What platform is future proof/safer Pc or Ps3

[DarkStaoneDragon]

Hi I am wanting to future proof my game. As far as security and my game data what platform is best?

example if the ps3 gets discontinued would I be able to add my se account to a ps4 or pc and keep all my characters and items?

or go with pc?

PS3 players get a free conversion to PS4 when it is released. You don't even need to buy a new PS4 account, your PS3 account will be upgraded to PS4 whenever you are ready to switch.

So PS3/PS4 should be safe for the foreseeable future. You can also rely on the PC version since it is the first target of development.

You are good whichever you choose: so choose based on your own preferences and plans.

As for security PS3/PS4 are going to be much safer since it's very unlikely it's going to get infected with malware, key loggers, etc.

Common sense is the best security for anything.

why is that funny? have you had a ps3/4 infected with malware and key loggers? I tried googling it but couldn't find anything except people asking if it can be done. It can be done but I don't see cases so far.

It's funny because there was a point in time where the entire Playstation Network got hacked to pieces and sony shut down PSN for like 2 months and you couldn't play any online games, use netflix/hulu, purchase on the store etc. You could not log into your PSN ID for a LONNNNGGG Time. It was a disaster.

Imagine not being able to play FFXIV for 2 months with an active Subscription and it being Sony's fault and not SE's.

It's also funny because people have rooted PS3's that give them access to Linux and they can run w/e they want on it like it was a linux PC.

how is that compared to keyloggers and viruses? it seems to me you don't know the difference between hacking psn and a virus/keylogger. Still don't get the joke. I owned a playstation during that time, it wasn't as horrible because there are other things outside of video games. Sucked yes! not the end of the world though.

Your account is on SE's end. Regardless of which platform you play on, as long as you buy the game for that platform, you'll still have access to the same account/same characters.

As for your example: Yes, if for whatever reason the PS3's ability to connect to the game is discontinued, you would be able to continue on on PC or PS4. However, you would have to buy the game again for PC, but the PS4 version would be free as long as you use the same PSN account on the PS4.
