Fãs da PS4 unem-se para combater o DRM nos jogos usados

Os fãs da PlayStation 4 uniram-se para combater a implementação de DRM nos jogos usados.

A iniciativa teve origem no NeoGAF e consiste em utilizar as hashtags #PS4NoDRM e #PS4USEDGAMES no Twitter, bem como chatear as pessoas mais importantes na divisão de jogos da Sony, como Shuhei Yoshida, presidente dos Worldwide Studios.

Porquê agora? Simplesmente porque Geoff Keighley, o apresentador da GameTrailers TV, disse durante um episódio do Bonus Round que ouviu dizer que a Sony estava a pensar implementar DRM nos jogos usados da PlayStation 4, seguindo as pegadas da Microsoft com a Xbox One.

Com receio, os jogadores decidiram fazer as suas vozes ouvir-se em relação ao assunto.

Não gosto de nada disso, depois que comecei a usar originais, faço muito uso do mercado de usados.

Gente, que nem outro user aqui do Forum disse de manhã, com fonte da Kotaku. Esse tal apresentador aí, está falando oque não sabe.

Esqueçam, isso não vai acontecer, a própria Sony já disse que não haverá bloqueio de jogo usado.
Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida has told Eurogamer that PlayStation 4 will not block the use of second-hand games, contrary to various reports, speculation and even a Sony patent unearthed last month.

I sat down with Yoshida a few hours after the PS4 reveal tonight and one of the first things I asked was whether used games would be blocked.

"Do you want us to do that?" he asked.

No, I said. I think, if you buy something on a disc, that you have a kind of moral contract with the person you've bought it from that you retain some of that value and you can pass it on.

Do you agree, I asked?

"Yes. That's the general expectation by consumers," said Yoshida. "They purchase physical form, they want to use it everywhere, right? So that's my expectation."

So if someone buys a PlayStation 4 game, I asked, you're not going to stop them reselling it?

"Aaaah," was Yoshida's initial answer, but seemingly only because he'd forgotten his line. "So what was our official answer to our internal question?" he asked his Japanese PR advisor. The advisor stepped in but didn't seem to answer clearly, at least to my ears. Yoshida then took control again firmly:

"So, used games can play on PS4. How is that?"

I said I thought that was fine.

Interestingly, I also spoke to a Sony source elsewhere at the event this evening who told me that the anti used-game patent discovered last month was actually nothing to do with PlayStation 4 at all.

The patent suggested that discs would come branded with a contactless tag that could be recognised and read by your console, which would then bind it to you and prevent you from selling it on.

But whatever reason Sony did have for patenting it, it sounds like it wasn't for its next-generation console. Hopefully Microsoft will also avoid this ludicrous technology with its next-generation Xbox as well.

A Sony está vendo o tiro no pé que a M$ esta dando. Nunca que irá fazer isso. É a mesma coisa de falar: Nintendo, o caminho está livre para vc!
