I remember many years ago when I first started using Home. I met wonderful people (NorseGamer was one of the first, actually) and at first, I just wanted to see what it was about. I was also running from something at the time. I actually managed to meet someone on Home that became such a close friend that we ended up flying out to meet up twice already. I have Home to thank for that. I think it’s a wonderful place to meet new friends and even if you’re not feeling particularly social that day, you can just decorate your personal space or try on “clothes” to make different outfits. I never want to see the end of Home. I don’t think I’ll ever be ready if that day comes.

I discovered Playstation Home by a happy accident, and it opened up my world. It also saved my life. I’m so grateful for friends and experiences PSH has given me.

Gah! It sucks that we missed each other at E3 by only a few minutes. It’s such a madhouse, though, that sometimes it can be a real challenge to fit everything in! Was great getting to finally hang out with you in Home, though.

Here’s a tiny tidbit I think I’m safe in teasing: there are some additional cool features planned for Home in 2014, including something that *a lot* of people are going to like. Can’t give out any specifics, of course, but I think it’s important for people to know that Home has more stuff coming over the horizon.

Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to meet a lot of Home developers (including SCEA/SCEE staff) in person, and the biggest thing that I get from every meeting: every single one of them (and I guess I’m part of that “them” now) is passionately engaged with the platform.

What made last night’s party so great is that the community at large got to see some of that enthusiasm. And I think that’s important to see as we finish out the year — that Home is still here for us all.

;^) Norse, it was a real pleasure meeting you in PSHome last night. Meeting you, virtual face to virtual face, was a treat.

:^, I’d missed meeting you in person at E3, -by minutes, I understand- and look forward to meeting you next time. Last night helped to tide me over, I suppose.

;^) As for Home’s fifth anniversary, when I compare Home today to Home back then, and marvel at how much has been added, I ponder what the next five years have in store. When I factor in that Home’s future is heavily influenced by developers who share your passion, I see Home as being in good hands.

Great article, and view on how you see this Norse, we all are Home fans,so we can share that passion I must say and many others I;m sure see the same, the Anniversary event was nice, as Home users got to hang out with devs celebrating and it was nice seeing them work together,I am sure there is more that meet our eyes that we don’t know about in close doors, but can imagine the greatness from it by seeing devs working together, sharing some of what you all develop as an example, Loot has the EoD screens that would be awesome feature to see in other non Loot spaces, as they would be integrated as well as other things other devs have that be great to see implemented. That would be something wonderful to see as a Home consumer. But that’s a whole different topic, do have to say that tonight for me this event was magical as well and it was a great surprise seeing you come and being there with you all celebrating this great day
