Vagrant0 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 With luck, this incident will make it clear that requiring games to connect to play online EVERY TIME is a BAD idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagrant0 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Have to remember, not only is this affecting current customers, but it is also making sales of almost ALL PS3 games virtually meaningless since nobody can connect just to play single player, including Brink in a few days. It's not just gamers who are being impacted by this, but virtually every game company who was sold on the "security" of having their games connect to the online service.

I've seen XBox, PS3, all console, and only PC exclusive but maybe in some time we will see xbox and PC exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracinfields Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 FYI it seems that not only was PSN hit but SOE was hit as well, so it affects those with PC accounts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason i am able to update all my games to the latest version, all my single player games are playable. Currently playing Just Cause 2 until psn gets back up and running. Fantastic game i do sayhttp://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif. Edited May 9, 2011 by Thor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzerfong Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 @ Vagrant0: I don't have to connect to play single player for my games (Resistance and Uncharted 2). What do you mean you have to connect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
