That's because some of the PC market is now doing things the right way and encourage those that buy the game legally instead of trying to scare them into buying it. They aren't trying to sue anyone, but rather say "hey, if you want the FULL experience, you'll have to buy it, but we're going to give you a good deal by not charging you an arm and a leg for it." Of course, some companies (Ubisoft) that still have the wrong idea by DRMing things to hell and back, but som...
"There is no proof to suggest that they would do such a thing...right? "
True, but there's no proof saying that it won't, either. I'm saying that it's not clear enough to where we know what they mean, and that worries me because of what happened with the whole third party storage thing that MS did some time ago. Datel wasn't too happy about what happened there. I would hope Sony doesn't pull the same BS, but seeing as how everyone sees every ...
"People need to shut the fuck up and stop being hypocrites"
Oh God, THAT statement won't end well. So no one is allowed to have any other view than what you said?
Thing is, if it's not that bad, then they should make it clearer, because there are several ways to interpret that.
I'm not saying that's necessarily that that's what they are doing, but how can you say that it's NOT what they mean? It's not som...
Did you even read what segment I'm referring to? You're telling me that Sony should have the right to ban me for using a Mad Catz controller if they feel they want or need to? Not saying they ever would, or that I would use that controller, but the TOS leaves too much to the imagination. You completely missed the point!
Would you be allowed to go search for the lawnmower thief with a loaded shotgun in your hands and to shoot anyone who was using a lawnmower that looke...
1. Dude. YOU'RE ON N4G! This place is a troll HAVEN! I've never seen such a place before in my LIFE! They do that just to see how far they will push you. Some really couldn't give two shits if the PS3 is hacked to hell and back, and could care less if Geohot woke up tomorrow with the cure for cancer! They don't care about the story at all...they just want to do the same game they have done for YEARS now (this isn't anything NEW).
2. You're calling ever...
Okay, look, I understand your worried about hackers and all, but language like that is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Can you seriously make your point without saying that you want them to be nuked or burned or their house to catch fire?
Why is talk like that deemed okay to say? Even as a joke, it's not funny! C'mon, GROW UP!
Hasn't stopped anyone from blindly cheerleading Sony before!
"CFW itself is against the TOS. So, using CFW for anything is illegal."
This is exactly the point that's being argued in the courts right now, and you would know this if you would breathe and read some of the comments and stories coming from the other side. Not everyone thinks the same way as you. Some people think it SHOULD be legal in certain ways. And Sony is the one that's telling you that they are not allowing it, but remember that TOS's and EULA...
I never said Sony was the bad guy. I'm saying they're severely misguided. My God, if I thought Sony were "bad guys", I would've sold my PS3 years ago...hell, I would've never even BOUGHT the damn thing!
And you think it's okay to tell someone that they should DIE? You really think that's going to get someone that thinks that gamers are a bunch of immature kids to think any different of us? Really?! And telling people to be disagree without be...
Someone who calls me an asshole is talking to ME about etiquette!
Pot, meet kettle!
And you're telling me to be nice about it. If I'm being nice about something in a news story...then how will anyone actually take notice. If you call them out, THEN they take notice, and THEN they will do something about it. The cowards will be the one that instead try to turn it on you without looking at their own faults (I never said no one was allowed to disagree w...
If only you knew the other half of this story. This doesn't go into that part (that Sony can see every detail you ever put into your account, and someone AT Sony could actually be the one that would want to do something TO you. You can't really trust ANYONE anymore).
I've seen what this article is saying, though, through another site, and to be honest, Ars, AGAIN, doesn't get the story straight on EITHER account.
See, Ars seems to sugar coat this as something about Sony possibly not securing your identity through PSN. That's not what the concern actually was. It was that Sony can see EVERY LITTLE DETAIL of what you do on PSN, even the private messages you send. In short, if you send a PM to someone, Sony can see it and if they...
See, Sony! THIS is how you deal with "hackers"!
Learn from Blizzard. They seem to know better about how to deal with this sort of thing than you do!
I think, in a few days, you're going to hear a mix of different comments. People who were really cheating and are trying to talk their way out of it, for one. I think those people deserve the ban.
Then the people who didn't JB their PS3 but got banned for it. This is what I worry about the most, because I remember what happened with the RIAA suits (the grandma that was sued and all of that), suing people who never knew how to even operate a computer let alone know how...
So you just showed where I can go to talk to people who isn't sucking Sony off constantly about this whole banning thing that I can have an actual MATURE conversation with about the hack and the legal issues?
Thank you for that!
Thing is, debates are one thing, but this many people not even listening to anyone but who agrees with them? THIS many trolls all in one place, saying the same thing, attacking anyone who dares say anything different? C'mon, ...
Yeah, the offline stuff you'd use the CFW for, like the HB (which people on here would be against if the actual apps DID exist, by the looks of things because they just KNOW Geohot wanted people to pirate and cheat all day with it) isn't going to hurt anyone else on PSN. Getting onto it with the JB PS3 is just asking for trouble.
And I'm hoping that Sony is just going after those that were using this thing to cheat in a game. It would show a lot about who Sony thi...
Did I say they weren't? Read what I said before going on your rants. I know NOTHING about this game, and the ad TOLD me nothing ABOUT the game other than that the people that made it think that it's ready to take on the biggest dog in the fight. Chest beat AFTER you proved that your game doesn't suck and can have a stable following and subscriber base. Show some gameplay footage. Tell me what sets Rift apart from WoW and other MMOs out there. Tell me what you think is so great abo...
I don't think you understand the point I'm getting at, though you calling me butthurt just shows that you've picked sides yourself.
I'm not saying the game CAN'T be a WoW killer (the Bioware MMO has a chance to compete with WoW). I'm saying that you shouldn't go about saying things like in that commercial until you show that you can compete WITH the thing you're trying to attack. That's all.
I've played MMOs since 2004,...
Umm...you don't think for a second that they are REALLY going to scrap the engine for the game, right? Seriously, we ALL know the REAL reason why they "stopped" ME2...because of a certain OTHER franchise that DICE has that is pretty damn popular at the moment (B:BC).
Trust me, as soon as BF3 is out, you will want to keep your ears open for ME2 to return to the limelight. I don't think slow sales has stopped EA from putting out sequels (Dead Space flew under ...
You know, I would laugh my ass off if Sony actually LOST the suit! Because, you know, it would serve all of YOU right if they DID!
Seriously, I don't know if it's just ignorance or just brown nosing Sony until the very end or just thinking that being a fanboy on N4G for anyone means you have to defend them on every little issue, but I rarely see any real, intelligent, mature comments on here about this other than a select few that would still disagree with me on this....
