This guy is just a troll with a global audience.


I don't think that he is a troll... I think he actually believes what is flowing out of his stupid mouth...

my brother owned a ps3 way before me, and when i bought my ps3, i put his account on my ps3, and have downloaded all of his digital games, and have played them too.


I think Sony fixed that. 



Wait. I'm really confused. He's been talking about how used games are killing developers, yet this plan, if we assume that it allows ten extra people to play a full version, would make used games look like a developer's best friend. How can he hold both positions to be true? If you set up a network with ten other gamers, you'd have just about everything covered with just one copy.

Wouldn't this be the most anti-developer system of all? From a developer's standpoint, wouldn't the "have all your friends buy the game instead" point on the PS4 list be far and away the best?

Something doesn't add up.

This is what people forget. There is a reason why Sony reduced the account sharing from 5 registered consoles to 2. I believe you can also do the same on the 360.



Is that Pic official Microsoft Troll PR agaisnt Sony that was never used becuase badgenome won against DRM?
or is just regular troll PR from the internet?

Well I believe in freedom of speech and telling the truth. I have a hard time believing you could play it at the same time, I have a hard time 10 peeps can borrow and play at the same time. this model is far worse than the current model for devs.

It would kill software sales. whats cliffy like about it????? he says he wants to see devs get money and not gamestop!

but I doubt seriously selling one game and 10 people using it on 10 different consoles is better, for Devs.

Complete fuckwit it is. I blame effect of making violent games. 



To show the true potential, and consequences, of each option they should have an 11th person in the XBone picture, with no arrow pointing at them and a sad panda face. And they should have 20 people in the PS4 picture with the aeroplane eventually making it to every single person in the picture, all with a happy face.

Oh, for the love of--

Have nobody ever heard of Occam's Razor? The simplest solution is the best solution? Methinks simply handing my friend the game is, indeed, the simplest solution.

Any questions? No? Good.



Doesn't he have enough money to buy his 10 friends a new copy with overnight delivery, isn't that better for the industry Cliff?
