Sony To Delete Virtual Goods 171
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."

Can't argue. Anyone who needed "proof" that virtual goods hosted on someone elses server could disappear pretty much got what they deserved, minus a punch in the face. I'll work on that though if I meet any of them.

The self-hatred is strong in this one.

Sony should email people their virtual property.

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.
