Surprising news for PlayStation 4 fans is coming. Sony, through a brief blog post, has officially confirmed the news that it has closed down Facebook integration on its PlayStation 4 models. This means PlayStation 4 players are now incapable of connecting their Facebook accounts as well as their console accounts, not to mention finding Facebook friends, sharing screenshots or videos of their gameplay and using Facebook avatars as theirs for PlayStation Network.
While having apologized for the sudden shutdown of Facebook integration and referred users to replace Facebook avatars by stock PS4 images or newly uploaded profile pictures, Sony, on the other hand, did not provide any convincing statements on the circumstance, nor warnings to their users beforehand.
This has triggered inferences about the cause of the move. Some argued that it is because of the recent Facebook data scandals related to Cambridge Analytica, while others hit the points onto Facebook’s latest post about data access elimination for Sony.
Even so, it seems that the situation probably will not last for too long. While the integration is not available for PlayStation4 players, Facebook and Sony are still working to finalize their contract, and are soon coming back with the updated feature.
A possible-but-unfavorable case may come up, which is the end between Sony and Facebook. This seems to be more disadvantageous for Sony when the feature helps to reach out to friends and make streaming videos more viral. Hence, it would be inconvenient for numerous gamers who have huge connections via Facebook and also, over 100 million PS4 consoles have been sold out. Hopefully, the problem is solved to protect those PS4 players.
