NINTENDO BANNED SONY’S SHUHEI YOSHIDA FROM MIIVERSE TWICE

APRIL 13, 2014 ALBA 31 COMMENTS

Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida has revealed that he was banned from Miiverse a couple of times. Yoshida, who leads the firm’s PlayStation sector, violated the Miiverse code of conduct by promoting his Twitter handle – @yosp – and by expressing his affection for the PlayStation brand. The Sony executive previously confirmed that he owns two Wii U consoles.

“The first time was because I had my Twitter account in my profile and that’s against the rules,” Yoshida said. “The second time is because I wrote, ‘I love PS.’ You’re not supposed to promote a commercial product in MiiVerse, so they correctly interpreted ‘PS’ as PlayStation.”

Haha! This is hilarious. I wonder if the MiiVerse mods knew who they were banning. Rules are rules and you have to follow no matter who you are :)

the miiverse mods are way to strict when it comes to promoting things like facebook, youtube, and twitter.

Yeah, gotta keep the evil Sony away from your kids. If you let them on the internet they wouldnt last a day before becoming a Sony fanboy =P

So do I get banned if I promote a commercial product that belongs to Nintendo?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
