Those PS3 servers are over 10 years old though. We all know Sony screwed up their planning for future online, hopefully they get it right after this rebuild and we don't see servers shutting down for old games anymore.
I don't know where they are running but I sure hope that a 3 years old game was not deployed on ten years old hardware with a software concept as old...
I don't think this is related, to be honest. One is a major database fuckup at a junior db admin level, the other one is a major issue in a general systems engineer design that, if you are right, has not been addressed for years. I see two mistakes that can happen independently and most likely did.
I am well aware of everything you say, I do this stuff daily :) But in nowadays automation and config management tools, these are more or less solved problems. And I'm not talking about spinning up servers but vm's or containers on a machine that is running anyway. If you boot another server for that, it will also be able to serve a service for different games and not only for one game.
Yea I agree here. Especially considering Kodera says that he's been talking to the head honcho about this extensively thus to organizational shift. This tells me a few things:
What are you talking about? Its already on my PS dashboard
It's not near as bad as Xbox ui.....You can also remove a good portion of that from the dashboard.
I can see them making progression in that but I don't see the sub service for first party titles happening. Their games are too big for that.
Agreed, not only is it what he wants to do, since it's been his area for a while now, it's also the area that's going to be becoming more and more important going forward so it kind of makes sense that this will enable him to be directly hands-on in it rather than divide his focus in more of a managerial role. Plus now that I think about it there's the whole public side of the job (and probably partnership deal oversight with the third party relations managers?) he never really got into during his short stint in the president role and Jim has done for years building up PS in Europe. From the outside it seems to be a pretty appropriate swap giving their specialties.
Yeah.
This.
I can see them maybe giving PSN credit but full refunds probably won't happen. Should but probably won't.
You can't refund freely on Steam there are restrictions that said as a consumer that's not my issue to worry about all I know is steam has refunds, Xbox has refunds, seemingly only Nintendo(not 100% sure) and Playstation can't be arsed unless forced through law(although in the case of EU PSN that can have consequences for your account).
PS Vue is limited to a few countries. As an example it isn't available in their main Sonyland market: PAL regions.
