Saw this on reddit. It's funny watching people on there try to twist this around and still try to make Sony look bad. |
In a way it still is, 3rd parties are allowed to do this.
And we all know EA and Activision will.
That means to a degree, Sony are supporting the used games DRM, which makes Nintendo the only console manufacturer this gen not to restrict used games to any degree.
Honestly I'm a bit bummed that Sony "kinda" is going this route. And will still require you to go online for certain games. So it looks like I'll be getting a PS3 and sticking with it. This sealed the deal on my PS4 purchase in the future.

I am reading this as you are boycotting PS4 due to this. If that is the case, please note that PS3 already has an online pass fee on multiplayer. That is on Sony first party and 3rd party games. So, if you are going to boycott PS4, then I would not recomend supporting PS3 either.

Problem being PS4's might be fully integratd on to the system hardware itself (by disk readers) while the online pass is a software issue.

Sony isn't supporting anything, but they need the third party stuff so MS can't say "Fifa is exclusive to Xbone" in Europe and "Battlefield is exclusive to Xbone" in the US. That would make them get killed in 3rd party support. It's not their fault if the 3rd parties are being dicks about it (I don't think most of them are and I think Sony could play chicken and say "you won't make as much money without PS" but alas they can't gamble with that much money and that many jobs). Just EA pulling support would hurt them a lot but Activision too (I'm not sure if Activision will even do this)? It's a sucky situation and I definitely respect Nintendo for going the way they did but I can't fault Sony for finding a middle ground to keep support either.
