Anyway, once again if this comes to pass, it's just another reason I won't be gaming anymore. (With Sony or EA etc)
I'm not worried too much because most of the talent (and other people in video gaming) will simply make games for the PC or other device that WILL NOT have ads.
I firmly beleive if someone doesn't do something right someone else will. Bye bye Sony.
Sony doesn't realize that there are other options for developers out there. Kickstarter is one of them.
Whatever.....

You make it sound like this would obviously be an either-or situation rather than both-at-the-same-time. Why would they give up one revenue stream for another if they can milk them both.

Umm, screw Sony right in the pooper. If they go to this I'm out. I'm not spending $60 on a game to watch commercials. This is at least half the reason I just stopped going to movies. I'm not paying to watch commercials. The prices go up, the number of commercials go up, and it all means more money for someone else.
I still have enough old games to play. I can get by without more crap from Sony.

I don't know if it will be. If it's both, the industry will suffer.

You beat me to it, cimerians!
^ Even if it's not both, it's going to hurt the industry. I'm glad I never bought a PS3 or PSP now.

Yep. Sony's plan: You'll take both and you'll smile while we give it to you.
