Hello Everyone
Last week, we forgot to show you our results of our gamesharing tasks. We want to apologise for that
We thought of a way of how people can share games efficiently. We found out, that there are two options (if you have more, feel free to inspire us in the comments!)
Option 1 : Sharing function on the PS4. The PS4 is the most popular console in this world and luckily, it has some sort of sharing functions, where two players can share all of their games together. It works like that. Every player has an own account and own console. Now, the two player need to log in to the other players console and mark their PS4 as their own PS4. Like that, the original owner, can download all the games the other player bought. It is some sort of tricking around the system. The problem with this method is, that you can only share downloaded games and not the ones bought on a cd. But that's why we thought of a different method.
Option 2 : Share the Gaming CD's. First of all we thought of sharing the whole console. But not all of us live together with their gaming partner and that's why this method would have taken away a lot of fun. In addition to that, the gamers wouldn't be able to play at the same time.
So, we thought about of buying and sharing games together. This method would save a massive amount of CD's and a lot of energy would be spared. The only disadvantage would be, that the gamers cannot play the same games at the same time. But if they're anyway only storygame-players, this wouldn't cause any problems.
Either way, both methods would save a lot of energy, as downloading games and burning CD's uses a huge amount of energy.
So what did we do? We tried out the sharing function on the PS4 and started to play together. To be honest, we where very impressed and overwhelmed. We gave each other our log-in informations and started to play games TOGETHER, while only one of us bought the games. It didn't have any disadvantages, as we both only buy games online and not per CD. The only thing you need here is trust, because you give away each other your informations.
Then we asked some friends of ours, if they use this function too. And, impressingly, they don't. A lot of us don't even know about this function. So we started to inspire our friends to use this function while saving money, energy and downloads.
Today, we want to send out a survey to all the gamers we know. Stay tuned!
Best regards,
Rezon and Deia
