Sony is looking ever more incompetent. Seems like every other day another of their websites is found ludicrously insecure.

I think this whole thing is really entertaining, to be honest. No, Sony, I will never forgive you for the rootkits and assorted DRM.

[Virex]

they better cripple the dang system again so we can net more free games.

The funny thing is that most of the people singing up for the free games are setting themselves up to be integrated in a bot network if this keeps happening.

[Nadaka]

The free games are crap anyway, I wasn't interested in any of them.

I guess I'm not getting a PSVita or whatever if this continues. But I will follow this story indefinitely, because it is the funniest story.

*wanders over to mysql's website*

Keep in mind, companies like walmart use mysql for their business logic the same way Google using mysql to delivery web pages(they don't).

Just because a company has used a product for something doesn't mean they serve 70mil customers with it.

Anyway, back to the topic I hand...

I never planned to buy another console game but FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

This could potentially be the best video game of all time :/

[G-Flex]

A lot of things could have potentially been the best games of all time, but weren't. That's the funny thing about potential.

devek:  How is that on topic?

[devek]

I agree.

Planetside is still my "best game of all time", and a lot of things have had potential to fill the gap but failed.

CCP has kind of proven itself to be able to make epic games, so a FPS by them at least has the best chance of anything released so far, especially when it is already tied into something epic already.

Ahem *clears throat*

THE MOST BORING MMO EVER MADE.



"Sir, when can I use that awesome looking rifle that's just slightly better than mine?"

"Son, stop playing for 2 weeks then come back."

"But sir, I want to play and I already have money for it."

"We do not care son, pay for another month of subscription then come back."

It's the game that rewards you for not playing it. I don't think their FPS will be quite the same, though.

lol @ the fact they made the game PS3 exclusive.

Anyone else think it's gonna be a bust?

[Soulwynd]

It bet it's because they thought the PS3 would never have piracy or hackers or...

I just can't see how it's going to 'fit' in the world. So much of EVE is waiting. Training.. traveling... training.. mining... training... etc. etc.

Most mainstream FPS'ers want instant gratification - hop into a game and blow people away. I'm not sure how it's going to 'work'.

I think the big reason this happenedis because Sony prosecuted GeoHot, which they should have done considering the guy released the master security key for their system, which basically meant they couldn't protect against piracy anymore. Bad for business, methinks. Should've been keeping their security for everything else a bit more... formidable though. Massive failure on their part.

However, Microsoft aren't really much better. Anyone remember the RRoD? Took them at least 3 years to sort that. Great fun, forking out hundreds of *choose your currency* just for it to turn into a paperweight because it got too hot, and you didn't even have a guarantee that it was fixed when you got it back, or that it wouldn't happen with a new one.

Fine, they didn't just lose the financial details of millions of customers because of that. However, it probably cost their customers a similar amount of money overall that Sony's customers are going to lose through any fraudulent activities with their assorted financial escapades. They also didn't offer anything beyond extra customer warranty, and you were buggered if you didn't have that or had modded the system in any way.

But this is just the viewpoint of an anti-Microsoft chummer, so take it as you will.
