Sora9427 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Personally not a great loss, i use Twitter to share my things anyway, i use FB only for Posts of Pages i Follow, if those ones would go to Twitter i wouldn't even use Fb at all, for me it's awful! It doesn't show like 70% of the pages i follow, so what's the point of me Liking a page 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Probably wasn't working very well anyways. I envy those who so easily willingly link everything to one thing. Or im just too stupidly careful about nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennethMcCormick Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Guess we'll be learning a new FB related scandal soon, and thanks to inside information, Sony's using their emergency 1000 feet pole time to sell your last shares, I guess ? Or a contract's up and FB's asking for too much at renewal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDavidson Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Well, I guess nothing will have to change about my life. I don't use FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgm4789 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 So what trophies does this affect, i remember one of the cabellas games as well as the michael jackson game on ps3 had a trophy tied to facebook that became unachieveable after facebook dropped ps3 support.

Devil_Spooky Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Some mobile games like Dissidia Opera Omnia will also lose FB integration, it has something to do with FB itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance_87 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 It is weird that it's happening with immediate effect. Never used it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Will this affect the PS4 version of The Last of Us, in the same way it did the PS3 release i.e cause major freezing issues when attempting to access the MP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightstream88 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Kind of liked posting pictures with it using facebook, but guess if I want to do that now I'll either have to post them to twitter or use a USB stick and copy and paste images. Never really posted videos since I just post those on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaikichiKawachi Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Can you imagine spamming Facebook with a notification for every trophy? ? It was cool that it pulled my profile picture as my avatar but I'm not going to lose sleep about not having that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightDragon Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Facebook says they’re working on a new agreement with Sony. Matters little to me. Never use it on PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mina Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I abandoned my Facebook account six years ago so it doesn’t bother me. Also, I never linked the two due to security reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky_RykerXD Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 This is great news. Less integration of terrible services, the better. Now if we could get rid of Spotify..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotify is a bliss from the grinding god to prevent players going insane with stupid grinding and repetitive tasks. Tony Hawk's and GTA playlists are god tier for farming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettyBoy Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I stopped using Facebook anyway after dealing with every account I make constantly getting disabled or locked so personally no loss for me. I didn’t tend to use that share feature anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotify is a bliss from the grinding god to prevent players going insane with stupid grinding and repetitive tasks. Tony Hawk's and GTA playlists are god tier for farming. Real issue is not being able to get rid of something 3rd party on my device, regardless of its usefulness. Also integration of other websites, especially when they clearly don't care about security/privacy. There's like 5 other things we can't uninstall, Spotify is just an example. Rant I have to have noise. I hate current streaming services for many reasons, don't want to get into details. Mainly selection and catering to the majority (that's fine, it's a business). So I run my own. Not a brag, but I run 2 TVs in the living room. I try to get people to convert, because it is so much better. Play a game, run Plex or Twitch., podcast, etc..
