It’s a fucking NFC reader slapped into a controller. If they get a parent for this bullshit, I’m patenting boogers & suing Sony C-suite execs & the patent office for having them.
Didn’t the Wii have this already too for their amiibo or whatever?
Those weren’t a payment method though, so it’s completely different… /s
I think you mean the Wii U, but not that big of a mistake, since the Wii U only was a DLC for the Wii. /s
Wow, Sony’s innovations include rootkits on music CDs you purchased, taking away your ownership of your games, and turning your entertainment devices into PoS kiosks for Sony Group Corporation.
They’re always looking for new and exciting ways to say “fuck you” to their users.
It really illustrates how far gone this regulatory regime is — that it’s even possible for a company to stay profitable while displaying such unending contempt for their customers.
Abolish patents.
Lemmy ahh comment
Stole this from Reddit, definitely had a laugh.
They even set it up so you can buy Fruit Ninja with foodstamps!
Sony and MS are moving gaming community to Steam the fastest. Like they don’t even want our money or something.
This makes me worry about anything happening to Steam. I started buying DRM free on GoG a while back and have an extra PC setup that, among other things, syncs games down from GoG so if something happens, I don’t lose my games.
If Steam gets bought out or goes under or whatever else, we’ll be screwed.
Just what I wanted: the worst part of arcade halls in my own living room!
We shouldn’t be focusing on who should have the legal rights to hoard technology, methods of use and knowledge, and punish anyone else for using it, and instead focus on whether this is a stupid utilisation of tech to begin with that no company should be allowed to do.
Both are valid here, I think
Could be an interesting idea if used for more than just payments.
