In the future, similar awards are planned to be added to other exclusives, but players have received the idea with extreme skepticism, considering it more of a marketing ploy than a real gesture towards fans.
A PushSquare poll of over 1,100 players showed a harsh reaction: 89% are not going to participate in the program. 62% directly stated that the initiative is uninteresting to them, and only 7% expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to appear in the game.
Many believe that the prospect of becoming a static icon in the game menu is not enough to compensate for Sony's recent controversial decisions.
The selection process caused the greatest dissatisfaction. Participants need to answer detailed questions about their history with the brand and go through an interview. According to players, this is too intrusive.
27% of respondents expressed concerns about data privacy, fearing that Sony might misuse it. In the context of increased attention to privacy, many consider exchanging personal memories for a digital portrait an unfavorable deal.
