He was tweeting on 7/3. What the heck?

Yeah, but check-out this tweet. I think someone on kotaku said it, but apparently the cause of death was irony. I wanna believe Ryan would find this a little funny.

I'm going to try to do what Ryan would want, not be too sad. I'm watching the Chrono Trigger Endurance Run this week! Who's with me?

I'm hoping that i can still get mad at him later today when he says it was just a bad joke...

But man... even Ryan wouldn't joke about being dead right after his wedding right? :(

Yeah, didnt the GB crew joke about "who will survive Ryan's wedding?" I just wish all of this was a joke too...

I am so stunned right now...if I had a quarter that could give one more life to someone, I'd put it in Ryan's machine right now.

Just one more life

I'm 100% fine with RFID based DRM if;

  • You can de-register the game from your account and thus re-validate the disk for other systems
  • It is indeed 100% offline capable. (so combined with the above it essentially just becomes an anti-piracy measure)

If you can't re-validate it for other systems, it'll still be a huge loss of options for consumers. BUT being offline capable makes it much, much better than MS's solution.

Point one would be the key, if people could manage the DRM of a PS4 game, I think it would be fine for Sony and the PS4

Microsoft and Xbox One is taking a lot of heat for its online DRM. Microsoft may have done this as a cash grab but it does seem like, more and more, this DRM push is coming from the publishers. If this is true, and Sony will need DRM for publishers to put out games on the PS4, how could Sony's DRM look?

Let's look at what we do know. Sony has said the PS4 will not be always online and will not have an online DRM. So end of story, no DRM, we get used games and all is right with the world. Well as college football analyst Lee Corso would say, not so fast my friend! As we learned about early this year, Sony United States Patent Application US20130007892, Sony's technology would check a game disc's RFID tag, which is capable of remembering if that game had been linked to a different machine or account. This check is performed offline and before the game is played. So once a game is placed in a PS4, it is locked to that system and cannot be used in a different PS4.

If Sony has to have DRM in the PS4 because of the publishers, I would think this is how they plan on doing it. And if this is true will Sony have a system for used games at all? Any other ideas?

Never-mind, I found the answer and I disagree with the ruling, retail games and small digital games (like old SNES game) should have different platforms. You shouldn't mix them on one platform and split them on all the others.

At any rate, answered, lock or delete this post mods.

I was noticing that Xbox 360 and PS3 retail releases are on a different platform in the database then XBLM and PSN releases. Shouldn't we be doing the same for the Wii U and Nintendo Store releases? At this point we do not have a Nintendo Store platform for the database.
