I don’t like your tone towards my dear murderous puppy-face. He is Kristaria’s Batman. 😛 If you don’t know what i’m about you will when you see his backstory. 😉 ---

For those that don’t appreciate QA, there was once a bug on a Sega demo disk for Playstation in the official Playstation magazine. The bug wiped out all the save files on the memory card. Another time there was an overflow bug where a custom save file could be created that allowed pirated games to be played. ---

Thanks @Andrew for keeping everyone updated in my absence! I just got some reliable internet in my hotel in LA, where I am holed up, waiting for my flight home, so can reply at last. To expand on Andrew’s news a little (because you’ll all discover this when the update goes live), the feature that held us up was redeem codes… Sony have asked us to remove them from the PS4 version of the game, which makes me sad because we love jumping online and handing them out 😢 ---

Ugh… This makes me feel a bit of regret over my decision to buy a PS4. But, I bought it for the Disgaea Series, which is almost entirely PS2-PS4 exclusive. ---

It let’s them tweet redeem codes that you can enter for free loot. Pc has it. ---

pc players love themselves a nice juicy working redeem code. ---

I need to ask this. What the BUCK is the point of Sony returning your patch to sender for something as innocuous as a redeem code system?! Does Sony hate free game publicity or something? What the hay is the problem with redeem codes? ---

Sounds just like Sony’s ‘gamers first policy’ when then blocked EA Access on PSN as not being “a good value for gamers” when in fact for $30 its one of the best currently available. Free items for Gems players must also be “bad value for gamers” who would have known… ---
