Potatoes have also experienced ups and downs. Half a month ago, Sony announced that it would gradually close its digital stores for PS3, PSP and PSV in July and August of this year. After the store is closed, players can still download and play the digital version of the game they have already purchased, but they can no longer purchase new digital content, nor can they make in-game purchases on the aforementioned platforms. This news aroused the opposition of a large number of players at the time, one of the reasons is that a large number of games sold only through digital channels will “disappear”. Recently, players have signed a petition on the petition site Change.org to ask Jim Ryan, the current president of SIE, to step down. One of the “crimes” is that he shut down the digital store on the old platform, leading to the disappearance of thousands of games. More than 2,000 people have signed up so far However, according to Sony’s official statement, the closure of digital services on the old platform is to give more resources to the PS4 and PS5 stores. Coincidentally, Ubisoft recently announced that it will shut down the servers of some old games during the year for similar reasons-this means that players will no longer be able to obtain network services from the official website, and they will no longer be able to play them online. According to Eurogamer’s report, the latest news is that “Ghost Recon: Future Fighter”, “Rainbow Six: Confinement”, “Rainbow Six: Vegas” and “Rainbow Six: Vegas 2” will all be held in 2021. Online services will be closed on all platforms at a certain time. The online dates of some other Ubisoft games have been determined, such as “Assassin’s Creed 2,” “Far Cry 2,” and “Split Cell: Conviction” will be closed on June 1 this year. The list of games comes from the official Ubisoft forum After the online service is closed, the single player function of the game itself will not be affected, but functions such as in-game news and player statistics will be disabled. If the game supports Ubisoft Connect (that is, the player service system that replaces UPLAY), related system functions, such as U coins, player challenges, etc. will also be closed. If the player still has unused in-game currency when it expires, they will not receive Ubisoft’s refund. On Ubisoft’s official forum, a staff member named UbiDuchess explained the shutdown: “We have been evaluating the conditions required to provide the best online service for Ubisoft players. Game service is a necessary part of this work. Because it allows our employees to better focus on providing a good online experience for the majority of players who are playing more popular games.” “We understand that some people may be disappointed by this news. We are very happy to have fans who have been committed to these brands and games like you. I hope you can find more Ubisoft games that will be launched in the near future and you can be equally enthusiastic. For these games.” In fact, Ubisoft has always stated in the official user support document that it will continue to “retire” user service support for old games. Before this incident, a large number of Ubisoft games have been included in this “retire environment” ranks, and the New Year’s “Just Dance” series is the one that retires the most diligent. Games based on digital services have become more and more mainstream in the lives of players. This has also led to the depreciation of the value of digital game assets, which will become a topic that we cannot avoid in the future. The good news may be that these games of Ashoka can at least be played in single-player mode, and none of the PSP/PSV games that are only released on digital channels will disappear in the long river of history in the future.
