I like to think Journey and Home to an extent remind us that even as we reach the end, we are never truly alone, and there are those closest to us willing to take that next step into the unknown…

Ahh Journey, how I loved my first play through. That Sandy bit at the end, at the peak of the mountain; I knew I had died as had my mysterious partner. I had become swept up in it all and instinctively headed to the light, by the time I’d reached the top I realized I’d left them behind, I thought I’d lost them right at the very end. So I waited. And called. And called…

Just as I was about to give up and head into the light, I heard that faint, unique note of their call. When they got to me, they made a heart in the sand for me and we slowly finished the journey we’d accidentally begun together. Best. Ending. Ever!

One of the more profound messages of Journey is that the end of something (while sad and hard to accept) also can mean a new beginning, a start of something new that’s even better than what came before; and each time we accept an end, we become stronger for the future.

If Home were to end on the PS3 I would always, ALWAYS, look back on it with good thoughts. Sure, there’s been some unpleasant and bitter moments in there, but the laughs I’ve had, and the friends I’ve made; the quirky, honest and amazing people I’ve met from all over the world… you just put a price tag on that.

I also played that game and was shocked when they announced the closing of it. I have since learned not to get attached to these type of games. U never know what will happen. I cant speculate about if Home will go to the ps4 or not. There have been so many thoughts and opinions, i guess we just have to wait and see. Anyway i agree that when i am playing a non MMO type game and it takes a long time, i get sad when its over and always want more!!

Hopefully home will evolve and not recreated or removed like a game would be. Gamers expect an end it’s what they aim for. Social MMO users expect evolution. Sadly currently all im seeing and reading about is people saying how many of they friends are now no longer using home regularly. Every time I used to log on to find at least a third of my friends list on home now id be lucky to find 2 or 3 is a quote I’m seeing a lot more of around social media networks. But live for now what will be will be.

Change is a part of life though many people don’t like it much. Everything changes, people, places, Home is no different. Sometimes change brings good things, sometimes it brings an end to things.The PS4 is a changing of the guard so to speak, it represents the future of Sony’s gaming and perhaps there is a place in that future for Home, perhaps not.
Learning to live for today, for the moment isn’t an easy lesson. Worrying about anything you have no control over is a waste of energy and time. Live for today, enjoy the day, and you will be a happier person.
Nice read as always Ted.

A bitter-sweet read and a truth. Well done John! You touched on one undeniable truth, we must always live for the moment, the future of anything is not a given.

I think I know what game your talking about.

I played that game as well and it came as a total shock to read the message of the day and find out the game was closing in a month. The game had over a million accounts and seemed so successful and when it closed so suddenly it raised all kinds of ethical questions about how to treat players.

I have thought about this game often when I hear all the Home ps4 talk but I am one of those who think that Home will be on the ps4.

Ether way you are right, we should enjoy the ride while we are on it!
