Sony responds to #BetterPSN campaign, encourages users to submit ideas

There’s not a PlayStation gamer we know that hasn’t felt some frustration about the online connectivity issues which continue to plague the PSN periodically since the launch of PS4 in 2013.

Well, NEOGAF readers have decided to do something about it by setting up a Twitter hashtag campaign #BetterPSN, giving PS4 owners an outlet to make their voice heard. This isn’t just about PSN stability though, but users are requesting a host of basic features that some expect should have been included from the outset. We’re talking about the features such as the ability to appear offline and two-factor authentication to improve security.

Sony hasn’t addressed any of the issues, but it has responded to the campaign, contacting Gamesbeat to issue the following statement:

“Feedback from our community is very important to us and helps guide our ongoing commitment toward making PlayStation the best place to play. We encourage users to submit ideas on ways to improve PlayStation products and services here: http://share.blog.us.playstation.com/. We appreciate the dialogue we have with our gamers and have built and improved features based directly on their input.”

The PlayStation Share Blog has been running for some time, though we’ve seen some of the most requested features for PS4 still at the top of its user-generated charts for some time with no progress as yet, or word from Sony on whether these features will be implemented. Let’s hope at least some of the features, and certainly improved online stability for PSN, are incoming.

What one thing do you think would improve your PSN/PS4 experience?
