How an Online-Only World Damaged PlayStation 3 and Threatens Everything Else

May 11, 2011 in Blog comments 5

The PSN outage is affecting our security and online gaming. GameZone looks at Sony's huge problem and how it will affect the gaming industry as a whole. For the full editorial go to GameZone.com

Game developers and publishers love to complain about lost revenue. They tell us that we are evil for selling our old games to GameStop. They tell us that we are cruel for buying used software because they don’t get a cut of the profits. They insist that if we move to some magical, online-only world, these issues will be removed, piracy will be obliterated, and the game industry will forever flourish.

    How this an online-only world? Online is pretty shit compared to singleplayer, its just that its a nice addition so that you can clock up more hours for the price you pay for a game.

      Online-Only as in pretty much 90% of the features of Playstation involve it being online. Downloading games, playing levels in Littlebigplanet, updates, ect.

        You can update games without being signed into PSN, games still update while PSN is down as well.

        Also SP ftw

      All the little kids whining about online multiplayer should be enough. The 5 hour campaigns should be enough. the fact that not many people even play single player anymore, they go straight to multiplayer. Finally, the fact that everyone seems to be adding multiplayer just for the sake of having it should be enough. Yes, Majority of the gaming world is online and online-only at that.
