Home “will continue to develop and change over time,” says Sony boss

Speaking yesterday at the Gamer 3.0 conference in London, Jamie MacDonald, vice president of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, said PlayStation Home will “continue to evolve, change and develop over time”, which is a policy the company was employing with all future titles.

“The thing that I should stress about Home, unlike a typical boxed product it will continue to evolve and change and develop over time, it’s not a one off thing, ” he said.

“Indeed that’s the way we’re developing all of our titles these days. We’re becoming service providers almost rather than product providers.”

I love it when people go to the effort of speaking up and making a comment just to say how much they don’t care.

Actions speak louder than words, eh David?

As for this, as much as I don’t conform to the current internet trend of “Oh, it’s from Sony so we’ll just be negative about it” these sort of things NEVER release in a form that realises their full potential – the more discerning and less reactionary amongst you will note that this observation applies as much to XBL as this.

It’ll get a typically savage response from all those people like David who ‘don’t care’ so much that they’re rush to the internet to rant about how, when they downloaded this free Home thing they were disappointed and how it didn’t live up to their day-1 expectations.

I think a year after launch, Home will either be decent or dead…

..and people like David will still be banging their drum telling anyone who’ll give them a platform to preach it from that they so don’t care until they’re blue in the face.

I actually do care I’m just getting tired of the news of HOME just want to actually finally see it being released instead of the constant meh news about it.

I agree that home will either be decent or dead. They keep talking of more beta invites but no solid target for when it will be ready for launch. Its frustrating to be honest when I first heard about it I got excited but my excitement for it is long gone.
