So basically they dont care about peoples privacy

TheHater5764d ago

that the impression I got from reading that. Isn't that illegal?

Jamie Foxx5764d ago (Edited 5764d ago )

.. thank you safari

Silellak5764d ago (Edited 5764d ago )

Name one company that DOES care about your privacy - even Google does something very similar.

Not defending Microsoft, or the practice in general, but this is hardly limited to just MS.

kevnb5764d ago

why thank safari? You think apple is any less evil? Lets just face it, our privacy is non-existent.

Bnet3435764d ago

lol at least they admit it unlike the US government. well, nevermind, Bush admitted to tapping phones to "collect" information on "terrorist killers"

RemmM5764d ago

I always knew MS was spying anyway. Apple has been tracking you people with their ''i'' products as well. Its true. So this is no surprise....I love conspiracy theories. I've been studying this stuff for awhile. MS spying only scratches the surface. It is MUCH deeper than you can imagine. U_U

DRUDOG5764d ago (Edited 5764d ago )

I wouldn't quite equate the US government's involvement in spying to possibly save lives (among other things) to MS trying to make more money off you. The government isn't trying to make a buck off you or provide that information to third parties for a price. MS should get smacked just like any other company that breaks the law.

wallace10005764d ago (Edited 5764d ago )

The US government spying to possibly save lives!? They also went into Iraq for another reason except oil right?

xhairs95764d ago

Can you show me your gas prices? If gas prices weren't $4+ a gallon, then and only then, I will believe that the only reason we went to Iraq was for oil. That's just another conspiracy theory which is what the US and any other country for this matter is built on, conspiracy.

DRUDOG5764d ago (Edited 5764d ago )

I'm not here to debate that what the US government does is right or wrong (or any other government for that matter); this is obviously just a gaming forum. I was just pointing out that comparing a money hungry company to a government who (at least on most levels) attempts to protect their interests and citizens isn't really justified. Believe me, I don't like my privacy invaded regardless of who is doing it.

kewlkat0075764d ago (Edited 5764d ago )

That's quite funny...

IntelligentAj5764d ago

What's even more surprising than the spying is that 1)you people didn't already know this 2)Some of you actually believe that this isn't a common practice among companies trying to find new ways to reach customers. Why does this surprise any of you?

wallace10005763d ago

Well it defiantly wasn't because they were a threat or because they needed freeing. There are also all the reconstruction projects, can anyone say Halliburton?

...Wow.
Just wow.
You are no longer safe in your own home anymore. I mean, a person should be able to maintain their privacy on the internet.

Silellak5764d ago

"In your own home"? This has to do with internet privacy. There hasn't been privacy on the internet for YEARS, sadly.

kevnb5764d ago

its been like this ever since everyone started using he internet every day.

juuken5764d ago

It's bad enough the government does it and now corporations?
That's my point.

DaKid5764d ago (Edited 5764d ago )

On the bright side, admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

@ Lord: Lol I think drinking leads to my problems, bubs for the laugh.

Lord Shuhei Yoshida5764d ago

Nah I think drinking is the first step to fixing your problems

wallace10005764d ago

Are you really surprised considering the government is run by corporations. Voters don't have any power, money has power.

I Knew it! I always felt someone was in my room when watching afew hentai episodes.

Shane Kim5764d ago

Ehhhrm...Shane Dim can't help it too. I'm a little unsecure about my sexuality.

eagle215764d ago

Microsoft and the word "admit" is hard to come by these days. I will have to just cherish this moment.

andron5764d ago

I switched to Linux on my laptop. But when I visit my family I use their Vista laptop. And the number of spam mail in my yahoo mail increases exponentially for as long as I use yahoo mail on Vista.

When I go home and just uses my Linux laptop the amount of spam decreases gradually to nearly none.

Wii60Fan5764d ago

You have never heard of spam filters?

dantesparda5764d ago

Dont fvcking work! everyday i am clicking "spam" on mad emails on my yahoo account. Some people just believe any stupid sh!t out there. And why are we as citizens of our respective countries always taking this sh!t? When are we the people gonna stand up to this govern ments and corporations? Never is my guess, instead we will just continue to take it, until the camera is right in our bedroom

Loool, Angela looks like Brian "Q" Quinn from Impractical Jokers! 😂

https://m.media-amazon.com/...

The rest of them don't look so bad in desig , it just feels like overall the graphics could have been better for 2024. I'm not blown away, but it's alright.

BigBosss1h ago

Could have been worse right? OG Maria looks like Cameron Diaz lol

OtterX1h ago

Cameron Diaz as The Joker! 🤣

gold_drake1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

she does have a very.. very strong jawline for someone whos 19 haha.

on_line_forever13m ago

All the characters in the original is far better even the atmosphere is better in the original

CrimsonWing6911m ago

I don’t get it, I’ve seen them make a normal looking female design in Medium… why is it that it feels like they’re going out of their way to make these characters looks off like this? They don’t need to be smoking hot, but it’s distracting with the direction they’re going here. I think the only normal looking one is Laura, but you’d really have to go out of your way to f*ck that up.

Ray J10m ago(Edited 10m ago)

Yet another victim of a cancerous “consulting company” like SBI, this time from “Hit Detection” just as parasitic. I’m glad all that ESG DEI insanity is now slowly on its way ou. But unfortunately it will take a few years until games release without that cancer release.

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff218317h ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan3h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin1h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_10m ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

-Foxtrot17h ago

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

ThinkThink9h ago

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

Grilla2h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5232h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin1h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-645m ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

excaliburps3h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla2h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

P_Bomb3h ago

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing692h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip5m ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.
