This is bothering me... All of the PS4 "Social" features announced had to do with being by yourself in a room and "socializing" with your friends through the internet. Is that really what socializing has turned in to?

Sony says people who don't want to be connected online are "anti-social":

Sony's idea of playing with your friends involves not actually being with your friends:

Are gamers like me, who still enjoy playing video games in a real social environment (in person), that much of a minority? 

"anti-social" its clear that he wanted to say anti-socialmedia shizzle...

 

I love playing the Wii U with friends, but you just have to look outside, or look at your kids, little brothers/sisters to see that socialmedia has changed the way we interact with people. you cant deny that, and PS is taking that approach to pick that up. easy.

I dont give a flying f about socialnetworks, but the socialising as a gamer stuff in my console is awesome
