Okay managed to do the PlayStation crew with the first hotlink on the webpage but the second and third produced an error when I tried. I'll try again later...

Yeah, kamiya is not the guy you should tweet about this. Seems everyone is doing fine, so I will play some vf5fs instead today.

too long mang
I know my tweets aren't even showing up on the feed anymore. I haven't been copying or pasting, either.
That would be ultimate trolling right there and I would pay to see that. Geoff just getting owned in front of a whole audience. Wouldn't bode well for his rep.

I know you guys are fighting the good fight and thats great but most of you should know it's pointless, DRM and most likely no used games are coming......without it I hope everyone is looking forward to apple dominating the industry with iOS type games for 1-5$ a piece.

Problem is that if we tweet them to much it will most likely start to annoy them

Has anyone found any new (good) YouTube videos in support of #PS4NoDRM? I'm trying to find some more for the website.
something fishy

Ea will have drm on both. No doubt at all. Hence no online pass anymore and probably why they dropped wiiu if it doesn't support it.
I'm guessing you haven't seen the DRM Vita thread. Don't try to bunch Sony and MS together just yet. Both seem to be going in different directions with Sony going the route of hardcore gamers.
Your thoughts aren't an uncommon one. Yours isn't the first post to say it, and it certainly won't be the last.
It's not about tweeting them directly. I usually just mention the campaign in my tweets to get the hashtag going. Something like:

You're right though, spamming is the last thing we should do.

When E3 is over and it's up to the publisher, we should start tweeting again to any publisher actually doing it.
Don't get me wrong, that would be fantastic. But I think something along the lines of "Our fans convinced us we were doing the right thing" is more likely, and more in tune with the response we've already had from Shahid, Koller or Boyes.
Note that I would happily eat crow on this one, and you will hear me scream in an awesome explosion of victorious joy from wherever you live on our planet if that happens
I mean, the campaign is OBVIOUSLY working and I really believe it's helping nudging them the right way. Are we playing a role in this? We sure do.

I don't really care what spin they put on it, as long as the end result is what we all want.

Thanks!!
Ho, absolutely, I couldn't agree more. That's the point I failed to make I guess. In the end, I don't really care about acknowledgement at all. I just want my ps4 games to work just like my ps3 games.
Love those tweets.

I think this one is new, from NOWGamer: http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1943920/sony_microsoft_are_listening_to_used_game_drm_criticism.html
from the VitaDRM thread.

I'm back, did I miss anything or has it just continued to slow down?

I think most people jumped on this because it was suggested that Sony was undecided, so we had a shot. I assumed MS was pretty set in stone, at least before the "thanks for the feedback" tweet.
Love those tweets.
Dude, if that is really Shuhei tweeting that, I have mad respect for him.
All that from a GAF thread? DAYUM!

Didn't EA just come out and say no Wii U games? Interesting that Wii U has no used game policy and EA isn't making games for them. And X1 is having some kind of used game crap and EA is all cozy making exclusive game for them.

It would be super crazy for EA to say No Wii U and No PS4. That would probably send their shareholders into an uproar after their total sales volume dropped.

Okay all of these exec tweets have to mean something. I mean, they can't all be idiots tweeting this stuff to only break bad news later, right?

Publishers can't boycott the PS4. No sales is worse than most sales. The consoles are too similar to not do multiplatform.
As much as i support this cause and hope it wins out i cant help but feel like its an all or nothing policy. If Xbone will have DRM and no used games, i cant see how publishers will allow it on one platform and not the other? Surely it plays into the hands of Microsoft as publishers will get much better margins from selling games on that system

What exactly do publishers do to not allow it?
Shahid tweeting about it doesn't mean all that much, he's very laid back and open, but Yosp mentioning it is a good sign.
Whens the last time you had another company run your company? Does not sound like a very sound game plan. What is the publishers plan? Get half the sales of this gen by limiting their scope? However keeping the $200+million dollar price tag of production?

That's kinda the point, if Sony kills DRM on the PS4 then Microsoft will have to kill it on the Xbone. Everybody wins.
I love how people seem to think that Publishers are holding the gun and it is the console manufacturers that are held hostage. Publishers won't let go of one console and lose all those sales. They just won't. Greed works both ways and publishers will want all pieces of the pie, even if a part of that pie isn't as tasty as another part.

You say allow but what could publishers do about it? They know that used games don't really cost them sales and not publishing on 50% of the US market and most of the rest would be very rough on them.
edit: beaten by 5 people, don't mean to gang up on you, sorry.
i phrased that wrong, sorry what i meant was that if a publisher was guaranteed more money and sales from xbox than ps4 due to the used games issue surely it plays into microsofts hands and i cant see Sony putting themselves in a weaker position.
I hope im wrong though
Pretty much this.
Of course, by the NEXT generation there won't be any physical media distribution par limited edition runs. It'll mostly be digital.
I'm still cautiously optimistic but I agree, it would be very rude if they had plans for DRM and then mock their fans with DRM-jokes so this might be a good sign.
But I'll wait until they make an official statement before I get my hopes up.
This says it better than i did. Im not sure sony can do it one way and xbox the other
That's what everyone's getting from this, yeah. They're trolling us so hard right now.
