Sony To Delete Virtual Goods

Posted by Soulskill on from the satisfaction-is-not-guaranteed dept.

New submitter dommer2029 writes "A few years back, Sony bought up a small company running an online collectible card game called Star Chamber: The Harbinger Saga. Two days ago, they announced that the servers will be shutting down on March 29, 2012. All of our virtual collectible cards? Poof. It's not surprising — the user base is small and dwindling — but it's proof that any server-based digital goods you 'own' can vanish on a corporation's whim."

    ...but I also hate whiney nerds.

    The self-hatred is strong in this one.

    Ha. Ha. Reminds me of the old saying "Denny's, Where waitresses go to die."

    And diners, too... there's a saying around here: if you want to find excellent food, follow an old person to lunch. You'll either find the best food that 60 years of experience can find, or you'll arrive at Denny's.
