Not surprised Sony’s shaking things up—loyalty programs either evolve or fade away. At least they’re letting us keep the digital collectibles as a little gaming memento. Makes you wonder if Sony’s cooking up something fresh or just trimming the fat. Either way, hope the next rewards system actually feels rewarding.

Bummer to see PlayStation Stars go—it was a fun little bonus for logging in and playing. Hopefully Sony’s next loyalty program brings even cooler rewards to the table Kinda feels like Sony’s testing the waters before dropping a bigger, better rewards system. Fingers crossed they don’t leave us hanging too long
