Joke ting blood
People are begging Sony to not follow Microsoft. If Sony allows this, I will get a PS4 this year because Xbox One still is a cable box.

Man this is bout to be some shyt when they finally come out with the news
But even if they do do the same DRM shyt.. that just puts them at an even playing field with that. It's still going to be the better console.

They can play with fire and duke it out thinking they have an advantage on every other field, or they can Babality MicroSOFT with free online and no fee on used games.
As a CEO, CFO, what would you do?
@ Loose stealing this shyt straight from NeoGAF

The thing with Sony is that they did at least say it would be up to the publishers, and not Sony itself at the system level. So of course EA is going to do something since they have something in place for them on the XB1.
It's not going to be system mandated across the board on the PS4, but in line with Sony's overall policy, they will let publishers do what they want to do.
EA games will more than likely have some kind of online drm for a used game where you pay them to play it. Not sure how they would handle this offline since the PS4 allows you to play offline without checkign in every day as with the XB1.

We may see less 3rd party games on the PS4 if they do that though
Remember that the used games DRM is only in place to help developers
I'm sure they'd resent the fact that Sony wont put a system to help them out when Microsoft did
As a result I'm sure we'd see either less games, more exclusive content on games on the one.. Something.

“We are just now announcing the basic vision and strategy of PS4 and will have more information to share regarding used games later this year. But PlayStation has a long history of keeping its gamers happy and we won’t make decisions that damage our relationship with them.”
Sony wont let us down.
Sony wont let us down.
if we're honest with ourselves we have to admit that the industry can't continue to go on the way it is. the beautiful HD graphics that cost millions to produce on the consoles that are sold for hundreds of dollars in losses per console will eventually cannibalize itself out of existence.
Used games is just the latest boogieman but these console makers are basically trying to get all the food on the table so they're eating through the table.
Used games are a pillar that supports the industry but console makers and publishers see it as a faucet they don't control. "Somewhere over there somebody is making money off our copyrighted material and we're not getting a dime from that."
But the truth is they are getting paid off it because when that game gets traded in and that customer rolls that in-store credit into a new game purchase that's them getting paid. in all honesty the amount of money retailers make off a new game sale is minimal but when they sell that used game they make money hand over fist but that money is kinda delayed because they have to up front take the loss on selling the new game they weren't really making jack shyt on to get it.
when a game like Tomb Raider goes on to sell 3 and a half million and barely breaks even that goes to show you the industry is broken. they keep driving the price of new titles higher and higher with every generation. i wouldn't be surprised to see this new one pull in a $69.99 price tag on a new title.
they blame pirates who are mostly poor enough to not be able to afford to buy the product new as if that's a lost sale and they blame used game buyers who are in many cases like pirates and only get access to that used game because somebody bought it new knowing they could sell it and recoup. the industry blames everyone but itself and its broken business model where they spend millions to develop HD games and if a studio flops one release or barely breaks even the studio is dismantled and a new one is brought in with the same budget to try and make the next Call of Duty.
I wonder if all these gifs and pleads of mercy will make it hurt worse when Sony reveals their DRM plans.
