The Darkness of PS Home.
29.September.2014
I found my way deep down in the "underground" of Playstation Home, after people repetitively asked me to try it out.
Once the application off the PS3 was done downloading and launching its start, I felt like I was doing something I wasn't allowed to do, I now became one of those people. Once I first put my virtual feet in one of the locations, it wasn’t more than a second before I got an Invite to go to someone's "house" Which I did. Once I was there, I was amazed with the "owner" having a mansion which seemed a little excessive, knowing you have to actually purchase it off the PS Store. He then told me he would send me clothes, which I was dying to get out of those awful "starter" clothes. He then dressed me up in a golden bathing suit and sneakers (good combo?),
That left very little to the imagination, but I put it on.
Then he took me to his yacht, along with some of his female friends, which all seemed to have a way to close relationship with him over the "net". After I looked around, I tried to steal his stuff (which I couldn’t).
Not understanding why he spent so much money to impress various "female" characters which he explained he had a relationship with, like an older nerdy sugar daddy which seemed normal after I spoke to these females. Everything on PS Home cost and without having to spend a dime, they get men to buy it for them.
I left. I ended up in the middle of the main PS Home location, still wearing my golden bathing suit.
Bombarded with creepy messages, I then switched back to my "starter" clothes in a jiffy, a red T-shirt and Jeans, covering myself up, blending in while I explore this unfamiliar scene. Being the defensive bitch that I am, I soon managed to get people off my ass for being a girl in a location with hundreds of single hormonal 13 year old boys.
Once I found some "normal" adults, then they showed me what Ps Home was all about and I was soon to enjoy many of the features of Ps Home, such as the sledge race, board games and other social events. After logging on a few times, even the most "normal" people I had got to know got weird and I then got to see the true colours of the application. With an exception of the few who log on to hang out with friends, have fun or troll others, most people used it as a dating site, some even seemed to "get off" on it. Even though you can't do any sexual actions, people found their own ways, resembling sexual actions and then it was time. I logged off and deleted the application. That would be the last time I stepped my foot into Playstation Home.
I understand what Sony was trying to create, which it lived up to and then just gotten taken over by lonely people looking for something more. Now that Sony announced that they will be closing Playstation Home for good in March 31st, 2015. I can't say I'm bothered about it.
This was my experience of PS Home, do you have one?
