After hyping Sackboy up as one of the most "recognized/beloved characters in media" they just nuke the source material??? Whats the point in playing big games anymore? Big corps don't care about their games, smaller corps don't care. The only people who care anymore is the fanbase who have been wanting mere acknowledgement for several months. What a waste.

@@kilnfo A basic PC these days are good enough to enjoy more than enough. A basic valve steam deck for 554 is good enough, even PC's that are worth less are still great, what else is a raspberry pi? Low-Mid range PC's got their uses and can provide still a good gaming experience. PC's have the case of upfront costs, Consoles are simply too expensive nowadays. Charging for online infinitely makes the consoles more expensive vs. your game library. Also if games are getting more bloated and bigger nowadays... You will inevitably spend 300+ on the online crap if you are Playstation or Xbox compared to having simply games being spent. PC's aren't meant to be disposed of after 3 or the latest or greatest games. PC's are as expensive as you make them. Also indie-games are pretty good on PC unlike the consoles. Need a controller? Any controller will do, X-Input or DirectInput, maybe steam's own input converting system replacing it as well. Being below 500 is not bad at all, due to a PC can do more than one thing well. Imagine paying 70 or more dollars for one gamepad that is first party when you can look for deals for xbox 360 official controllers for less or great replacement xbox 360 gamepads. Also emulation on the PC makes playing games even more affordable.

That way it helps to 'preserve' each person's most cherished levels from their favourite creators in their own unique ways, long after the LBP servers are gone.* A pity then that is not how it unfolded, truly believe Sony let us all down with how they handled this.

It's a shame that I don't own a PS4 because this was next on my chopping block to experience since I heard it's a weaker one after 2 and I remember watching videos for creations and I had a blast watching those.

That's the spirit. Don't get me wrong I absolutely loved the Little Big Planet games, but Sackboy A Big Adventure is a good replacement. I honestly love it as much as the LBPs. i don't know why people dislike it so much. It's an epic game.

@@Soopaspooky Most likely because of weird mechanics and how the screen gets trapped in specific areas and its hard to navigate, lbp fans usually are used to 2d screen movement instead of the new 3d.

This game was a nice and warm part of my childhood. the first LBP made me explore my creative mind at such an early age while also doing what I loved the most at that time. Not to mention all the memories with my siblings and friends and how me and my older sister would sneak out of our bedrooms and play in the living room with our neighbors late at night as kids. RIP to this masterpiece of a game.

[@subtolyubthepro]

I am devastated to hear this news, I met most of my friends on LBP3 and I created my psn acc just to play community levels but custom servers exist for the older titles, I feel like Sony could have dealt with this better considering how much advertising Sackboy and winning 5th most iconic game character on something, I will miss you LittleBigPlanet, but all good things must come to an end 😐💌🙏

[@subtolyubthepro]

End of an Era.

[@Nikjamesz]

This is such a bummer. I was without a playstation for several years, and one of the 1st things I did when I got my PS5 is download LBP3 to jump on and play some community levels. I was disappointed when I logged in to see the servers were down and waited a few days and tried again to only see the same message. When I did a Google search originally, it was just a few days after they announced the shutdown. I'm really disappointed to see one of the most promising franchises from the PS3 era was so neglected by Sony. I do hope they show some love to Sackboy and get this franchise rolling again.

There's a lot more hints out there, but those are the ones i know off the top of my head.

Its crazy that 15 years of memories are gone just like that. LittleBigPlanet was a huge part of my childhood, and I wouldn't be the same person today without it. I made a lot of friends and memories, it sucks to see it all gone. There are a lot of levels I loved that I'll never get to play again. I hope Sony doesn't abandon the franchise now, it still has a lot of potential, especially since it seems to be gaining popularity again. I wonder how things would've turned out if they went the free-to-play route. LBP Hub had a lot of potential, it was pretty ahead of it's time. LittleBigPlanet in general was ahead of it's time. Theres still nothing quite like it.

That is so sad, this game and its online community was my whole life when I was a tween. About a year ago my boyfriend and I tried lbp 3 for the first time. I hadn't played since lbp 2 came out. We went online, found my old user and played all the levels I made and published as a kid. I'm glad we got the chance to do that before it was too late, it was so nostalgic and hilarious and gave my boyfriend a chance to meet the child I used to be. I wish I could have done it again in 15 years with my future kids. But everything comes to an end. RIP LBP, you will always have a special place in my heart ❤

Hey, I just wanted to inform you about the LBP3 PS4 servers. They've been shut down INDEFINITELY, not PERMANENTLY. If it were shut down PERMANENTLY (Like it was with LBP PS3 servers), the Official LBP Twitter account would have included that information in its tweet, which didn't happen. The issue is more complicated than it seemed, estimated time for patching it is unknown. we are working hard on bringing it back online. Stay Tuned.

[@UN_Owen327]

(I know it's a lot to read but I promise it's IMPORTANT and very good news, so for everyone seeing this, PLEASE READ the next part, because I need this message to reach as many people as possible to spread the word.) Attention all LBP players, you don't know me. I know that you're sad. I know that you're all angry, or upset and that you feel let down by Sumo and Sony for not protecting the community, which is why we, the players took it into our own hands to do so. I know you feel like you've now lost your home away from home, am I right? Believe me, I know. For a long time, LBP was also my home away from home. I met almost all of my closest friends there. I've found love there. I've found my life's true calling there in the form of making music, and I started getting into graphic design. However, I have incredible news to bring to you all. We have finally found and identified the modder responsible. Now for those who are lost and haven't heard the details of the matter, let's go over what we do know. The person behind it was a user named "Chilly-bath95". That same person is more known by other PSN usernames, such as his recent account "Senestal", and he is most known by his OG LBP2 account, "Eragoy". He also has many other accounts, but that's irrelevant right now. Recently, we have acquired his real name (which is Jonah), his information, his address, and many other incriminating pieces of evidence against him, and I need you all to just trust me on this, and spread the word about him wherever you can, so that we can protect the remnants of the community, the things and people we hold very dear to our hearts, from him, and people like him. The power of the LittleBigPlanet community has and always WILL be that we have power and strength in numbers, and strength in our unity as a community. Right now, we need to display that strength and show him and anyone else who threatens the safety of both the remaining private servers and the community no mercy, we must show them that we are NOT afraid of them, and show them that they will not prevail in breaking us down, because these kinds of people take delight in causing misery to others and having control and power. By simply being sad, we're giving awful people like that the very thing they desire. We need to instead rise, and display that strength in unity against people who target the servers like Jonah. Listen, guys, it's up to us. If we don't stand up to him and do something about him and people LIKE him, NO ONE will and then people like him will think they can act with impunity and do what they want with no legal consequences. But rest assured, we can now rejoice, my fellow LittleBigPlanetians, fellow Sackboys, and Sackgirls, the hunt for the person responsible for the false PSN ban exploits is over. This is it we've found the real-life Negativitron. Evil now has a face and a name. And that name is Jonah Easterling. And don't fret, his face will be revealed too. Until next time, folks. 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻

[@keraxp599]

Epic! 👏 Hope he gets his soul completely doxxed.

[@alacai]

I really hope this is just some very huge sick joke. You've doxxed and potentially put chilly-bath95's life in danger, and you encourage others to do the same? Just because this person caused an entire video game's server to shut down which would've happened sooner, you have to dox over that? Chilly bath was just a troll, you're the evil one here, you sicko.

God I was about to re-install the game to play on old community levels, when I see that it’s shut down indefinitely. Don’t get me wrong, I love the story mode. That being said I’ve got so many nostalgic online games I remember playing that I will no longer be able to play. Such a sad day
