Anyone besides me absolutely stunned that we don't have Sonys entire conference leaked yet? Usually everything is on the web by now in rumors.


Don't say that! People will figure out it means they have nothing.

key word being...

"We hear you"

Hearing and listening are two different things.

Sony: Due to immense pressure from 3rd parties, we unfortunately have to inplement DRM features. But know that we are still abou the games and share the passion of our fans.As a token of our appreciation, please download these 2 PS4 exclusives for free. On us.

Gamers: Seems legit.

I can see this happening. Sony might be forced to do it but will play the victim card and give away a couple free AAA games and all would be forgiven; at least Sony wouldn't be considered the bad guy.


But Sony actually WOULD be the victim if it happend. They wouldn't be playing


Exactly. You don't blame Microsoft for SimCity releasing on Windows.

lol...all this group circle jerking and no one mentions if DRM will be present or not on the PS4.


Nail on the Head.  Could just as easily be "We love the passion, we hear you, but DRM trumps all"

By the way... it is interesting that the Sony fans feel it necessary to petition for this.

It seems incongruous with all the comments I keep hearing about Sony loving gamers and how "they'd never do this"

Perhaps they're not the same exact people?

 Well atleast they didn't make jokes and say "get over it".



 Go Team Venture! I still don't get the Wii, PS Move,  and Kinect.

The fact that they aren't denying it is a little troubling.

""Humbled by the outpouring of passionate PlayStation fans and their willingness to talk to us directly. Please know that we hear you. <3""

If that doesn't tell you anything, I don't know what will. Read between the lines.


They did not listen when Sony was the first manufacturer ever to release online passes for their first party games.

You know what the crazy part is, that people seem to ignore the fact that Sony implemented project 10 dollar, they the ones that actually patented DRM on their console while MS has done neither but some how Sony gets  pass.  At this time, Sony either has DRM or they do not.  At this stage they are waiting to release that Info and they will let the Xbone take all the heat before they state how they do it.  They will make it seem like its fair but it will be the same.

People keep forgetting that Sony sells a lot of content that they want to protect.  From movies to music, TV shows and games.  Sony was the company to put a root kit on peoples PC if no one remember that whole fiasco.  Sony is not this altriistic company but instead a coporation just like MS.  I would highly be surprised if Sony does not have DRM on their console and it will be simular to what MS is doing.  The difference will be that MS will have everyone install the game on their console while I believe Sony is not going this route.

... which is exactly why people are actively trying to stop this from happening. If they didn't think it was possible, why would they be protesting it? No one has forgotten anything.

Still 13 more days.

Wow! xbox fans WANT the DRM nightmare to happen on PS4 too while Playstation and Nintendo fans don't want it to happen on any console no matter if they are not planning to buy it.

Well Sony is already locking content of PS3 games for used games. If you buy PSABR, LBP Vita, Resistance 3 or a lot of other different Sony first party titles used, you have to pay an additional fee of $10 to Sony for unlocking the multiplayer.

Right, they have online passes. That's pretty much a guarantee from now on in my opinion. If you want to play online you're going to have to buy new or pay for it as they have to keep servers running for people to actually play. I'm speaking of offline single player games. How would you go about locking those if being online is not required.

Well the ball is in Sony's court. Its up to them to listen and deliver to the passion of the gaming community.
