But children don’t have credit cards…
Sony patents game console with embedded credit card skimmer, with child-friendly features
…shit
call me when you can pirate games with playstation controller
Honestly, 2 points:
-
Actually surprised this was not a PS5 launch feature
-
Not a bad idea really. Could cut down on some forms of scam, if you had to use a physical object instead of a bunch of numbers saved on your computer.
-
Middle class gonna whore itself out to impulse purchase useless game skins. Middle class? More like idiot class lmao
Oh ya my cousin rather get a personal trainer then vote 🤷♂️
rent
Sonys thing not mine.
First, they discontinue the production of physical copies and now they pull off this rent-seeking bullshit.
It’s kind of incredible how dedicated you guys are to hating things just because someone you didn’t like did it, I respect the game a little bit.
buy
lmfao
Silly rabbit, buying isn’t owning!
Paying for*; buying is owning
Life imitates art
Sony really made the meme real, what a fucking world we live in
This was a joke once upon a time
And the easier victory of course provides you with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Wow, I completely forgot about this gem of a quote. 9 years it’s been already, apparently
The meme is so old, tapping cards to pay did not even exist.
so… a payment terminal ? Why can they patent this?
Probably because it’s on a controller. It is fucking stupid.
Payment terminal, can’t patent that. Payment terminal on a toaster? Yes you can patent that. Lol
Payment terminal on a toaster
BRB!
At this point, it’s getting into findom territory. “Don’t want your toast to burn you disgusting pervert? You make such pathetic financial decisions. You should give that money to me instead, and maybe I’ll consider only burning your toast a little.”
Thanks for making me remember old scars.
That’s so excellent
Visa and MasterCard already excerise findom. You aren’t allowed to use your money on anything that makes mommy visa and daddy mastercard look bad. Else you will be banned.
or you’re an ICC judge that issued Netanyahou arrest warrant just for a lil’ genocide
There’s supposed to be an inventive height. Obvious combinations aren’t patentable by law. But the patent offices are all stupid and just lets it happen and force people to take it to court.
Sony is basically a patent troll these days…
I’m pretty sure the majority of their patents are things they never intend to use, they just want to be able to charge anyone else that wants to do it.
90% to 95% of all patents are never commercialized. It is not exclusive to Sony.
This is your usual daily reminder that each of the tech giants obtain something like 3000 patents a year, by patenting everything under the sun. For the sole purpose that if one of them sues another for the violation of one such patent, the other can dig up a hundred of them to countersue.
Sony patent could let players tap a credit card on their PlayStation controller to rent games.
- Ftfy, Dexerto, if something can be taken away from you at any time, you don’t own it, you’re only renting it.
Hold the controller closely to your parent’s wallet and unlock this amazing new skin.
You, and YOU alone can help Solid Snake in his mission. Should you choose to accept, the objective is simple. Remove the RFID resistant wallet from your parent’s back pocket. Inside, there will be a plastic card that contains the nuclear codes. Take that card, and press it to the face of your controller. Hurry, agent! The world’s counting on you
buyrent for an undisclosed amount of time with multiple options for losing possession earlyI thought we are just renting our bought games?
Well we sure ain’t renting them for free
