taking preorders.
he told me his store has over 90 for PS4 and about 40 for X1 before getting email from head office about no more reserves.
it seems most of the gamer community only care about shooters. i for one was glad they showed a different game. they just arent trying to sell to core gamers, but also causal/family oriented gamers as well.
it's true my brother is a manager here in nyc and he told they were told to not take away more preorders on the system.
he said they were not giving any reasons as to why.
@god
you or anyone else don't have to worry the games from Sony studios. We all know they have the variety, and aren't afraid to create new and interesting IPs.
I do believe the 4 new IPs releasing this year shows we have nothing to fear when it pertains to PS4.
The Last of Us
The Puppeteer
Beyond Two Souls
Rain
Preordered the week of E3 so I'm set.
Calm down gamer you see geeks didn't take it personally so why are you?
Anyway geeks I see what your saying yes the showing of games was pretty good but most were multi plat, or timed exclusives. The one game at that presser that truly intrigued me was Quantum Break as I love Remedy and the game looks hella different from the constant shooters. Personally I think both companies did a bang up jobs showcasing games.
Just that MS policies, price, and tryin...
I'm not going to give a click to this site, but are telling us it should have been about the games?
I think its fairly obvious that we won't have that problem come this gen since Sony always supports it systems with exclusives. Its not just going to stop now that they are releasing a new console.
PlayStation gamers don't have to worry about the games because we know they will come.
I'm so tired of hearing the word cloud I think I might rip my ears off Lol. Is this the only word they know?
I understand I believe that also, but what would happen if they kept that free and then we get screw some other way like high price for the system, or full drm garbage like Xbox then what would you say to that?
I think if the only thing we have to give up is pay to play online over the other crap I'll take pay to play.
Again I know it sucks but its beats the alternative imo.
Yea it sucks but I see it has the best compromise they could come up with. They could have went the route Microsoft went and threw it all behind paywall, or drm the hell out of the system.
If paying to play online is the only thing I have to give up to keep everything else I have I can accept that.
Plus they explained why they had to do this and not just said this is the way its going to be period. 7-8 yrs of free online gaming has been wonderful and they s...

That's what I want to know because that feature sounds like it does more harm than good for the developers. How would these people complaining about losing it feel that there cheating devs out of hard earned earnings if they just buy one copy and share it with 9 others?
