I truly don’t see it being more as “when Home finally goes offline” but more like “when Home expands”.

Even more so, Home has become a overwhelming successful social network on a gaming console.

I just don’t really see this as “what if…” or “when it will…”

I just see it expanding sometime soon.

Hopefully they`ll continue to support Home when the PS4 arrives. After all the PS2 has only just been fazed out, why stop a great service like Home just because a new console comes out.
All that will happen is the PS3 will be reduced in price giving a much wider audience a chance to purchase it. As long as theirs the companies to produce the content and the users to purchase I dont see a reason for it to stop.

With elder scrolls online coming, im a fairly active member of imvu having created my own public space, had a very good gaming social life on gta, rdr and midnight club. With my life outside the ps3 as well. Id mourn home going but im not reliant on it. Me and my online friends had a back up before the outage anyway, knowing how fragile the ps network is. through the wonders of social media we met up on imvu, explored second life now that was funny and weird and joined up in forum chat rooms. If anyone is that reliant on Home or PSN then id suggest get a back up plan. And if anyone is that addicted to home that seriously, then you need to get out into the bigger virtual world and see whats out there. Home isnt everything, and of course do it without damaging reality of course. Rejoice youve been able to be involved. and enjoy the good times

Digital Leisure make a lot of stuff outside of Home, as do Juggernaut and Hellfire, quite a few in fact. But that’s the business side of it, what will matter the most is those who “live” there. Like lil old me! I know where I’d go firstly if Home was to finish at the PS3; games. Just yesterday while Hone was offline I decided to go back to Skyrim for a bit. I realised I still hadn’t gone as deep as I’d always wanted to with my Alchemy so I spent most of the morning mixing potions and poisons, just experimenting in my little room if magics…

After nearly 500 hours of being in that world and I STILL leveled up just from tinkering around! I know, you wanna know what this has to do with Home? It has ZERO to do with Home! I guess what I’m saying is, although I love to socialize and meet new people, I also love whittling away the hours exploring the rich worlds of single player games all on my lonesome.

I will definitely miss Home *when* it goes, but I also feel I’ve been neglecting the real reason I got a PS3 for quite a few years because of it. Let’s just hope it continues on the PS4 for now, this sand around my head is cool and comfortable lol
