Sony has just announced that they're going to close down their social gaming platform - PlayStation Home - on March 31, 2015, and that from December 3, players won't be able to download new content from the service.
"Due to a shifting landscape, PlayStation Home will cease publishing new content on November 12. Gamers in Europe, the US and Canada will be able to download content until December 3. As a token of our tremendous gratitude to the community, we will also be releasing a series of free content prior to the platform's closure on March 31, 2015."
Sony also confirmed that there'll be no refunds for money spent on the platform: "Due to the progressive and innovative nature of the gaming industry, PlayStation is unable to refund on legacy platform or service experiences."
Fans who've invested heavily in the service will no doubt feel aggrieved by the news, although the promise of free content may be enough to placate some. What that content will be, however, remains to be seen.
Thanks, VG247.
